To send an American son or daughter to Deutschland for such influence and benefit was but another example of the prevailing misconception of real Teutonism. Many an evening the family dined at the famous Schiller Garden which stretched along the shore, just across the river.
As this thought came to him he turned his head and gazed at the city through the huge window, whence it stretched away, ever present, ever living its giant life.
Sometimes through the openings a bared painted limb, a crest of feathers, or a strip of gaudy blanket was visible, but nothing more. And yet only a few hundred yards away stretched the dusky, silent plain vacant of sound or motion!
She must go back to those dreary years that had had no meaning in them, all those purposeless grey days that had stretched in endless succession on to a dismal future in which there shone no sun.

When I had turned the stone and showed him the chain, I pulled it up and supported it as I had done before, only this time I used the carbine which had belonged to the sentry I had killed, and to the stock of this I fastened a long rope which Tupac had hidden there by my orders.
