Krauss, great heavy man that he was, was now trembling so violently that he was obliged to lean against the wall for support, and, pointing to the bed, he said: "I had not the slightest suspicion Gott bewahre, I had not.

She flushed suddenly, and started away from him, as if to put the piano between them and flee towards the door. He looked at her narrowly, and the harsh lines came back to his face. "A pest on these singers!" he muttered under his breath, "They are all alike they want coddling. She thinks perhaps she is a Patti and is planning for her salary already. Potztausend! Bewahre!"

The bird that was poor too, shrill and cheap! Die Neumann, who was she? Someone out of the chorus perhaps.
Beside him lay a violin. "You are nervous to-night, Velasco?" "I am always nervous." "What shall we eat and drink?" "Donnerwetter what you please! If I eat, I cannot play. Bring me some of that Rhine wine, Fräulein, the white in the slanting bottles, and a plate of Pretzeln. No beer bewahre!"
Bewahre! Bertha!" shouted Clara. "Stay only here! Stay only here!" "Nein, Bertha, nein, mein Kind," moaned Fraulein sadly.

You have put 'Siegfried' off twice now because you had no bird. Let me try to-day." The Kapellmeister frowned. Her form was like a lily swaying against the trunk of an oak. "Tschut " he said, "Bewahre! Marta, go down and bring up her soup.
Very rich!" he laughed. "I know dem; not as friends, Gott bewahre! but I know dem and their affairs." "What are you driving at? Let's have it. Out with it, man."

He, like Baron Nopesa, believed it to be a case of "Now or never!" Austria must fight. If she waited a few years the Slav combine would be too strong. "We have the whole of the German army with us," said the officer, "and you could do nothing to stop us."
