[Footnote 1: As with Carl Brandenburg, on the Market Place. He had a
daughter Christina, who was of a proud mind, but very fair. When Master
Max's first wife died he straightway asked to have Christina in
marriage, but she would not, and her father humoured her, albeit he was
afraid. And at once Carl was charged of dealing in contraband wares,
then for giving false weights and measures, and at last for having
scoffed at God. From this last Death freed him. Then came his son home
from France, and he was sent to serve as a soldier, and no man ever
heard more of him. At the time those in Authority first made indictment
against Carl Brandenburg, he was the richest man in the Town, but when
he died his daughter had only what might allow her to dwell at the
house of a peasant, and there she still abides. Many such things
happened, so that none dare go against his will.]
[Footnote 2: Miss.]
