Pulling a key from the pocket of his vast waistcoat, he said in his quiet voice, so seductive and ominous: "Is this the key of the safe?" He offered it delicately to Audrey. It was the key of the safe. "Did they find it in the ditch?"
I was not created to be happy, and my whole being longs for happiness. Oh! I would willingly give my life for one day by the side of the one I love." "Do not trifle," said Goethe, angrily.
