Wahle reports that the Gothic Hôtel de Ville, near his house, had never suggested to him the idea of the Doges' Palace at Venice, in spite of certain architectural likenesses, until a certain day when this idea broke upon him with much clearness. He then recalled that two hours before he had observed a lady wearing a beautiful brooch in the form of a gondola.
'Come, come! said Wahle more seriously; 'we ought not to wish even our enemies such evil as that. The words were hardly uttered when a dozen musket-shots rang out from without the wall that surrounded the moat. Several balls whistled over the heads of the two children, and the miner who had just been rebuked fell with a cry of, 'Oh, I am killed!
This being at once granted, the little party turned out to consist of the two miners, Roller and Wahle, sent some days before on a special mission, together with Master Prieme, who had fortunately succeeded in making his escape.
'But how can I get out? asked Conrad again. 'Nobody may leave the town. 'In about an hour's time there is to be a sortie from the Donat Gate, and you can manage to creep out with the men. Roller the miner is going out with them as well; he and Wahle are going all the way to General Piccolomini in Bohemia, but on no account show the safe-conduct to him.
'Dear Wahle, said Dollie to a miner, who, with the assistance of several others, was carrying a great palisade past the spot where the children stood, 'please have you seen anything of my father? I've brought him a can of warm soup. 'Warm soup! said the man jocosely; 'why, the enemy cook enough of that for us, only they warm us in rather a different way.
Wasn't that what Abimelech did when he couldn't get round the people of Sichem any other way? 'Ah, but when he tried it again at another place, laughed Wahle, 'a woman dropped a stone on his head from the top of the tower, and that finished him. 'May the same fate soon overtake Torstenson! said a third. 'Oh, he'll never venture up here, said Wahle.
