If that is so, and we destroy their craft, they will be trapped in the islet, and on our return we can capture them all. I think of leaving Harcourt and Tresham in the boat, in order that when Piccolomini's galley comes in, they may direct him also to join us." "He may be in at any moment; we met him three days since. He had captured a pirate, and sent her off under charge of ten of his knights.
Thus the garrison would have timely notice of the arrival of help. Piccolomini's despatch to Schönleben ran as follows:
Notwithstanding great difficulties lay in the way of so long a march through desolated provinces, he did not hesitate to despatch an army into Holstein under Count Gallas, who, after Piccolomini's retirement, had resumed the supreme command of the troops.
I rang for Le Duc, put on my dressing-gown, and sent him for my coffee. He had scarcely left the room when the door opened and I saw Perine and the fellow named Wiedan, whom I had seen at Piccolomini's, and who styled himself a friend of St. Germain. I was sitting on my bed, putting on my stockings.
Immediately after the intelligence of Piccolomini's defection, he issued orders, that in future no commands were to be obeyed, which did not proceed directly from himself, or from Terzky, or Illo. He prepared, in all haste, to advance upon Prague, where he intended to throw off the mask, and openly to declare against the Emperor.

If there be any one that wants satisfaction, let him say so, I am his man. TIEFENBACH. Softly, softly? 'Twas but a word or two. Till to-morrow therefore! Subscribe Judas! ISOLANI. Out upon you, Illo! Down with the sword! Take him off to bed! ILLO cursing and raving is held back by some of the officers, and amidst a universal confusion the curtain drops. A Chamber in PICCOLOMINI's Mansion.
As soon as the worthy man had heard my account of my misfortune he said he would do his best to catch the two rascals, but he did not conceal from me his fears that it was already too late. I took the opportunity of telling him of Piccolomini's visit to me, his claims and threats.
