Because

you

are

the

very

man

to

conspire

again

.

You

learned

people

have

dealings

with

the

devil

.

"

"

Nonsense

,

Master

Gryphus

.

Are

you

dissatisfied

with

the

manner

in

which

I

have

set

your

arm

,

or

with

the

price

that

I

asked

you

?

"

said

Cornelius

,

laughing

.

"

On

the

contrary

,

"

growled

the

jailer

,

"

you

have

set

it

only

too

well

.

There

is

some

witchcraft

in

this

.

After

six

weeks

,

I

was

able

to

use

it

as

if

nothing

had

happened

,

so

much

so

,

that

the

doctor

of

the

Buytenhof

,

who

knows

his

trade

well

,

wanted

to

break

it

again

,

to

set

it

in

the

regular

way

,

and

promised

me

that

I

should

have

my

blessed

three

months

for

my

money

before

I

should

be

able

to

move

it

.

And

you

did

not

want

that

?

"

"

I

said

,

'

Nay

,

as

long

as

I

can

make

the

sign

of

the

cross

with

that

arm

'

(

Gryphus

was

a

Roman

Catholic

)

,

'

I

laugh

at

the

devil

.

"'

"

But

if

you

laugh

at

the

devil

,

Master

Gryphus

,

you

ought

with

so

much

more

reason

to

laugh

at

learned

people

.

"

"

Ah

,

learned

people

,

learned

people

!

Why

,

I

would

rather

have

to

guard

ten

soldiers

than

one

scholar

.

The

soldiers

smoke

,

guzzle

,

and

get

drunk

;

they

are

gentle

as

lambs

if

you

only

give

them

brandy

or

Moselle

,

but

scholars

,

and

drink

,

smoke

,

and

fuddle

--

ah

,

yes

,

that

's

altogether

different

.

They

keep

sober

,

spend

nothing

,

and

have

their

heads

always

clear

to

make

conspiracies

.

But

I

tell

you

,

at

the

very

outset

,

it

wo

n't

be

such

an

easy

matter

for

you

to

conspire

.

First

of

all

,

you

will

have

no

books

,

no

paper

,

and

no

conjuring

book

.

It

's

books

that

helped

Mynheer

Grotius

to

get

off

.

"

"

I

assure

you

,

Master

Gryphus

,

"

replied

Van

Baerle

,

"

that

if

I

have

entertained

the

idea

of

escaping

,

I

most

decidedly

have

it

no

longer

.

"

"

Well

,

well

,

"

said

Gryphus

,

"

just

look

sharp

:

that

's

what

I

shall

do

also

.

But

,

for

all

that

,

I

say

his

Highness

has

made

a

great

mistake

.
