[A FIGURE SPRANG AT ME OUT OF THE DARK ENTRY]

[I SAW A MAN LYING IN A HUDDLED HEAP]

[WE CREPT SOFTLY AS FOXES TOWARD THE WALL]

["SIR, YOU COME FROM THE ILLUSTRIOUS PRINCE MAURICE OF NASSAU?"]

[RIGHT MERRY WERE THE CITIZENS AT THE SUCCESS OF OUR ENTERPRISE]

[VOLMAR READ THE LETTER BY THE AID OF A LANTERN]

[I BEHELD THREE MEN AS BLACK BLOTS MOVING IN THE DARKNESS]

["TO-MORROW THE ORDER WILL BE GIVEN TO THE CAPTAIN OF THE GUARD TO ARREST YOU"]

[I TOLD HIM VERY SHORTLY, AND NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I SEEN SO PITEOUS A SPECTACLE AS THAT LITTLE ROUND RUBICUND MAN]

[I FOUND SIR WALTER IN HIS GARDEN]
