But when I had to give way because I was suffering from fearful wounds and bites, I heard a shrill whistle; the dogs scurried into the yard, the gates were swung shut and the bolt shot into position, and I sank down on the highroad unconscious." Kohlhaas, white in the face, said with forced jocularity, "Didn't you really want to escape, Herse?"
Keep your eyes open, Dame Herse!" "Never fear!" cried Herse. "And I have need to keep them open I am sorry to say. The young captain, who on board ship was so bashful and retiring, as soon as he was on land altered his time.
"I am glad of that," she said simply; and she added that it was the same with her, for she had been thinking all night of Marcus and his horses.
