Note 17 — Chapter II
Reading edition
Henry Döring has a ballad on this subject, entitled, “Die Zeugen,” (the Witnesses.) Vide ‘Ruinen oder Taschenbüch zür Geschicte verfalener Ritterburgen und Schlosser, etc. Wien, 1826. 1 Sammlung.’ One might be pardoned for supposing the proverb of “Walls have ears,” to have arisen from this adventure.
