"five feet Rhineland measure in height, which lived four days and seven hours, but refusing all food, died without leaving any intelligible account of herself."

"How to promote our interests in the Rhineland," wrote M. Maurice Barrès, "is a life-and-death question for us. We are going to carry to the Rhine our military and, I hope, our economic frontier.
If H , and B , and Von U , and myself can but get his ear! "Oh, Rhineland! my own beloved Rhineland, shall I see you again?
