"Let me down, Uncle Joe," she said, "I want to give some of my candy to that nice little boy I found." She walked graciously over to Emil, followed by her lusty admirers, who formed a new circle and teased the little boy until he hid his face in his sister's skirts, and she had to scold him for being such a baby. The farm people were making preparations to start for home.
I've had a pretty lonely life, Emil. Besides Marie, Carl is the only friend I have ever had." Emil was awake now; a name in her last sentence roused him. He put out his hand and took his sister's awkwardly. "You ought to do just as you wish, and I think Carl's a fine fellow. He and I would always get on. I don't believe any of the things the boys say about him, honest I don't.
Then I went ahead and built this house. I really built it for Emil. I want you to see Emil, Carl. He is so different from the rest of us!" "How different?" "Oh, you'll see! I'm sure it was to have sons like Emil, and to give them a chance, that father left the old country.
By thunder, I'd just like to see you do it now!" said Ned, collaring Emil in a fit of righteous wrath. "It was ever so long ago. I'd rather have my head cut off than do it now," and Emil mildly laid Ned on his back instead of cuffing him, as he would have felt it his duty to do on any less solemn occasion.

He found the will and insurance policy had been left with Major Murphy; but Major Murphy, accustomed to running affairs in his own way, refused to give up the Emil Fritz will, and forced McSween to get a court order appointing Mrs. Scholland administratrix of the Fritz estate.
She wished that someone was sitting beside her now, his arm pressed against hers she would fain have felt once more that sensation that had thrilled her on that occasion when she had stood with Emil on the bank of the Wien, and when she had almost been on the point of losing her senses and had yearned for a child.... Ah, why was she so poor, so lonely, so much in obscurity?
When I come back, I want to know just where he is located, and all about him; who his friends are, and so on. There is more where this came from." "I understand," smoothly answered Emil, pocketing the bills with a grin. In the meantime Ferris had scribbled a few words on a card. He stopped the carriage. "Jump out and take a coupe, and get instantly down to Wall and Broad. You'll find Mr.
Then suddenly Emil became once more an animated and hungry monkey with no care but for his food. "There," said Dave. "I ask you, isn't that the way we do? Don't we stop to think sometimes and get way down, and then don't we feel hungry and forget it all and go to eating?" "Sure, Emil is sensible just like us," said Minna. "But there's some catch about the whole thing," said Dave.
But in the pharmacy Einstein hazarded a test question. "Where's the old man, Ben?" "Took one of the cheap Saturday afternoon boats from Hoboken for the other side," said Ben, handing Miss Daisy Vivian a "slight refreshment." "Go alone?" said the curious Emil. "Certainly," smartly said Timmins. "He is too mean to pay a woman's passage over the ferry, much less to the Old Country!"
But, you must have Jack carefully watch over that boy out in the West. Young Emil needs a firm hand, and only Witherspoon can hold him down to usefulness."
