text_original: A messenger sent by the stranger presented himself at the mayor's office to get his pass  port signed, and the mayor noticed upon the green seal HANS OF ICELAND. 167 two crossed hands supporting an ermine mantle, sur  mounted by a count's coronet upon a shield, from which depended the collars of the Orders of the Elephant and the Danuebrog. This was enough for the mayor, who was most desirous of obtaining from the chancellor the lord mayoralty of Throndhjem. But his advances were useless, for the great man would see no one.
