"It isn't, my blessed child." "It is, Gertrude our civilisation." "Oh, civilisation." "Englanderin, Englanderin," mocked Bertha. "Englishwooman, very Englishwooman," echoed Elsa Speier. "Well, I am Englanderin," said Millie, blushing crimson. "Would you rather the street-boys called Englanderin after you or they didn't?" "Oh, Jimmie," said Solomon impatiently. "I wasn't asking you, Solomon."
"It doesn't me, Gertrude." "What is English towns looking like," said Elsa Speier. No one seemed ready to take up this challenge. "Like other towns I suppose," laughed Jimmie. "Our Millie is glad to be in Germany," ruled Fraulein, rising. "She and I agree I go most gladly to England. Gairtrud is neither English nor German. Perhaps she looks down upon us all."
Richard Cox, appointed bishop of Ely, had visited Frankfort and Strassburg. Edmund Grindall, who was to be the new bishop of London, had, during his exile, visited Strassburg, Speier, and Frankfort. Miles Coverdale, who had been bishop of Exeter but who was not reappointed, had been in Geneva in the course of his exile.
Be it as it may, it is not less certain that the celebrity which the expeditions of Ordaz, Herrera, and Speier had already given to the Orinoco, the Meta, and the province of Papamene, situate between the sources of the Guaviare and Caqueta, contributed to fix the fable of El Dorado near to the eastern back of the Cordilleras.
How soon do you expect to come in possession of it?" "Now at this very hour." Melac drew back, and eyed the monk suspiciously. "How! These lying wretches had two millions of treasure, and not one of them would yield it up?" "General, the people of Speier have nothing nothing. Nobody knew of it save the bishop, who died day before yesterday, and the sacristan, who died to-day.
"But what is done, is done Worms and Speier are in ashes, and their murdered inhabitants at rest. But, oh, my liege, my gracious lord, the city of Trier is threatened with the same fate! For three days the people have been crying in vain for mercy. At your feet, sire, I implore you, have pity, and save them from butchery!"
The Indians told him that, farther on, white men wandered about the plains. Speier, who imagined that he was not far from the banks of the Amazon, had no doubt that these wandering Spaniards were men unfortunately shipwrecked in the expedition of Ordaz.
"Let them protest; we will have raised such a barrier of desolation between themselves and France, that we can afford to laugh at their indignation. I for my part approve of the method of warfare traced out for us by the minister of war, and I shall carry it out from Basle to Coblentz. The time we allowed to the people of Speier for reflection, expires to-day. To horse, then!
"General, recall to your mind Speier and Worms, and grant us leave to find our retaliation for their destruction in Gab." "You say there is not a living soul in Gab? Are there, then, no women, no children, no superannuated or infirm?" "General, every house is empty. I found but one living creature in Gab a young girl who lay sick in bed too sick to move." "Alone? forsaken?"
Suddenly a red glow brightened the heavens, and gilded the dark waters of the Rhine that Rhine which he had so incarnadined with blood! Avenging God! It was the fire himself had kindled! It leaped up from every point of Speier and now now the cathedral was in flames, and death slow, lingering, and agonizing had overtaken the Hyena of Esslingen!
