“I’m caught in my own forest-land,” retorted Ulrich. “When my men come to release us you will wish, perhaps, that you were in a better plight than caught poaching on a neighbour’s land, shame on you.”
Georg was silent for a moment; then he answered quietly:

Your men will find you dead under a fallen beech tree. For form’s sake I shall send my condolences to your family.”
