I wished to open it softly that the bell should not betray my coming, but Father Fromm was waiting for me. He was extremely angry: he stopped my way. "Discipulus negligens! Do you know 'quote hora? Decem. Every day to wander out of doors till after nine, hoc non pergit. Scio, scio, what you wish to say. You were at the P. C.'s. That is 'unum et idem' for me.
Marttha Stileman, about 10 fete fromm ye olde yue tre. Febevarie 6th, 1753." Mary Haygarthe, aged twentie sevene yeers, berrid under ye yue tree, Nov. 21, 1754." After copying these two entries, I went out into the churchyard to look for Mary Haygarth's grave.
They set her down first of all, and, when we were all seated; Father Fromm called to the cabman: "To the house of Bálnokházy!" He knew well that we must go there now. During the whole journey there we did not exchange a single word: what could those two have said to me?
He owned a fine four-storied house in the Fürsten allee, with his open shop in front on the sign of which peaceful lions were painted in gold holding rolls and cakes between their teeth. Mr. Fromm himself was waiting for us outside his shop door, and hastened to open the carriage door himself.
We know not, it is true, the conditions of our future life; we know not what it is to pass fromm this state of being to another; but before us in that dark passage has gone the Man of Nazareth, and the light of His footsteps lingers in the path. Where He, our Brother in His humanity, our Redeemer in His divine nature, has gone, let us not fear to follow.
And Father Fromm kept the conditions of the armistice, only verbally denouncing the boy as he wriggled out of his fortress; I did not understand what he said, I only gathered by his grimaces and gestures that he was annoyed over the matter by my presence. The morning was spent in visiting professors.
Mother Fromm was endowed with an inexhaustible store of that treasure called eloquence: and a sharp, strong voice, too, which forbade the interruption of any one else, with a flow like that of the purling stream.
Father Fromm, too, was waiting at the door, but could no longer run to meet his guests, for his left arm and leg were paralyzed: he leaned upon a long bony young man, who had spent much pains in trying to twist into a moustache by the aid of cunning unguents the few hairs on his upper lip, that would not under any circumstances consent to grow.
The innocence of the American girl is neither an affectation, nor a prejudiced fable, nor a piece of stupidity. The German woman, quoted by Mr. Bryce, found her American compeer furchtbar frei, but she had at once to add und furchtbar fromm. "The innocence of the American girl passes abysses of obscenity without stain or knowledge."
All kinds of things were brought onto the table, but I did not want anything. Father Fromm kept calling out continually in student guise "Comedi! Comedi!" a remark which called forth indignant remonstrances from mamma and grossmamma; how could he call his own dear "Kugelhuff" a "comedy!!!" Fanny in sooth required no coaxing.
