"Surely. Where are we to march?"
"On Innsbruck."
"Capital! Teimer joins us, of course?"
"With the men of the upper Inn. I shall occupy Mount Brenner, ready to drop down on the city. The regulars, under General Buol, will be higher up. Father Joachim will head the peasants on Berg Isel."
"Come, we ought to succeed this time. I hope we shall not only take the city, but keep it better than we did before. Father Joachim has sent me an amulet, to keep me from harm. Do you think there's anything in it?"
"Well—what know I? This I know—the Lord of hosts has protected you and me, my friend, through many dangers, thus far, without e'er an amulet; so I hope He will continue to do so henceforth."
"Well—yes. Maria wished me to wear it, so I thought it would do no harm—it makes her easy, you know."
"There's something that would make me easy, my brother, if you will yield to me—let us seek the blessing of God in prayer."
"Certainly, if you wish it."
