"Well, well," replied Pellicanus, smiling bitterly, "yet they toss me into the rubbish heap." "That would be. . . ." "Ah, you think the wise would then be fools with the fools," interrupted Pellicanus. "Not at all. Do you know what our masters expect of us?" "You are to shorten the time for them with wit and jest." "But when must we be real fools, my Lord? Have you considered?
Other rewards were bestowed upon it, for no other bird could hatch a brood of young ones in winter, and it also had the power of lessening the fever of those, who cherished it. A flock of wild geese flew over the road and the hills, and Pellicanus cried: "Look there! They always fly in two straight lines, and form a letter of the alphabet. This time it is an A. Can you see it?
All these things led Pellicanus so the jester was named to make many a conjecture, and he left none untried. As a mosaic picture is formed from stones, he by a hundred signs, conjured up a vision of the lad's character, home, and the school from which he had run away. He called him the son of a noble of moderate property.

To be sure, they send out no green shoots. Dear Lord, how his face is burning!" So saying, Pellicanus laid his hand on the boy's forehead and when he felt that it was hot, deemed it better to stop his examination for the day, and only asked his patient his name. "Ulrich," was the reply. "And what else?" "Let me alone!" pleaded the boy, drawing the coverlet over his head again.
Many an allusion and jesting word showed that Pellicanus still believed him to be the son of a knight, and this at last became unendurable to the lad. One evening, when they were both in bed, he summoned up his courage and told him everything he knew about his past life.
