- There was a great feasting at the castle, that day. The four-and-twenty Lincoln greens of Von Koëldwethout exchanged vows
- of eternal friendship with twelve Lincoln greens of Von Swillenhausen, and promised the old baron that they would drink his wine
- "Till all was blue" - meaning probably until their whole countenances had acquired the same tint as their noses.
- Everybody slapped everybody else's back, when the time for parting came; and the Baron Von Koëldwethout and his followers rode gaily home.
- For six mortal weeks, the bears and boars had a holiday. The houses of Koëldwethout and Swillenhausen were united;
- the spears rusted; and the baron's bugle grew hoarse for lack of blowing.
