roadside. The Duke of Holstein sug-
gested to the king that the company
try their skill by riding over the pile
on their horses. Charles assented and
insisted upon being the first to go over.

spurs into his horse. tells Das Buch fur

what you will. my king shall not do it. +"

Duke of Holsteln. But will you kindly
recall that you are addressing Count
