"A sort of Dorothea", he suggested to Corydon; and they agreed that they would search diligently and find such a "treffliches Madchen", who would be trusting and affectionate, and would talk in German with the baby. So now he spent several days hunting in strange places; and at last, in a dingy East-side employment-office, he came upon his Schatz.
The "treffliches Maedchen" was perhaps too kind-hearted; her emotions were too voluminous for so small a house, her personality seemed to spread all over it. She would sing Hungarian love-ditties at her work; and somehow calling these "folksongs" did not help matters. Also, alas, she distributed about the house strange odors of raw onions, boiled cabbage and perspiration.
Back in the Hungarian village she had fallen in love with the son of a rich farmer, quite in Hermann and Dorothea fashion; but alas, in this case there had been no "gute verstandige Mutter" and no "wurdiger Pfarrer" instead there had been a hateful step-mother, and so the "treffliches Madchen" had had to come away.
