'Herr Baron! said Henker Rothhals impressively; 'the matter is, that there's something unholy among us. The Baron's goblet flew at his head before the words were uttered. 'I'll make an unholy thing of him that says it, and Werner lowered at them one by one. 'Then I say it, Herr Baron! pursued Henker Rothhals, wiping his frontispiece: 'The Devil has turned against you at last.
The assault on the Thier was all in the play, and a visible interference of fortune in favour of Henker Rothhals. Now general commotion shuttled them, and the stranger's keen hazel eyes read their intentions rightly when he lifted his redoubtable staff in preparation for another mighty swoop, this time defensive.
The Goshawk drew his fair charge through them, followed by Farina, the Thier, and Rothhals. A last glimpse of the hall showed them still as old cathedral sculpture staring at white light on a fluted pillar of the wall.

'And I'm out of it! fasting like a winter wolf, howled the fellow. He was in the act of addressing himself to an inspection of the wain's contents, when a second flask lifted in air, gave a sop to his curiosity. This flask suffered the fate of the former.
