As
this
deliberation
was
a
most
serious
affair
,
it
lasted
a
full
half-hour
,
during
which
the
prisoner
was
remanded
to
his
cell
.
There
the
Recorder
of
the
States
came
to
read
the
sentence
to
him
.
Master
Gryphus
was
detained
in
bed
by
the
fever
caused
by
the
fracture
of
his
arm
.
His
keys
passed
into
the
hands
of
one
of
his
assistants
.
Behind
this
turnkey
,
who
introduced
the
Recorder
,
Rosa
,
the
fair
Frisian
maid
,
had
slipped
into
the
recess
of
the
door
,
with
a
handkerchief
to
her
mouth
to
stifle
her
sobs
.
Cornelius
listened
to
the
sentence
with
an
expression
rather
of
surprise
than
sadness
.
After
the
sentence
was
read
,
the
Recorder
asked
him
whether
he
had
anything
to
answer
.
"
Indeed
,
I
have
not
,
"
he
replied
.
"
Only
I
confess
that
,
among
all
the
causes
of
death
against
which
a
cautious
man
may
guard
,
I
should
never
have
supposed
this
to
be
comprised
.
"
On
this
answer
,
the
Recorder
saluted
Van
Baerle
with
all
that
consideration
which
such
functionaries
generally
bestow
upon
great
criminals
of
every
sort
.
But
whilst
he
was
about
to
withdraw
,
Cornelius
asked
,
"
By
the
bye
,
Mr.
Recorder
,
what
day
is
the
thing
--
you
know
what
I
mean
--
to
take
place
?
"
"
Why
,
to-day
,
"
answered
the
Recorder
,
a
little
surprised
by
the
self-possession
of
the
condemned
man
.
