The man who stood before them was no teacher in the school, but the city clerk, Van Hout, who, to-day filled the place of his sick friend, Verstroot, master of arts and preacher. During the ringing of the bells he had closed the book, and now said: "'Suspendo lectionem. Jan Mulder, how would you translate my 'suspendere'?" "Hang," replied the boy. "Hang!" laughed Van Hout.
Colonel Mulder looked after him and exclaimed to those left behind: "The fellow is possessed with a devil." The next morning the madrigal was practised at the burgomaster's house, while its master was presiding over a meeting at the town-hall. Georg stood between Henrica and Maria.
"Herr von Noyelles," said Colonel Mulder, "has written about them to the Prince, the good and truthful words, that they ought to be sent to the gallows." "And they will suit them," cried Captain Allertssohn, "so long as hangmen's nooses and traitors' necks are made for each other." "Traitors no," said Van der Werff resolutely.
Georg hastily sat erect, stretched himself like a person roused from sleep, and answered pleasantly: "Dreams come in idleness." "The cage is getting too narrow for him," said Captain Van der Laen. "If this state of things lasts long, we shall all get dizzy like the sheep." "And as stiff as the brazen Pagan god on the shelf yonder," added Colonel Mulder.
A fellow with a face like a satyr. We have no lack of comfort yet! Remember Chevraux' defeat, and the Beggars' victory at Vlissingen on the Scheldt." "To brave Admiral Boisot and the gallant Beggar troops!" cried Captain Van der Laen, touching glasses with Colonel Mulder.
"Of course I'm at your service. Let us go; have you the notes at home?" "No, Herr von Dornburg, I have just taken them to the ladies; but early to-morrow morning " "There will be a rehearsal early to-morrow morning! The jug is for me, Jungfer Dortchen! Your health, Colonel Mulder! Captain Huivenvoorde, I drain this goblet to your new standard and hope to have many a jolly ride by your side."
Jan Mulder had hastily retreated among his companions, and instead of coming forward and giving his name, called: "Look for the hat-fuller, Glipper! We'll play blindman's buff." The youth, frantic with rage, repeated his question. When, instead of any other answer, the boys entered into Jan Mulder's jest, shouting gaily: "Yes, play blind-man's buff! Look for the hat-fuller.
The doctrine of Mulder, so widely diffused in popular and scientific belief, of the existence of a common base of all albuminous substances, the so-called protein, has not stood the test of rigorous analysis.
Colonel Mulder looked after him and exclaimed to those left behind: "The fellow is possessed with a devil." The next morning the madrigal was practised at the burgomaster's house, while its master was presiding over a meeting at the town-hall. Georg stood between Henrica and Maria.
"You might be hung from a hook perhaps, but where should we hang a lesson? Adrian Van der Werff." The lad called rose quickly, saying: "'Suspendere lectionen' means to break off the lesson." "Very well; and if we wanted to hang up Jan Mulder, what should we say?" "Patibulare ad patibulum!" cried the scholars. Van Hout, who had just been smiling, grew very grave.
