Minna is inordinately fond of dress, and her remarks anent my own garments are apt to be a trifle disconcerting, especially when she intersperses her recital of dinner dishes with admiring adjectives directed at my blouse or hat. Thus: "Wir haben roast beef, und spareribs mit Sauerkraut, und schicken ach, wie schon, Frau Orme! Aber ganz prachtvoll!" Her eyes and hands are raised toward heaven.

Desto besser, besser desto!" Lady Wallace has made a translation which reproduces well the nonsense if not literally the sense.

Presently three young ladies appeared. They were his sisters, blue eyed, fair haired, white skinned, round sterned, plump little partridges. "Haben sie gefruhstucht?" said the eldest.
