Eliezer meets the intended bride at a well from whence she is drawing water, goes with her into her brother's house, takes out a pack of precious things sent from the father in the name of the son, displays them to her and invites her to become the bride of the son. She consents.

"Competition," says M. Dunoyer, "meets a multitude of obstacles." In fact, it meets so many and such powerful ones that it becomes impossible itself.
If Gertrude were only here. She has made that one true friend, whom nothing can shake, who, knowing all, came to love her with a tender regard that was not pity. But there is no one, no one. All is a dreary waste. A step comes up the balcony, and the mellifluous voice is whistling Schumann's Carnival. Whither shall she fly? But even now it is too late, for he meets her in the wide doorway.
His hand is on the latch, when her sharp involuntary exclamation stops him: "Stay, then! You cannot bring sorrow into a house where sorrow is already at home!"

I was surprised, when we came to the first of what was called the "bad water," to see the boat aim directly for it.
When he meets with anything that is very good he changes it into small money, like three groats for a shilling, to serve several occasions.
