Description
Art by Duy Truong. This is a key scene in the story of William Tell.
We followed the road to that led to his castle and then we spotted him. The rain had let up a bit and we could see that Ingrid had stopped him at a narrow pass called Hohle Gasse. "Get out of the way, peasant!" Gessler shouted and nearly ran her down.
Ingrid said, "You must know where to find my husband. You must help me!"
Gessler laid the whip to her and pushed her aside. William Tell dropped on one knee to the muddy cobblestone and set his crossbow. He muttered, "Gessler will not help ye, Ingrid. I will be the one. May the devil find his soul before the dawn." He loosed his arrow and it sailed straight and true into Gessler's heart. The dead man slumped upon his horse and then fell to the mud.
William Tell turned to me. He said. "The night is young. We have much to do."
