Presently there entered a tall, thin, iron-gray gentleman, the very type of a Prussian bureaucrat. Walking with quick nervous steps to his desk he acknowledged our bows with a curt nod and turning to Stammer he said: "Well, Stammer?" "This is Dr. Graver, your Excellency." "Ah, yes. Sehr schön. Convey my thanks to Captain Tappken, Stammer."
Like the great Doctor, when he thought he had cheated Mephistopheles at last, I could have cried aloud to the fleeting moment, Verweile doch, du bist so schön! "Are you always gay?" I asked, suddenly. "How happy you must be!" "The days would sometimes seem very long if I were gloomy," she answered, thoughtfully. "Yes, I think I find life very pleasant, and I tell it so."
Just facing it, on the crest of the opposite hill, the village of Schon Grabern could be seen, and in three places to left and right the French troops amid the smoke of their campfires, the greater part of whom were evidently in the village itself and behind the hill.
'Na! gut, gut... geh, alte! Mr. Ratsch cut her short. 'Geh' schon, geh' schon, muttered Eleonora Karpovna, and she went away, still holding the kerchief with her fingers, and shedding tears. And I followed her. In the passage stood Viktor in a student's coat with a beaver collar and a cap stuck jauntily on one side.
Abe nodded slowly. "Yes, Abe," Morris continued, "I got to go over the story twice over already, and even then, y'understand, my Minnie gets mad because I didn't contradict myself. "Only one idee that woman got it in her head, Abe. If I am out of the house schon ten minutes already you couldn't tell her otherwise but I am playing auction pinocle."
I got a wife and baby, Abe; but with a feller which he has got no more interest in his home, y'understand, than he wants to go to Paris, Abe all right! Go ahead, Abe; go to Paris. I am satisfied." Abe regarded his partner for one hesitating moment. "Schon gut, I will go to Paris," he said; and the next moment the elevator door closed behind him.
On the contrary, the energetic action of that battery led the French to suppose that here in the center the main Russian forces were concentrated. Twice they had attempted to attack this point, but on each occasion had been driven back by grapeshot from the four isolated guns on the hillock. Soon after Prince Bagration had left him, Tushin had succeeded in setting fire to Schon Grabern.
The gendarme takes it very cautiously; meditates awhile how to carry it; sticks the point of his bayonet into its muzzle, and lifts it aloft. "Schon! Das kriegt! Has der Herr any more death-instruments?"
The youths had insisted on his being capable of assisting their studies, and, a good man had been found who was fearfully learned, having studied at all possible universities, but then failing as a teacher, because he was so dreamy and absent as to be incapable of keeping the unruly students in order. Jobst Schon was his proper name, but he was translated into Jodocus Pulcher.
Many maintain that there has been a sensible advance. A recent traveller describes them as "in mancher Hinsicht schon hypercultivirt." What might be called a third position is taken by one of the most prominent writers of the race, E.W. Blyden, the widely-known President of Liberia College.
