FREI.

Another fellow neither, I tell you. Over yonder the honest people set fire to the castle and plundered it; several people lost their lives in the affair; nobody cares a fig. Lucky he who now has an old grudge. And Ulrich need not run far. Godfrey is reeling around there in the Dell; he's lost his hat—

LINDENSCHMIED (puts his hands with convulsive haste into his pockets).

And nothing—absolutely nothing—not even a blunt knife about me!

SCENE III

The same. Enter ANDREW.

[Wraps the muffler around the lock of the gun, and puts the gun next to him against the wall.]
