At one table sat a happy party of Germans, apparently dressed from head to foot by Dr. Jaeger, and at another were two middle-aged men who had the appearance of commercial travellers. By and by an elderly Jew came in, and dinner had reached the stage of peppery mutton ragout, when the door opened again. Victoria's place was almost opposite, and involuntarily, she glanced up.
First the felt boots and felt slippers made by Jaeger and then summer wind clothes and fur mits nothing could be better than these articles. They are excellent in quality. At first I thought they seemed small, but a stiffness due to cold and dryness misled me a little stretching and all was well. They are very good indeed. I have an idea to use putties to secure our wind trousers to the finnesko.
His gamekeeper, or Jaeger, told me that they always could depend on the governor, as they call Herr Hardy. "Herr Hardy took me to London, and I went to the Zoological Gardens, where there were a great many rare animals, and to the Haymarket Theatre, which is like the Royal Theatre at Copenhagen.
Hoffmeier having explained this whole subject more particularly to Synod, it was thereupon resolved, That a committee be appointed to confer with our esteemed brethren of the Reformed Synod in respect to the subject under consideration. The Messrs. J. George Schmucker, Conrad Jaeger, and H. A. Muhlenberg were named as this committee."
One hand held a stout stick, and the other grasped the skirt of his Jaeger dressing-gown, from under which could be seen his bed-socked ankles and feet thrust into Jaeger slippers. The expression on his face was that of a crossed child, intent on something that he has not got.
On the opposite slope some twenty Hirsch-cows, with their fawns, were galloping down into the valley, carrying with them a torrent of earth and gravel. Presently they slackened and stopped, huddling all together into a thicket. The Jaeger lifted his head and whispered "Stueck"; that being the complimentary name by which one designates female deer in German. "All?" said Rex, under his breath.
"No, Master, but " Elwar looked toward the door. "And you won't be," he was told reassuringly. "Now you just go ahead on back to your quarters." As the door closed, Kweiros turned to Jaeger. "Think we'll put you on special assignment. For the next few cycles, you'll act as a private tutor. Then you can go back to Main Base with Elwar while they give him his training." Jaeger raised his eyebrows.
He wore no cuffs, but one could see the beginnings of his Jaeger undervest under the black sleeve. He rubbed his chin or smoothed the back of his small head almost ceaselessly. "You can sit down, boys. One moment, Mr. Ricardo, one moment only " He spoke in an undertone. Robert knew it was about him. They both looked in his direction. The little man jerked his head. "Robert Stonehouse."
Next to him was a typical young aristocrat of the Bavarian type, in the uniform of a Jaeger regiment In the same carriage were some other officers sleeping heavily. One of them, with a closely-cropped bullet head and the low-browed face of, a man who fights according to the philosophy of Bernhardi, without pity, sat up abruptly, swore a fierce word or two, and then fell back and snored again.
I ordered re-absorption, which was started as soon as repairs had been accomplished. At the request of Guardsman Jaeger, we stood by to render aid if necessary, maintaining contact with his station. At 0572, Jaeger requested immediate evacuation for himself and for one other person. I entered atmosphere, made planetfall with nullified visibility, and took off the guardsman and a young native.
