Class Story A band of robbers, riding down from the HIGHLANDS was startled by the BRAY of an ass. Despatching his men to investigate the disturbance, the leader sat impatiently on his (Varen) HORST listening absently to the morning song of the ROBBINS. Within a short time the WORTHY robbers brought before their captain a YOUNG (strom) man bestride a brindle-colored steed. The frightened RIDER was sternly questioned by the hostile chief. “AERT(s) thou beHOLDEN to ME(ad)? he asked. “Nay, I be but a poor man of ENGLISH blood from the north of FRANCE. My father was the (John)SON of a KING. I, the son of my father, have the name of Count SIMON DUDLEY of MEISENHEIMER. The FLOODS together with the GALES, which so but lately have devastated my estate, did so COUL(ier) the weather that a great FREES came upon the land making stiff even the GLOVE(r) of my most able laborer. For this reason, I did think it WURTH(ner) my while to journey here.” “What! Comest thou the LY(kens) upon me? shouted the outraged chieftain. “If I be not MARTIN STEVENS of HAMMARLE, I will fix thee to yonder POST(ema) and (De)PEELthe skin from off thy back. Come here, BLUNDELL, thou lazy knave, (Ri)DU(lis) you now ride to the small (Petti)GROVE beyond the (Van)BERG(en) of SLAGLE and make haste to tell that absent-minded fool of a KOKXcomb you will find there to fortify the WALS(worth) of our stronghold at REAMS, for a spy has come among us. CARTER DILLINGHAM, thou incompetent, bungling idiot, hast thou (Lam)BRIX in thy feet? FULL(er) well thou knowest that long since yonder crafty spy ought to have had his hands fast tied. Go to it; It be best we stop here by the River of the BEAMS till the morrow dawns. AMSTUTZ, HODGES, ALVESTEFFER, and SCHANER shall prepare the camp. And you, the rest of my noble bandits, gather about the wretch we have made captive. As the band obeyed their leader, the silent prisoner, though visibly frightened, lifted his head and prepared to speak. Please, oh illustrious sir, pardon my rashness; but I must speak and dispell from thy mind the faulty assumption that I be a spy. My father, CLARK AVERY, would shudder in his grave to see me here subject to the whim of a robber in the forest of KLUDY. “If thou shut not thy vile mouth, thy father shall see thee but not, I swear, in the forest of KLUDY; bellowed the enraged bandit. “By GRIGGS of EISENLOHR; the first chief of this band who stormed the town of GREINER, waking with a (Arm)STRONGblast of his HORN the tyrant BUCHNIUS, and killed (Mer)TEN of this province’s worst examples of manhood; I shall tear thy villainous tongue from out thy head; Quivering (Van)GlLLS of a catfish, WIL(helm) thou dare suggest that I will accept such insult? SMITH; TICKLE.’ VERSCHUEREN; VAVRINA: string the scoundrel up.’ 22
