Chapter XVI
Silently the two Goths left the tent, and walked up and down, awaiting the result. From the tent they now and then heard Hildebrand's voice, who appeared to warn and argue with the King; and now and then an outcry from the latter. "What can the old man be thinking of?" asked Hildebad, stopping in his walk. "Dost thou not know?" "I guess," sighed Teja; "poor Witichis!"
