| Mathias, the owner of an inn and mill in a village in Alsatia, is eager to become the local burgomaster. |
| Ten days later, I arrived with my trucks, while, back in Bevensen, a group of citizens chosen by the burgomaster were putting the final touches to the place of entertainment. |
| That afternoon when the burgomaster chanced to look out the window he saw a man stretching a fishnet across the dusty road. |
| The burgomaster wore an air of sternness and self-importance which boded no good. |
| Saskia Van Uylenburgh was the daughter of an impoverished though respected burgomaster and Rembrandt drew and painted her over and over again. |
| The burgomaster immediately ordered his servant to go into the village to buy some. |
