  6  3,3|           shall watch over you." ~Gryphus followed his daughter, and
  7  9,1|     people ran very high, and had Gryphus fallen into the hands of
  8  9,1|         going on at the Tol-Hek? ~Gryphus came forth trembling behind

 13  9,1|      already acquainted with it. ~Gryphus pointed with his finger
 14  9,2|  violently and continuously, that Gryphus, with his huge bunch of

 17  9,2|       judged by the people," said Gryphus; "you call that murdered,

 25 10,1|         still more." ~"You!" said Gryphus, "are you a medical man?" ~"
 26 10,1|          Do you hear, Rosa?" said Gryphus, "the prisoner is going

 28 10,2|       there together about?" said Gryphus, rising and supporting his
 29 11,2|          sentence to him. ~Master Gryphus was detained in bed by the

 31 11,3|          bequeath, I say, to Rosa Gryphus three bulbs, which I am

 37 15,1|            Well, my master," said Gryphus, holding up his lantern

 39 15,1|         Mynheer van Baerle," said Gryphus. "That's you; well, I declare,
 40 15,1|       pleasure to me, good Master Gryphus, to see that your arm is
 41 15,1|           your lantern with it." ~Gryphus knitted his brow. "Now,
 42 15,1|        devil." ~"Nonsense, Master Gryphus. Are you dissatisfied with
 43 15,1|         the cross with that arm' (Gryphus was a Roman Catholic), '
 44 15,1|        laugh at the devil, Master Gryphus, you ought with so much
 45 15,1|              I assure you, Master Gryphus," replied Van Baerle, "that
 46 15,1|      longer." ~"Well, well," said Gryphus, "just look sharp: that'
 47 15,1|           head? thank you, Master Gryphus." ~"Just so, look whether
 48 15,1|          what you say now, Master Gryphus," cried Van Baerle, turning
 49 15,1|      little to me, my good Master Gryphus. I do not quite understand
 50 15,1|           for the promise, Master Gryphus." ~And whilst the prisoner

 52 15,1|         has one from here?" asked Gryphus. ~"Why, a very fine and
 53 15,1|       Halloa! what's this?" cried Gryphus. ~"My pigeons," answered
 54 15,1|           rules already," replied Gryphus. "Pigeons! ah, young man,
 55 15,1|         should catch them, Master Gryphus. You won't allow these pigeons
 56 15,2|         this ill-natured promise, Gryphus put his head out of the
 57 15,2|           o'clock this evening." ~Gryphus, quite taken up with the
 58 15,2|           had before experienced, Gryphus watched his prisoners, -
 59 16,1|               1~The worthy Master Gryphus, as the reader may have
 60 17,2|             that cannot be Master Gryphus, he is always heard at a
 61 17,2|          any remarkable incident. Gryphus made his three visits, and
 62 17,2|           crannies of the walls. ~Gryphus suspected nothing, and the
 63 17,2|          forth, had not heard old Gryphus coming upstairs as a gale
 64 17,2|        the door suddenly opened. ~Gryphus, perceiving an unknown and
 65 17,2|       this." ~"Oh, my good Master Gryphus," said Van Baerle, imploringly,
 66 17,2|          by the reaper. ~In fact, Gryphus was beginning to dig the
 67 17,2|         you will crush it, Master Gryphus." ~And with a rapid and
 68 17,2|         the jug from the hands of Gryphus, and hid it like a treasure
 69 17,2|     treasure under his arms. ~But Gryphus, obstinate, like an old
 70 17,2|                 Let go," repeated Gryphus, stamping his foot, "let
 71 17,2|     flower except with my life." ~Gryphus, exasperated, plunged his
 72 17,2|         of its precious contents, Gryphus hurled the softened bulb
 73 17,2|           of the ferocious joy of Gryphus, uttered a cry of agony,
 74 17,2|           on the bald head of old Gryphus. ~But a cry stopped him;
 75 17,2|           father and her friend. ~Gryphus then understood the danger
 76 17,2|          all, it is but a tulip," Gryphus resumed, as he began to
 77 17,2|       just destroyed." ~"Oh, so!" Gryphus said, in a tone of triumph; "
 78 17,2|           as it is now," repeated Gryphus, growing warm; "I have destroyed
 79 18,1|         from the staircase asking Gryphus how matters were going on. ~"
 80 18,1|           was such a noise," said Gryphus; "wouldn't you have thought
 81 19,1|           heard the heavy step of Gryphus in the lobby, but this step
 82 19,1|    Cornelius did not even look at Gryphus. ~ ~
 83 19,2|         selfish hope to hear from Gryphus that his daughter was ill. ~
 84 19,2|            At the second visit of Gryphus, Cornelius, contrary to
 85 19,2|      voice, about her health; but Gryphus contented himself with giving
 86 19,2|        the nose of the prisoner. ~Gryphus, being little used to this
 87 19,2|     despair. On the following day Gryphus appeared to him even more
 88 19,2|           he would have strangled Gryphus, but would not this have
 89 19,2|        his love. ~In the evening, Gryphus took away the breakfast
 90 19,2|        not touch them at all, and Gryphus carried the dishes away
 91 19,2|          whole day. ~"Well," said Gryphus, coming down from the last

 94 21,1|       morning?" asked Cornelius. ~Gryphus looked at him with a scowl. ~"
 95 21,1|            and our pretty Rosa?" ~Gryphus ground his teeth, saying. - ~"
 96 21,1|        are hungry, are you?" said Gryphus. ~"And why not?" asked Van
 97 21,1|        seems to thrive," remarked Gryphus. ~"What conspiracy?" ~"Very
 98 21,1|          Be on your guard, friend Gryphus; be on your guard as long
 99 21,1|           at noon." ~Saying this, Gryphus went out. ~"At noon?" repeated
100 21,1|   staircase not only the steps of Gryphus, but also those of three
101 21,1|       with him. ~The door opened. Gryphus entered, led his men in,
102 21,1|        sucker under his own care. Gryphus would have been sure to
103 21,1|         his cell than Cornelius. ~Gryphus retired with the pencil
104 21,1|           the expedition. ~At six Gryphus came back again, but alone;
105 21,1|      tried to propitiate him, but Gryphus growled, showed a large
106 21,1|      burst out laughing, to which Gryphus answered through the grating, - ~"
107 22,2|           daughter of the jailer, Gryphus, almost as much of a captive
108 22,2|       your humble servant, ~"Rosa Gryphus. ~"That's it, dear Rosa,
109 23,1|            gain the friendship of Gryphus, which for several months

111 23,1|         by the rage of Jacob when Gryphus crushed the first bulb.
112 23,2|          presented himself before Gryphus with a double supply of
113 23,2|           bottle in each pocket. ~Gryphus being once fuddled, Boxtel
114 23,2|         house. ~At eleven o'clock Gryphus was dead drunk. At two in
115 24,2|          shall kill that infamous Gryphus?" roared Cornelius. "I tell
116 24,2|         My father!" cried Rosa. ~"Gryphus!" roared Van Baerle. "Oh,
117 24,2|            Oh, you villain!" ~Old Gryphus, in the midst of all the
118 24,2|          hands in despair. ~"Ah!" Gryphus continued, passing from
119 24,2|        having informed his friend Gryphus of his sudden departure. ~
120 25,1|   separation became inevitable, - Gryphus having at the same time
121 25,1|       than eight leagues, and yet Gryphus had not the least suspicion
122 25,1|          prisoner alone was where Gryphus thought him to be. ~Rosa
123 25,1|           he opened the door, but Gryphus no more found Rosa than
124 25,1|           she entered Rotterdam. ~Gryphus therefore had just as little
125 25,1|      saying where she was going. ~Gryphus again went up in his fury
126 25,1|          Rosa in every direction, Gryphus looked out for Jacob, and,
127 25,2|          announced simply as Rosa Gryphus; but as her name, well as
128 26,2|          described the cruelty of Gryphus; the destruction of the
129 26,2|           months since the jailer Gryphus and his daughter were removed
130 27,1|           the acquaintance of old Gryphus, and, falling in love with
131 28,1|          suffered at the hands of Gryphus all that a prisoner can
132 28,1|     playing the part of hangman. ~Gryphus, not having received any
133 28,1|      malignity in the eyes of old Gryphus to expect that his vigilance
134 28,1|       Hague to be beforehand with Gryphus, who, he had no doubt, would
135 28,1|          But how should he write? Gryphus had taken the paper and
136 28,1|            he could hardly expect Gryphus to despatch his letter. ~
137 28,1|          better so. Some fine day Gryphus will commit some atrocity.
138 28,1|    Undoubtedly, some day or other Gryphus will attack me in a manner
139 28,1|           Rosa, - but, oh Heaven, Gryphus is her father! Whatever
140 28,1|    wretched turnkey who has found Gryphus with the death-rattle in
141 28,1|           And at that very moment Gryphus entered. ~He held in his
142 28,2|                                 2~Gryphus, therefore, on seeing that
143 28,2|         sweet melody, exasperated Gryphus. ~He struck his stick on
144 28,2|         of me, I believe," roared Gryphus. ~Cornelius continued: - ~"
145 28,2|         is to say, our perfume." ~Gryphus went up to the prisoner
146 28,2|           you mad, my dear Master Gryphus?" asked Cornelius. ~And,
147 28,2|        than mad, he is furious." ~Gryphus flourished his stick above
148 28,2|  intention to threaten me, Master Gryphus." ~"Yes, indeed, I threaten
149 28,2|        Yes, who lays hands," said Gryphus, mad with rage, "but there
150 28,2|         thrashed by the stick.'" ~Gryphus, growing more and more exasperated
151 28,2|        put it under his own arm. ~Gryphus fairly bellowed with rage. ~"
152 28,2|          pinch you worse," roared Gryphus. ~"I wish you may." ~"Don'
153 28,2|           Well, tell it me," said Gryphus. ~"Very willingly. I know
154 28,2|         that puts you in a rage. ~Gryphus answered with a growl. ~"
155 28,2|       Well, well, well," answered Gryphus. "But if a sorcerer can
156 28,2|           pale. ~"And," continued Gryphus, "we'll begin this very
157 28,2|      death inspired him. ~"Well," Gryphus went on, in his jeering
158 28,2|         from Dort?" ~"Well?" said Gryphus. ~"Well, a pigeon is a very
159 28,2|         how about the fire?" said Gryphus. ~"Fire! but you know that
160 28,2|        the Meuse come up to me." ~Gryphus opened his large eyes, quite
161 28,2|        regale myself with fish." ~Gryphus nearly fainted with anger
162 29,1| Loewestein, Settles Accounts With Gryphus. ~The two remained silent
163 29,1|          silent for some minutes, Gryphus on the offensive, and Van
164 29,1|        you what I want," answered Gryphus; "I want you to restore
165 29,1|         is?" ~And the attitude of Gryphus became more and more threatening. ~"
166 29,1|         wait, only wait," growled Gryphus, white with rage, and with
167 29,1|          daughter." ~Saying this, Gryphus in his frenzy rushed towards
168 29,1|          the first thrust; but as Gryphus continued, with horrid threats,
169 29,1|         his foot on it. ~Then, as Gryphus seemed bent upon engaging
170 29,1|            It was not long before Gryphus begged for mercy. But before
171 29,1|       Cornelius was disarmed, and Gryphus raised and supported; and,
172 29,1|        made on the depositions of Gryphus, it certainly could not

174 29,2|       journey of life, was to see Gryphus and not to see Rosa. What
175 29,2|       those of the daughter! ~How Gryphus would glory in his punishment!
176 29,2|         no sign either of Rosa or Gryphus. ~On reaching the Esplanade,
177 29,2|     almost shocked. ~All at once, Gryphus, limping, staggering, and
178 29,2|     villain, you brigand," roared Gryphus, clinching his fists at
