Two waiters came to assist Amalie; a band played in an arbour; carts and wagonettes were hitched to the front of the house; and the noise and merry-making lasted till late in the night. Together they leaned from the window of Louise's room, to watch the people; they hardly ventured out of doors, for it was unpleasant to see their favourite nooks invaded by strangers.
He looked like a country doctor which was reasonable enough, Rick thought, because that's just about what he was. Charlotte Amalie, with a population of about 11,500, could not be described as a big city. The doctor greeted them all cordially, then immediately got down to business. "I'm sorry you are not remaining in Charlotte Amalie. However, Hobart, I have done as you requested.
He had no answer to that. The question had popped into his mind unbidden. "We didn't take the compressor apart," Scotty reminded him. That was true. But Rick had started it in Charlotte Amalie to be sure it was functioning. There was no oil in it then. He said as much. "You started the compressor at the same time you checked the tanks," Zircon reminded him.
The Countess von der Recke sends me a pressure of the hand; it is something, and I kiss her hands as a token of gratitude; but Amalie has not even saluted me. Every day I am angry at myself in not having profited by her sojourn at Teplitz, seeking her companionship sooner.
On this occasion her sister Amalie, who was a pianist, accompanied her, and shortly afterwards her father took her, with her sister Amalie and one of her brothers, on an extended tour. The family consisted of two sons a pianist and a 'cellist and two daughters a violinist and a pianist.
Besides, there were supplies and equipment to be picked up and charts to be obtained, and the Sky Wagon needed to have the tank topped off, since they couldn't very well carry aviation gas to the island. Reluctantly, Rick asked, "Anyone want to see anything else?" "Not me," Hobart Zircon said flatly. "I want to get to Charlotte Amalie so we can get started back.
It was an unusually busy year, and he had dared to hope for crowded waters and streets; exquisite as Charlotte Amalie might be to look upon, he wanted something more than a lovely casket. The town is set on three conical foot-hills, which bulge at equal distances against an almost perpendicular mountain, the tip, it is said, of a range whose foundations are four miles below.
We fared better with sister Amalie; for she, with her good-nature and simple homely ways, did much to make up for the absence of children for a time. The two sisters, neither of whom had had any real education, often returned playfully to the ways of their childhood.
In his heart Karl August cared less for aesthetic matters than is often supposed, but his mother, the Dowager Duchess Amalie, patronized art for the real love of it. Poetry and music were as the breath of life to her, and her taste in poetry had been trained by the greatest living master. Aside from Goethe, two other distinguished writers had found a home in Weimar.
You shall cheer us in the mean time with your letters; and when at Easter you return with Petrea, then then you will no longer have an ailing suffering brother; I will manage it so that I will be quite well by that time!" She was talked to also on other sides, especially by the young, lively Amalie, and at length Gabriele permitted herself to be persuaded.
