Most of the better classes of the Liegeois seemed to entertain similar opinions with the Syndic, and there had been scarce so much joy amongst them at the obtaining possession of Schonwaldt as now seemed to arise from the prospect of getting safe out of it.
I am the Syndic Pavillon of Liege! If you are for us, I will enrich you if you are for the other side, I will protect you, but do not do not leave me to die the death of a smothered pig!" In the midst of this scene of blood and confusion, the presence of mind of Quentin suggested to him that this dignitary might have the means of protecting their retreat.
That the Syndic alone stood between him and arrest, that by the Syndic alone he lived, he had learned at a meeting at which he had been present the previous night at the Grand Duke's country house four leagues distant.
Lord Albemarle immediately dispatched a courier with an order for the release of the syndic and the Frau Vandersloosh, with a note to the former, stating that his majesty would receive him on the following day at noon. But while this act of justice had been preparing at the palace of the Hague, there were other acts, not quite so justifiable, performing at the town of Amsterdam.
"Under whom did you learn your trade?" the governor asked; "for I have been in Nuremberg and know most of the guild of clockmakers by name."

"He would do it!" the Syndic cried passionately. And he struck the table. "He would, curse him!" "And he would not forget," Basterga continued, with a meaning nod, "that you had miscalled him!" "No! But I will be before him!" The Syndic was on his feet again, shaking like a leaf. "Ay?" Basterga blew his nose to hide the flash of triumph that shone in his eyes. "You will be wise in time?
"I wish to speak to you," the magistrate said with firmness. Before she knew what was happening he had motioned to her to go before him into the house, and following had locked the door behind them. She knew him by sight, as did all Geneva; and the blood, which surprise at the sight of a stranger had brought to her cheeks, fled as she recognised the Syndic.
"Visiting my old cell in the cloisters we found in one corner of the dungeon a humped up skeleton, which led us to believe that the prison of the captive spy had never been discovered. "The next day the trade unions appointed each a syndic and these, with the colleagues, sought to quiet the city, but without success.
