"I believe Rendezvous sweats in vain. I can't believe in that war. It has held off for forty years. It may hold off forever." He nodded his head towards the German tutor, who had come into view across the lawn, talking profoundly with Mr. Britling's eldest son. "Look at that pleasant person. There he is Echt Deutsch if anything ever was. Look at my son there!
"How much have I now?" asked Leopold, in plain English, forgetting for the time all the rest of the German he knew. "Sprechen Deutsch!" exclaimed the watch-maker. "I don't remember any more German," laughed the young man. "How much money have I now?" Herr Schlager opened the iron safe and placed in one of its draws the sum just given him by his nephew, and took therefrom a slip of paper.
A little further evidence can be drawn from other Mesopotamian sites. The city of Asshur had a long, broad avenue like the sacred road of Babylon, but the one insula of its private houses which has yet been excavated, planned and published, shows no sign of rectangular planning. Mitt, deutsch. Orient-Gesell. 28, Sept. 1905; 31, May 1906. F. Delitzsch, Asurbanipal und die assyr.
Putnam's companion paused with an expression of pity before one of these uncouth sepulchres, a little heap of turf which covered the body of a "span-long babe." "Now, isn't that echt Deutsch?" began Putnam, whom the gods had made mad. "Is that glass affair let into the tombstone a looking-glass or a portrait of the deceased like that 'statoot of a deceased infant' that Holmes tells about?

A history of the development of aviation in France in these, the strenuous years, would fill volumes in itself.
The Christian missionaries therefore called the German language the "lingua theotisca" or the "lingua teutisca," the "popular dialect" and this word "teutisca" was changed into "Deutsch" which accounts for the name "Deutschland." The Pope, once more sorely beset by his enemies, sent north for help. He did not appeal to the ruler of the west-Frankish kingdom, this time.

"Sie sprechen Deutsch!" I exclaimed in astonishment. "Ja, ich kann nicht anders um so mehr schade!" he replied mournfully. He was an Alsatian "volunteer," he explained, having deserted for the French side at an opportune moment. It was odd to hear him declaiming against the Germans in their own language. It is a way the Alsatians have. Treitschke once lamented the fact.
After leaving Fischamend we passed in succession Regelsbrunn, Deutsch Altenburg, and Hainburg, near the former of which the attention is arrested by what may easily be mistaken for the ruins of a city.
