Pfalzgraf Nase, as the old chronicles call him in their humour, but assuredly a great noble, led the van, and pushed across the draw-bridge. Hesitation and signs of horror were manifest in the assemblage round the Kaiser's person. The Kaiser and the youth at his right hand were cheery. Not a whit drooped they! Several of the heroic knights begged the Kaiser's permission to fall back.
'We Germans, said Kaiser Heinrich, when he was again surrounded by his courtiers, 'may go wrong if we always follow Pfalzgraf Nase; but this time we have been well led. Whereat there was obsequious laughter. The Pfalzgraf pleaded a susceptible nostril. 'Thou art, I fear, but a timid mortal, said the Kaiser.
What, Gentlemen, are you going to debate about the right of choosing places of residence, the right of settling down anywhere without being specially taxed!

I did not hear what she said, but my friend turned to me and said in an alarming tone we had been speaking German "Mein Gott! Ihre Nase ist abgefroren!" Now the word "abgefroren," as the reader will understand, seemed to indicate that my nose was frozen off, so I put up my hand in some alarm to discover whether I had inadvertently lost the whole or part of the member referred to.
Henry Nase, a brother officer in the late King's American regiment, whose descendants still live at Westfield. In the course of the first year's residence General Coffin expended more than £1,200 sterling in improving his property. He built on the Nerepis stream an excellent mill and displayed much enterprise in other ways.
Dachshunds for extreme courage and cleverness in showing up a dangerous nest of spies. Keefe was hit four times by large caliber shells before he could say surrender. He was decorated with the Order of the Schwarz Auge, the Order of the Rot Nase and the Order of the Blumenkohl Ohren, besides which a Right Cross was hung on his jaw.

The same day we turned as high as Porshet. The 26 day we turned as high as Ratcliffe, and praised God for our safe returne. And thus I ende, 1580. The 1 off Iune 1582.
