What girl at Springsley doesn't know her? She has been decorating for every affair at the gym. And she always helped with chapel. Oh, yes, indeed, Cora, I agree with you, Tillie Herold is an artist." "Well, let us hope her talent is not confined to mere walls," said Ray. "Hot biscuit requires a different stroke, I believe." "In accepting us for to-day," said Cora.
As Herold said: "One thing or the other is true; either there is something downstairs which has escaped you, Fenton, or else Avec is able to materialise in any place he chooses. Let's look!" We all went down except Charlotte, who went upstairs to stay with Ariadne. By turns, each of us held the ring.
Herold had recommended to me with the assurance that she had shown angelic patience in the care of her sick and aged mother, speedily became so demoralised by Minna's treatment of her that, at the end of a very short time, I of my own accord hurriedly dismissed her, and in doing so was violently reproached by my wife for giving the woman a small tip.
Abruptly the sounds left the vicinity of the ring. At first we could not locate their new position. Then Herold declared that they came from under the table; and presently we were all gathered on the floor, listening to those odd little sounds, while the ring remained thirty inches above, on the top of the table! It may be that the thing, whatever it was, did not care for such a crowd.
Giacomo Meyerbeer, to give him the name by which he is now best known, underwent the same influence as Hérold.

Harry closed his eyes, so he would not see where the others hid, and Nan, Bert and the rest of them picked out spots in the hay, and about the barn where they thought Harry could not see them. But Harry knew the old barn well, and he easily found Bert. Then he spied Nan and Flossie, hiding together. A little later he discovered where Tom Mason and Mabel Herold were.
"And see that man jump off a horse and jump on him again backwards!" called Tom Mason. "Oh, but look at the cute ponies," sighed Mabel Herold. There was so much to see and talk about that the children's eyes must have been tired, and their necks aching before the circus was over. At last it came to an end with the exciting chariot races, and the crowd began to leave the big tent.
As I had hitherto been present only at rehearsals, and had never got so far as the performances, my friends succeeded in procuring a seat for me in the box of Mme. Herold, the widow of the composer, a woman of sympathetic disposition, who at once declared herself warmly in favour of my music.
He promised to publish “Vineta” and also the work Daniel had finished in the meantime, entitled “Nuremberg Serenade.” He also seemed inclined to consider favourably Daniel’s appointment in his newly founded opera company. Among those present at the dinner were Professors Herold and Wackerbarth, Wurzelmann, a few of the long-haired and a few of the lost-in-dreams.
