_WALLENSTEIN, COUNT TERTSKY._

_Wallenstein (to Tertsky)._ Who has been taken?--Who is given up?

_Tertsky._ The man who knows our secrets, who knows every Negotiation with the Swede and Saxon, Through whose hands all and every thing has passed--

_Wallenstein (drawing back)._ Nay, not Sesina?--Say, No! I entreat thee. 5

_Tertsky._ All on his road for Regenspurg to the Swede He was plunged down upon by Galas' agent, Who had been long in ambush, lurking for him. There must have been found on him my whole packet To Thur, to Kinsky, to Oxenstirn, to Arnheim: 10 All this is in their hands; they have now an insight Into the whole--our measures, and our motives.
