"I am Rebecca Daniels, whom they call on the Bills 'La Belle Stamboulane' though I have never been farther east than Prague," she added with a contemptuous smile. "That was my father, whose maltreatment you so promptly but I fear so severely chastised. But your name?" impatiently.
The girl returned to say that Herr Daniels would be honored with the visit, although, he had said, he had not a pleasant remembrance of the gentleman. In fact, before his assault in the street upon La Belle Stamboulane, the major had persecuted her and deserved the reproof from her father which it was too dangerous, as Munich society was ruled, for him to utter.
"In that house are the Jewish couple, father and daughter, who played at the Harmonista, La Belle Stamboulane and the Turkophonist Daniel, and the young man who belabored your excellency so that he almost died of the drubbing." "Hang you for being so profuse in your explanations! How do you know all this?" "The servant-maid is a customer of mine.

As the sailors drive the ship toward the false beacon, near them and garish and flaring, so he thought the erratic orb brighter than the serene fixed star. He felt ungrateful. This sneaking out of the town was ridiculous after the heroic introduction to La Belle Stamboulane.
Was it like devotion to me that you should try to abduct La Belle Stamboulane in the public street? "To remove her from your path! She was your rival in the music hall! Love her, love a Jewess? You do not understand men you fancy they are put here for your pleasure, safeguard and redemption. An error! We are neither your joy or your punishment. Let that pass.
An hour would soon pass, even in this tedious recreation. He felt also some resentment and curiosity to see the person whom the director of these Munich circeans considered in adequate succession to the peerless Stamboulane.
