The town is very proud of its splendid castle, where Wallen- stein once stayed for a short time. The citizens are slow of speech, and combine innate principles with spy-glasses, especially in the side-streets. With the aid of these cunningly contrived mirrors they see while sitting at their windows what is going on in the street, so that it is hard for anything to 'happen without the whole town knowing it.
