O. T.

CHAPTER XII
3/6

The legend relates of robbers who had here deep passages underneath the high-road, where they hung bells which rang when any one passed above.

The inhabitants are still looked upon with suspicion.

Vissenberg appears a kind of Itri, between Copenhagen and Hamburg.

[Author's Note: "Itri," Fra Diavolo's birthplace, lies in the Neapolitan States, on the highway between Rome and Naples.

The inhabitants are not, without reason, suspected of carrying on the robber's trade.] Near the church there formerly lay a stone, on which Knud, the saint, is said to have rested himself when flying from the rebellious Jutlanders.
