_Iden. _ None whatsoever.

_Fritz_. Are you sure of that?

_Iden. _ Certain. I have lived and served here since my birth,
And if there were such, must have heard of such,
Or seen it.

_Fritz_. Then it must be some one who
Had access to the antechamber.

_Iden. _ Doubtless.

_Fritz_. The man called _Werner's_ poor!

_Iden. _ Poor as a miser[171].
But lodged so far off, in the other wing, 20
By which there's no communication with
The baron's chamber, that it can't be he.
Besides, I bade him "good night" in the hall,
Almost a mile off, and which only leads
To his own apartment, about the same time
When this burglarious, larcenous felony
Appears to have been committed.

_Fritz_. There's another,
The stranger----

_Iden. _ The Hungarian?

_Fritz_. He who helped
To fish the baron from the Oder.

_Iden. _ Not
Unlikely. But, hold--might it not have been 30
One of the suite?

_Fritz_. How? _We_, sir!

_Iden. _ No--not _you_,
But some of the inferior knaves. You say
The Baron was asleep in the great chair--
The velvet chair--in his embroidered night-gown;
His toilet spread before him, and upon it
A cabinet with letters, papers, and
Several rouleaux of gold; of which _one_ only
Has disappeared:--the door unbolted, with
No difficult access to any.
