With an indescribably charming submission, Eva bowed her blushing face and kissed him. "Lord God!" said Jeremias, "and you are mine! In his name then!" and with unspeakable emotion clasped he his long beloved to his heart. He held her long, and only deep sighs arose from his heart overflowing with happiness.

Its details in full would occupy a volume.

The young Jacobis drank incessantly to the aunts Gabriele must continually make her glass clink against those of her little nephews. In the mean time Jeremias Munter made with love-warm looks the following speech to his bride.
Byron says: "Dreams in their development have breath and tears and torture and the touch of joy. They leave a weight upon our waking thoughts and look like heralds of eternity. They pass like the spirits of the past; they speak like sibyls of the future." The spirit of Jeremias might have touched the stone upon which I slept, or Baruch might have dwelt there.

If a millstone had fallen round his neck, our good Assessor could not have been more confounded than he was at that moment.
