You shall speak as a good patriot ought to speak." "Yes, I shall speak like a good patriot," said Wenzel, ardently.

"Yes, on the Kohlmarkt." "You shall do your best to draw the people thither.
In vain did the Squire Wenzel, as he worked his way out of the crowd, call to the knights to go to his cousin's aid; even before they had started to rescue him, they had been so scattered by the rush of the mob that the Chamberlain, who in falling had injured his head, was exposed to the full wrath of the crowd.
After informing himself of these particulars, Kohlhaas ascended the tower of the castellan's quarters in the interior of which there was still a habitable room, and there he drew up a so-called "Kohlhaas mandate" in which he warned the country not to offer assistance to Squire Wenzel Tronka, against whom he was waging just warfare, and, furthermore, commanded every inhabitant, instead, relatives and friends not excepted, to surrender him under penalty of death and the inevitable burning down of everything that might be called property.
For my own part, I think the long storm and a great scarcity of food had something to do with it, for tales of the kind were never wanting in our province. The wolf-gathering, however, saved us a journey to Siberia: thanks to old Wenzel.
The last time I saw Wenzel and Metski was in the trenches at Minsk, where they had a tough debate regarding our adventure in the forest: the woodman insisting it was the Finn's spell that brought the wolves in such unheard-of numbers, and the peasant maintaining that it was a judgment on our desecration of Christmas-eve.

It is an insult offered to the emperor, that a foreign flag with such an abominable inscription is floating here. Down with the banner!" "Very good, very good, indeed," said Thugut, smiling. "This man Wenzel is really a practical fellow. Go on, sir." "The crowd constantly assumed larger proportions, and the shouts of 'Down with the banner! became every moment more impetuous and threatening.
Ah, if I could only see them once more in my life!" "Wait yet for fourteen years; you can see them then if they be still alive, and care about having you back." "I shall not live fourteen years," murmured the pale, downcast man. "Well, listen to me, Mr. Wenzel. What would you do if I should set you at liberty?" "At liberty?" asked the man, almost in terror.
And indeed, after the situation had been explained to him and he had been told that, to offset this, complete satisfaction would be rendered to him in Dresden in his suit against Squire Wenzel Tronka, he very soon acquiesced in the matter.
