"What country do you come from?" I asked her suddenly. She smiled when I spoke, but shook her head. "Francais?" I asked. "Deutsch?" "Espagnol?" each time she shook her head, and then she rippled off into a long statement in some tongue of which I could not understand one word. After breakfast was over, however, I got a clue to her nationality.
Deh vieni alla finestra! sings Palmy-Leporello; the chorus answers: Deh vieni! Perchè non vieni ancora? pleads Leporello; the chorus shouts: Perchè? Mio amu-u-u-r, sighs Leporello; and Echo cries, amu-u-u-r! All the wooing, be it noticed, is conducted in Italian. But the actors murmur to each other in Davoser Deutsch, 'She won't come, Palmy! It is far too late; she is gone to bed.
What is wanting, my child? said Gyda. 'Come seeking medicine for the mind or body? said Rollo. But after a second glance he rose up, went to the girl and offered a chair. She looked at him without seeming to know his meaning. 'Speak Deutsch, Olaf, said Gyda; 'and ye'll get better hearing. She can't speak yon. A few words in German made a change.
The fact of his being a Turk, whom the Persians consider far less holy than themselves, Abdul explains, accounts for the attack on him as much as anything else.

"What does he mean?" asked Marjorie, staring blankly at her brother. "I don't know," confessed Dick. "I beg your pardon," he went on, addressing the Walrus, "but I didn't quite hear what you said."

Frigga when worshipped alone was both female and male. This man begat three sons who became the fathers of the three Deutsch tribes.
A little doctor in the Deutsch hills, who once prescribed for the clock-mender, reported that his pulse had a metallic beat, and, looking suddenly up, he saw, where Minuit's face had been, a round clock face looking down and ticking at him. This doctor was a worthless fellow, however, and loose of tongue.
When he refused to see the story in the little German bakery sign I began to argue. "But man alive, this is America! I think I know a story when I see it. Suppose you were traveling in Germany, and should come across a sign over a shop, saying: 'Hier wird Deutsch gesprochen. Wouldn't you think you were dreaming?" Norberg waved an explanatory hand.
