Merrick had lately retired from active business and come East to seek any relatives that might remain to him after forty years' absence. His sister Jane had gathered around her three nieces Louise Merrick, Elizabeth De Graf and Patricia Doyle and when Aunt Jane died Uncle John adopted these three girls and made their happiness the one care of his jolly, unselfish life.
"No," I snapped. "I don't." And I drummed with my fingers on the windowpane and felt as rebellious as six years old. But of course I'm going to be good. I won't do anything that may delay my getting home to you. The Bornsteds say Koseritz is a very beautiful place, on the very edge of the Haff. They talk with deep respectfulness of the Herr Graf, and the Frau Grafin, and the junge Komtesse.
One of the young women was very tall, with a slim dashing figure, fine fair hair, keen cold gray eyes, a haughty nostril and upper lip: a beauty of the patrician American type. The other was shorter but also excessively thin, with dark dancing eyes, a warm color, a coquettish nose and pouting lips which somehow invoked the complacent visage of the late Herr Graf Niebuhr and a brilliant smile.
Again: "It would have been to the interest of all Europe rightly understood to restore Poland. This matter may be regarded as the most important of all. None other could touch so nearly the policy of all the Powers represented," wrote the Bavarian Premier, Graf von Montgelas, just as the Entente press was writing in the year 1919.
Merrick, my good friend and benefactor; and this is Major Doyle and his daughter Miss Patricia Doyle, both of whom have the kindest hearts in the world; Miss Beth De Graf, Mr. Merrick's niece, has watched over and cared for me like a sister, and oh, I forgot; Miss Patsy is Mr. Merrick's niece, too. So now you know them all." The man nodded briefly his acknowledgment. "You you are Mr.
"It seems," said Christina, "that, on the return from Carinthia, the Kaisar expressed his intention of slipping away from his army in his own strange fashion, and himself inquiring into the matter of the Ford. So he took with him his own personal followers, the new Graf von Schlangenwald, Herr Kasimir, and Master Schleiermacher. The others he sent to Schlangenwald; he himself lodged at St.
Now their contention may be substantially correct; but their method of contending is scientifically wrong. To accept, where verification is necessary, the unverified statement of any man is wrong. And, that is the case here. Elster's note is of peculiar interest. He says: "Heine schloss sich am nächsten an die Bearbeitung eines Stoffs an, die ein Graf Löben 1821 veröffentlichte."
"Allow me, Inspector," went on the colonel, "to introduce to you the Countess Sophie de Graf, late of Berlin, late of Delhi and Rangoon, now of 17 Leitrim Grove, Battersea Park Road." The woman faced Bray; and there was a terrified, hunted look in her eyes. "You are the inspector?" she asked. "I am," said Bray. "And a man I can see that," she went on, her flashing angrily at Hughes.
Without it two weeks a month, perhaps!" he shrugged, helplessly. "You understand, it is medullary: the most rapid, the most malignant variety of all. It is not a case that promises credit to us. Therefore, if the Herr Graf would wish to try another physician, I should be glad that it were so. I would resign the case willingly; for this disease gives little satisfaction to us who love our work."
And then there are my pupils I've got a Russian prince among them, and a very near neighbor, a young nobleman from the Marches, an officer in the Red Hussars. Now don't be a slow coach, come along." "You are very kind, but I should be very sorry to make your gouty Graf jump, even for joy." "Dr. Enyhardt is quite right," Malvine now joined in.
