Farewell, you shall hear from me before long!" He nodded once more kindly to Joseph Speckbacher and galloped down the valley, while Speckbacher trotted up the mountain-path. Andreas Hofer rode all day long through the country.
I am of Sand, in Passeyer. "Anderl Hofer was my schoolfellow; and these are my boys, whom I have brought to see all that remains of him. Oh! Sir! they did not conquer him, although the murderers shot him on the bastion; but, as he wrote to Pulher his friend and mine it was indeed 'in the name, and by the help of the Lord, that he undertook the voyage," We paced through the city sorrowfully.
Hofer had, meanwhile, placed himself, early on the 10th, at the head of the brave peasantry of Passeyr, Algund, and Meran, and had thrown himself on the same road, somewhat to the north, near Sterzing, where a Bavarian battalion was stationed under the command of Colonel Baernklau, who, on being attacked by him, on the 11th, retreated to the Sterzinger Moos, a piece of tableland, where, drawn up in square, he successfully repulsed every attempt made to dislodge him until Hofer ordered a wagon, loaded with hay and guided by a girl, to be pushed forward as a screen, behind which the Tyrolese advancing, the square was speedily broken and the whole of Baernklau's troop was either killed or taken prisoner.
Trennahan now had a grown-up daughter, she was obliged to take her to the cotillons and other routs given under the merciless supervision of the Leader. Isabel accompanied her as a matter of course, and when she declined an invitation her guest was at liberty to go with the ever faithful Mrs. Hofer. For three weeks Isabel did little thinking.
Hofer, in charge; so I just helped him lift the man out, and then came back here," he answered as lightly as he could, and without adding a word about the moments that he himself had lain there stunned from the force of the blow on his head. Louise looked down at him anxiously. His face was white, and his hands were a little unsteady. "Please don't try to read, Dr. Brownlee," she urged.
The judges had decided in my favor, and by reversing their judgment, you treat with harshness and cruelty an old man who stands on the brink of the grave, and deprive my poor grandchild of its whole inheritance." "May God and the Holy Virgin preserve me from committing such a crime," murmured Andreas Hofer, crossing himself devoutly.
The general, in consideration of his captivity among the Tyrolese, wished to act mildly and impartially, and sent a telegraphic dispatch to the viceroy at Milan to inquire what was to be done with Andreas Hofer, inasmuch as the sentence of the court-martial had not been passed unanimously. An answer was returned very soon.
And no wonder that the men like Hofer are desperate. We were escorted by a policeman after all, and he seemed to enjoy himself. The flash of knives I saw two men stuck made as little impression upon him as the awful abandonment of well, of the females. Good God! Well, I hope another variety is in store to-day. Hofer, at least, does not appear to be dissipated."
Deafening cheers greeted him, and the dense crowd assembled in the street shouted: "Long live Andreas Hofer, the commander-in-chief! Long live Andreas Hofer, the liberator!" "My brave son, Joseph Speckbacher," said the Capuchin, filling his glass, "you see every one gets his due in the end.
Anthony Steeger hastened to bring him what he wanted, and while Hofer scrawled the letter, his friend stood behind him, and followed with attentive eyes every word which Andreas finished with considerable difficulty. Both were so much absorbed in the letter that they did not perceive that the door opened behind them, and that Baron von Hormayr, in a dusty travelling-dress, entered the room.
