NOTES
TO THE
ENCHANTED KNIGHTS.
NOTE 1.
↑ Runners and Heiduques. Heiduques were Hungarian and Sclavonian servants, dressed in the costume of their country. In some of the great houses of Germany, where a vestige of feudal manners yet exists, they may still be found, as well as runners, who, as the name implies, run before their master’s carriages.
NOTE 2.
↑ Honey, as the reader may know, is a dainty with the bear.
NOTE 3.
↑ To redeem the bride. It was customary, in ancient Germany, for the bridegroom to appear in person at the residence of his intended, to make a present to his future father-in-law, and bear away the bride.
