Ulrich stole closer. It was the Herr Pfarrer, praying volubly but inaudibly. He scrambled to his feet as Ulrich touched him, and his first astonishment over, poured forth his tale of woe. There had been trouble since Ulrich's departure. A French corps of observation had been camped upon the hill, and twice within the month had a French soldier been found murdered in the woods.
But it was opened instantly again from within. A little hunchback with shining eyes hurried towards him. "Herr Maimon?" he said inquiringly, holding out his hand with a smile of welcome.

At luncheon Harrigan innocently threw a bomb into camp by inquiring: "Say, Nora, who's this chump Herr Rosen? He was up here last night and again this morning. I was going to offer him the cot on the balcony, but I thought I'd consult you first." "Herr Rosen!" exclaimed Mrs. Harrigan, a flutter in her throat. "Why, that's...."
