He slid one hand into a side of his frock above the girdle, and tossed a bag of coin. 'Take it, if 'tis in thee to forfeit the greater blessing, he cried contemptuously. The Thier peeped into the bag, and appeared satisfied. 'I follow, said he; 'lead on, good father, and I'll be in the track of holiness for the first time since my mother was quit of me.
This was the sight of a formidable staff, whirling an unfriendly halo over the head of the Thier, and descending on it with such honest intent to confound and overthrow him, that the Thier succumbed to its force without argument, and the square echoed blow and fall simultaneously.
She responded with an indignant projection of the underjaw, evanishing rapidly. There was no resource left him but to curse her with extreme heartiness. The Thier stamped his right leg, and then his left, and remembered the old woman as a grievance five minutes longer. When she was clean forgotten, he yawned. Another spouse of the moment was wanted, to be wooed, objurgated, and regretted.
Look, my father! they dare not strike me in the street: you they would fell without pity. Go! what they dare in a house, they dare not in the street. Schwartz Thier had opened the door. At sight of Margarita, the troop gave a shout. 'Now! on the doorstep, full in view, my beauteous one! that they may see what a lucky devil I am and have no doubts about the handing over. Margarita looked behind.
The act of flight had touched the young girl's heart with the spirit of flight. She crouched like a winded hare under the nose of the hound, and covered her face with her two hands. Margarita was no wisp in weight, but Schwartz Thier had her aloft in his arm as easily as if he had tossed up a kerchief. 'Look all, and witness! he shouted, lifting the other arm.
'Then go, she beckoned, and held her hand for him to kiss. He raised it to his lips. This was seen of all the Club. As they were departing with Farina, and Guy prepared to demand admittance into the convent, Dietrich chanced to ask how fared Dame Lisbeth. Schwartz Thier was by, and answered, with a laugh, that he had quite forgotten the little lady. 'We took her in mistake for you, mistress!
He had apparently caught sight of the brawl, and, either because he distinguished his own men, or was seeking his natural element, hastened up for his share in it, which was usually that of the king of beasts. His first call was for Schwartz Thier. The men made way, and he beheld his man in no condition to make military responses.
The Goshawk was stamping with excitement. 'Not a moment to be lost, my lad, said Guy, catching his arm. 'Here, I've had half-a-dozen fights already for this bit of ground. Do you know that fellow squatting there? Farina beheld the Thier at the entrance of a tumbledown tent. He was ruefully rubbing a broken head.
Others judged that he was a random hitter, and had no mortal point in aim. Schwartz Thier's opinion was frequently vented. 'Too round a stroke down on him! Chop-not slice! Guy persevered in his own fashion. According to Schwartz Thier, he brought down by his wilfulness the blow that took him on the left shoulder, and nigh broke him. It was a weighty blow, followed by a thump of sound.
Henker Rothhals and the rest of the troop looked, as they came trotting to the scene, with the coolness of umpires: but they witnessed something other than what Schwartz Thier proposed.
