Arnold of Sewa went in, and the door was banged behind him. Five minutes later he came out, sucking the first finger of his left hand. "No," he said; "it can't be done. The tyrant has convinced me." "I knew he would," said Arnold of Melchthal. "Then I think you might have warned me," snapped Arnold of Sewa, dancing with the pain of his burnt finger. "Was it hot?" "Boiling." "Ah!"
Arnold of Sewa crept stealthily behind him, and was just about to bring his cudgel down on his head, when Leuthold, catching sight of him, saved his comrade by driving his pike with all his force into Arnold's side. Arnold said afterwards that it completely took his breath away.
"What you want" said Arnold of Sewa, who had seen the beginning of the fight from the window of his cottage and had hurried to join it, and, as usual, to give advice to everybody "what you want here is guile. That's what you want guile, cunning. Not brute force, mind you. It's no good rushing at a man in armour and hitting him. He only hits you back. You should employ guile. Thus. Observe."
The mountain pass is open. Follow me I see the rock, and little cross upon it: This is the spot; here is the Rootli. WINKELRIED. Hark! SEWA. The coast is clear. MEYER. None of our comrades come? We are the first, we Unterwaldeners. MELCHTHAL. How far is't in the night? BAUMGARTEN. The beacon watch Upon the Selisberg has just called two. MEYER. Hush! Hark!
Few of the people carried weapons, and the soldiers were clad in armour, and each bore a long pike or a sharp sword. As Arnold of Sewa would have said if he had been present, what the people wanted was prudence. It was useless to attack men so thoroughly able to defend themselves. Therefore the people looked on and groaned, but did nothing.
BRAMBANAM. Near the centre of Java, between the native capitals of Djoko-kerta and Surakerta, is the village of Brambanam, near which are abundance of ruins, the most important being the temples of Loro-Jongran and Chandi Sewa. At Loro-Jongran there were twenty separate buildings, six large and fourteen small temples.
A scene of great enthusiasm followed. The last words were spoken by Werner Stauffacher. "We want a leader," he said. "I don't wish to thrust myself forward," began Arnold of Sewa, "but I must say, if it comes to leading " "And I know the very man for the job," said Werner Stauffacher. "William Tell!"
See you nothing? MEYER. What is it? Ay, indeed! A rainbow in the middle of the night. MELCHTHAL. Formed by the bright reflection of the moon! FLUE. A sign most strange and wonderful, indeed! Many there be who ne'er have seen the like. SEWA. 'Tis doubled, see, a paler one above! BAUMGARTEN. A boat is gliding yonder right beneath it. MELCHTHAL. That must be Werner Stauffacher!
The first thing a man does when he has accepted the leadership of a revolution is to come and plot with his companions. "Well?" said everybody eagerly, as the three arrived. Werner Stauffacher shook his head. "Ah," said Arnold of Sewa, "I see what it is. He has refused. You didn't exercise tact, and he refused." "We did exercise tact," said Stauffacher indignantly; "but he would not be persuaded.
I merely say that that is how I should have acted had they done so." And Arnold of Sewa twirled his moustache and looked offended. His friends instantly suggested that he should be allowed to try where the other three had failed, and the rest of the crowd, beginning to hope once more, took up the cry. The result was that the visitors' bell of the Palace was rung for the second time.
