Above the cascade the creek cut deep into the table land, making a charming glen, with precipitous blue stone walls, some eighty or ninety feet in height, fringed with black wattle and lightwood, and here and there, among the fallen rocks nearest the water, a fern tree or so, which last I may say are no longer there, Dr. Mulhaus having cut the hearts out of them and eaten them for cabbage.
Then she went into the drawing-room, where, besides her father, were Major Buckley, Doctor Mulhaus, Frank Maberly, and the drunken doctor before spoken of, who had had the sublime pleasure of cutting a bullet from his old adversary's arm, and was now in a fair way to justify the SOBRIQUET I have so often applied to him. I myself also was sitting next the fire, alongside of Frank Maberly.

After a long while privations had made us both light-headed I think we saw a camp of the insane in the woods a fresh relay from Mulhaus. We talked with their guards being in Landwehr uniform it was easy. The insane were clothed like miners.
Mulhaus, the mysterious German, with his good-humoured roar, first heard at old Drumston, and with us to the end, who is everybody's friend and counsellor, and beloved by all except George Hawker, of whose 'tom-cat' skull he has made that amusingly audacious examination at the beginning of their acquaintance.
Mulhaus, when he came to reside in this village?" asked Miss Thornton. "Yes; Lord C , whom I knew at Oxford, recommended me to him." "His real name, I daresay, is not Mulhaus.

Ally she was twelve was learning to sew.
"Don't say anything more about him," said the Doctor in a low voice. "It's a tender subject in this house." "It is, eh!" said my Lord; "thanks for the hint, good bah! Mulhaus. Let us go up and have half an hour with Miss Thornton before I go!" They went up, and then her father followed. He seemed flushed, and she thought he must have been drinking too much wine.
Doctor Mulhaus, put your good advice into your pocket and smoke your pipe. Here is one who can exert a greater power for good or evil than all of you put together.
