During
this
time
,
the
guards
who
had
seized
Cornelius
busied
themselves
in
charitably
informing
their
prisoner
of
the
usages
and
customs
of
Loewestein
,
which
however
he
knew
as
well
as
they
did
.
The
regulations
had
been
read
to
him
at
the
moment
of
his
entering
the
prison
,
and
certain
articles
in
them
remained
fixed
in
his
memory
.
Among
other
things
they
told
him
that
this
regulation
had
been
carried
out
to
its
full
extent
in
the
case
of
a
prisoner
named
Mathias
,
who
in
1668
,
that
is
to
say
,
five
years
before
,
had
committed
a
much
less
violent
act
of
rebellion
than
that
of
which
Cornelius
was
guilty
.
He
had
found
his
soup
too
hot
,
and
thrown
it
at
the
head
of
the
chief
turnkey
,
who
in
consequence
of
this
ablution
had
been
put
to
the
inconvenience
of
having
his
skin
come
off
as
he
wiped
his
face
.
Mathias
was
taken
within
twelve
hours
from
his
cell
,
then
led
to
the
jailer
's
lodge
,
where
he
was
registered
as
leaving
Loewestein
,
then
taken
to
the
Esplanade
,
from
which
there
is
a
very
fine
prospect
over
a
wide
expanse
of
country
.
There
they
fettered
his
hands
,
bandaged
his
eyes
,
and
let
him
say
his
prayers
.

Hereupon
he
was
invited
to
go
down
on
his
knees
,
and
the
guards
of
Loewestein
,
twelve
in
number
,
at
a
sign
from
a
sergeant
,
very
cleverly
lodged
a
musket-ball
each
in
his
body
.
In
consequence
of
this
proceeding
,
Mathias
incontinently
did
then
and
there
die
.
Cornelius
listened
with
the
greatest
attention
to
this
delightful
recital
,
and
then
said
,
--
"
Ah
!
ah
!
within
twelve
hours
,
you
say
?

"
Yes
,
the
twelfth
hour
had
not
even
struck
,
if
I
remember
right
,
"
said
the
guard
who
had
told
him
the
story
.
"
Thank
you
,
"
said
Cornelius
.
The
guard
still
had
the
smile
on
his
face
with
which
he
accompanied
and
as
it
were
accentuated
his
tale
,
when
footsteps
and
a
jingling
of
spurs
were
heard
ascending
the
stair-case
.
