Now the Duke knew right well that Otto wanted to revenge himself upon the people of Stargard, with whom he was at enmity; but he pretended not to observe the cunning knight's motives, and merely replied "They must talk of the matter at Wolgast, for nothing could be decided upon without having the opinion of his cousin the Duchess."
"Aye," said the Prince, urging his horse to speed, "but will we ever get there?" Then I called myself all the stupid-heads in the world, because I had not refused to go a foot with the Prince on such a mad venture, and so put our future and that of the Princedom of Plassenburg in such peril. But there at last were the gray walls and high towers of the Abbey of Wolgast.
"Dan and I will do all we can to stop our oldtime chums, now of the Army," agreed Dave. "But they're a hard pair to beat. Any one who saw Prescott and Holmes play last year will agree that they're a hard pair of nuts for the Navy to crack." "We've got to beat the Army this year," Farley protested plaintively. "I certainly hope we shall do so." "Darry, what is your candid opinion of Wolgast?"
All the way to Baltimore and thence to Philadelphia, Dave Darrin was unusually quiet. Dalzell, on the other hand, made noise enough for both of them. "Darry hasn't the sulks over anything, has be?" Wolgast anxiously asked Dalzell. "Don't you believe it," Dan retorted. "But he's so abominably quiet." "Saving all his breath to use on the field." "Are you sure Darry is in form?" persisted Wolgast.
Before, however, I continue the relation of Sidonia's adventures, I must state to your Grace what were the circumstances which induced Otto von Bork to demand so urgently the dues upon the Jena from their Highnesses of Stettin and Wolgast. In my opinion, it was for nothing else than to revenge himself upon the burgomaster of Stargard, Jacob Appelmann, father of the equerry.
Straight over the line charged Dave Darrin, and laid the ball down. Now the athletic field resounded with excited yells. Annapolis had seen "a new one," and it caught the popular fancy like lightning. Back the pigskin was carried, and placed for the kick. "You take it, Darry," called Wolgast. "You've earned it!" "Take it yourself, Wolly," replied Dave Darrin. "This is your strong point."
Wrenn sat trying to think of something else to say. Lonely people in city restaurants simply do not get acquainted. Yet he did manage to observe, "Great building that'll be," in the friendliest manner. Silence. Then the fat man went on: "Wonder what Wolgast will do in his mill? Don't believe he can stand up." Wolgast was, Mr. Wrenn seemed to remember, a pugilist.
They made themselves masters of Damgarten, and several other places which the Swedes had garrisoned; and the frost setting in, those who were quartered in the isle of Useclom passed over the ice to Wolgast, which they reduced without much difficulty.
Still I cannot, with any certainty, assert why they should all three choose to simulate death. Further, just to show the daring of these robber-bands, now that his Highness had closed the courts, I shall end this chapter by relating what happened at Monkbude, a town through which their Highnesses passed that same day, and which, although close to the Stettin border, belongs to Wolgast.
While Sidonia clapped her hands and danced about for joy, Otto looked grave, and said, "But, gracious Lord, the nearest way to Wolgast is by Cammin. Sidonia must make a circuit if she goes by Old Stettin." The conversation was now interrupted by the lacqueys, who came to announce that dinner was served.
