Good-bye, Passil, my tear poy. Auf wiedersehen!" March went away thinking of what Lindau had said, but not for the impersonal significance of his words so much as for the light they cast upon Lindau himself.

Ueber seine Kampfmethode haben gefangene französische Flieger berichtet: Entweder liess er, als Geschwaderführer fliegend, seine Kameraden zuerst angreifen un stürzle sich dann erst auf den schwächsten Gegner; oder er flog stundenlang in grössten Höhe, allein hinter der französischen Front und stürzte sich von oben herab überraschend auf einzeln fliegende deutsche Beobachtungsflugzeuge.
Such differences in colour can hardly be accounted for by the males being defenceless and thus requiring protection, whilst the females are well defended by their stings. 'Anwendung der Darwinschen Lehre auf Bienen, Verh. d. n. That bees have a keen perception of colour is certain.
"Da ist's auf einmal farbig helle, Geschicht' und Zierath glaenzt in Schnelle." With the same feeling he says elsewhere in prose, that "there is a destructive criticism and a productive.

When Vail said auf wiedersehen to the telephone business, it had passed from infancy to childhood. It was well shaped but not fully grown.
And the battered bags and the down-at-the-heel walking sticks and the still-damp steamer rugs and the trunks creaking down the hallway and the rattle of the "L" trains fade out of my eyes and ears and again dear little Hulda is with me under the Linden trees poor dear little Hulda who ever in the years to come shall bring back to me the starlit romance of youth and again I feel her so soft hand in mine and again I hear her whisper the auf wiederseh'n that was to be our last good-bye and I am three thousand miles over the seas.
Let us rather be glad, for Leonora is possessed of a brave heart, and has done her duty toward her country and her old invalid father. Let us, therefore, be glad, and sing!"
