What
no
one
but
a
tulip-fancier
,
and
an
envious
tulip-fancier
,
could
have
discovered
,
--
the
existence
of
the
bulbs
and
the
endeavours
of
the
prisoner
,
--
jealousy
had
enabled
Boxtel
,
if
not
to
discover
,
at
least
to
guess
.
We
have
seen
him
,
more
successful
under
the
name
of
Jacob
than
under
that
of
Isaac
,
gain
the
friendship
of
Gryphus
,
which
for
several
months
he
cultivated
by
means
of
the
best
Genièvre
ever
distilled
from
the
Texel
to
Antwerp
,
and
he
lulled
the
suspicion
of
the
jealous
turnkey
by
holding
out
to
him
the
flattering
prospect
of
his
designing
to
marry
Rosa
.
Besides
thus
offering
a
bait
to
the
ambition
of
the
father
,
he
managed
,
at
the
same
time
,
to
interest
his
zeal
as
a
jailer
,
picturing
to
him
in
the
blackest
colours
the
learned
prisoner
whom
Gryphus
had
in
his
keeping
,
and
who
,
as
the
sham
Jacob
had
it
,
was
in
league
with
Satan
,
to
the
detriment
of
his
Highness
the
Prince
of
Orange
.
At
first
he
had
also
made
some
way
with
Rosa
;
not
,
indeed
,
in
her
affections
,
but
inasmuch
as
,
by
talking
to
her
of
marriage
and
of
love
,
he
had
evaded
all
the
suspicions
which
he
might
otherwise
have
excited
.
We
have
seen
how
his
imprudence
in
following
Rosa
into
the
garden
had
unmasked
him
in
the
eyes
of
the
young
damsel
,
and
how
the
instinctive
fears
of
Cornelius
had
put
the
two
lovers
on
their
guard
against
him
.
The
reader
will
remember
that
the
first
cause
of
uneasiness
was
given
to
the
prisoner
by
the
rage
of
Jacob
when
Gryphus
crushed
the
first
bulb
.
In
that
moment
Boxtel
's
exasperation
was
the
more
fierce
,
as
,
though
suspecting
that
Cornelius
possessed
a
second
bulb
,
he
by
no
means
felt
sure
of
it
.
From
that
moment
he
began
to
dodge
the
steps
of
Rosa
,
not
only
following
her
to
the
garden
,
but
also
to
the
lobbies
.
Only
as
this
time
he
followed
her
in
the
night
,
and
bare-footed
,
he
was
neither
seen
nor
heard
except
once
,
when
Rosa
thought
she
saw
something
like
a
shadow
on
the
staircase
.
Her
discovery
,
however
,
was
made
too
late
,
as
Boxtel
had
heard
from
the
mouth
of
the
prisoner
himself
that
a
second
bulb
existed
.
Taken
in
by
the
stratagem
of
Rosa
,
who
had
feigned
to
put
it
in
the
ground
,
and
entertaining
no
doubt
that
this
little
farce
had
been
played
in
order
to
force
him
to
betray
himself
,
he
redoubled
his
precaution
,
and
employed
every
means
suggested
by
his
crafty
nature
to
watch
the
others
without
being
watched
himself
.
