At such moments her hair was yellower, her skin whiter, her cheeks pinker, as if a lamp had suddenly been turned up inside of her.

And it is a dead man that sings: Menschen waren wir ja auch, Froh und traurig, so wie Ihr. Und nun sind wir leblos hier, Sind nur Erde, wie Ihr sehet. At the moment he was writing this song, in the short respite he had from his illness, he himself was nearly a dead man.
Presently a door opened, and a strong voice was heard humming in the hall, "Ich weiss nicht was soll es bedeuten Dass ich so traurig bin." "It's Uncle Fritz; all laugh loud and he will be sure to come in," said Emil. A wild burst of laughter followed, and in came Uncle Fritz, asking, "What is the joke, my lads?"
"If the captain notices you, he'll invite you also, and we should then be abusing his kindness." "My uncle's way!" thought Isagani. "All so that I won't have any reason for talking with Doña Victorina." Ich weiss nicht was soil es bedeuten Dass ich so traurig bin!
