Taking the two little osier baskets, laden with yellow and purple clusters, Casimer offered them, with a charming mixture of timidity and grace, to the girls, saying, like a grateful boy, "You give me kind words and good hopes; permit that I thank you in this poor way."
Can you will to see it?" and he laid a little pink cocked-hat note on her lap, looking like a mischievous boy as he did so. "'Mon Casimer Teblinski; I see no joke;" and Amy was about to tear it up, when he caught it from destruction, and holding it out of reach, said, laughing wickedly,
"Where is my brother?" "Gone away in a barouche and pair. Devil take me if I understand it." And the Captain proceeded to give a confused account of what had passed. "My brother! my brother! they have torn thee from me, then;" cried Philip, and he fell to the earth insensible. "Vous me rendrez mon frere!" CASIMER DELAVIGNE: Les Enfans d'Edouard.
Sitting on a fallen block of stone, while Casimer held a sun-umbrella over her, Amy had raptures at her ease; while Helen sketched and asked questions of Hoffman, who stood beside her, watching her progress with interest.

"Pardon; mademoiselle is keen, but in this she is mistaken. Casimer is not the baron; he did fight for Poland, and his name is known and honored there. Of this I solemnly assure you." She stood up and looked him straight in the face. He met her eye to eye, and never wavered till her own fell. She mused a few minutes, entirely forgetful of herself in her eagerness to solve the mystery.
Here the train stopped again, and Hoffman came to ask if the ladies desired anything. At the sound of his voice the young Pole started, looked up, and exclaimed, with the vivacity of a foreigner, in German, "By my life, it is Karl! Behold me, old friend, and satisfy me that it is thyself by a handshake." "Casimer!
She kept her eye on Casimer, with an intentness that worried Amy, and even when he was at the instrument Helen stood near him, as if fascinated, watching the slender hands chase one another up and down the keys with untiring strength and skill. Suddenly she left the room and did not return.

Casimer looked eager to defend his friend, and as the girls were longing to hear the romance, permission was given. "In Germany, you know, the young people are often betrothed in childhood by the parents, and sometimes never meet till they are grown.
