As she don't know any English words, that is the only thing we have agreed about. She said, Ja wohl! This going to balls and cafés as I'm doing is all right for local color and all that, but it would tickle dad a lot if I knew a quiet, decent, respectable German family. And I want to know a nice, sober German girl who has got yellow, chorus-girl hair and will steady a fellow down.

The man became, once more, as keen as a gossip. "What cannon? When dey shoot him off?" "Can't tell," said his friend. "That's to be their signal." "I do not know," The conical hat wagged sagely. "I go find out." He pointed across the moonlit spaces. "Ofer dere iss your house. You can no more. Schlafen Sie wohl." The two men wrung each other's hands. "Shan't forget this, Wutz."

The Baroness also turned in my direction, and gazed at me in wrathful perplexity, while some of the passers-by also began to stare at us, and others of them halted outright. "Hein!" the Baron vociferated again, with a redoubled growl and a note of growing wrath in his voice. "Ja wohl!" I replied, still looking him in the eyes.

Who knows whether she must not have done so when she copied out of the secretary's memorandum-book, the verses, "So fliessen nun zwei Wasser Wohl zwischen mir and Dir?"

"Fuhlt Seel und Leib ein Wohl ergehen So treib es mich zum Dank dafur; Last du mich deine Werke sehen, So sey mein Ruhmen stets von dir; Und find ich in der Welt nicht Ruh, So steig mein Schmen Hinmel zu."
"Come to this room to-morrow afternoon at 6 o'clock with the landlord, the Populist Candidate, and any other witnesses elected from both parties, and I will return the socks." "Bien, Monsieur; schlafen sie wohl." "Au revoir." The Chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee, Platform No.2, bowed courteously and withdrew. Tictocq sent for the bell boy.
