" But he was silent, he bent his long back, took the pitcher from the floor, and gave it to me. I perceived, as I took it, tliat ho trem- bled, and attributing this trembling to his old age, a mixture of pity and respect tempered my pride.
" How old arc you ? " said I, in a kind tone.
" Seventy-four, Sir. I have in times past seen many misfortunes of my own and of others. " 216 MY PRISONS.
While alluding to his own misfortunes and those of others, he again trembled as he took back the pitcher ;... and I suspected that it was the effect, not merely of old age, but of some gen- erous emotion ; and the thought removed from my mind the dislike, which his first appearance had excited.
"What is your name ? " said I.
"A freak of fortune. Sir, has given me the name of a great man. I am called Schiller. " Then in a few words he told me his coun- try, and his origin, what wars he had been in, and what wounds he had received.
He was a Swiss, of a peasant's family ; he had fought against the Turks under General Laudon in the time of Maria Theresa and of Joseph the Second, and afterward in all the wars of Austria against France, until the fall of Napoleon.
