This justified me in allowing you to eat the quince with her; this induces me now to entrust to you, without fear, what I have always looked upon as a sacred pledge committed to my keeping. Look upon her too only as a loan.
Moreover, they are far better mannered, and more 'HUMAN', in the German sense of the word, in all respects; in short, less 'colonial'.

Quince coughed several times, each cough being louder than the last, and then, treading softly, was about to return to the workshop when the girl stirred and muttered in her sleep. At first she was unintelligible, then he distinctly caught the words "idiot" and "blockhead." "She's dreaming of somebody," said Mr. Quince to himself with conviction. "Wonder who it is?"
