When they got to Paris, Anton promised to provide the children with both cheap and comfortable lodgings. He had quite determined not to lose sight of them until his object was accomplished.

I am going to baptise you, Ahlmann; I give you back your name." "Anton, Anton! Why not sit down calmly and talk it over?" pleaded Stanton.
