Blau had his ears boxed by the Prussian minister, Stein. A similar reaction took place at Worms, Spires, etc. The German Jacobins suffered the punishment amply deserved by all those who look for salvation from the foreigner. Those who had barely escaped the vengeance of the Prussian on the Rhine were beheaded by their pretended good friends in France.
Another, a Nieder-Rheinischer, watches the moon rise over the Lowenburg, and thinks upon his love within the castle hall, till he breaks out in a strange, sad, tender melody not without stateliness and manly confidence in himself and in his beloved in the true strain of the nightingale: 'Verstohlen geht der Mond auf, Blau, blau, Blumelein, Durch Silberwolkchen fuhrt sein Lauf.
He had his sections of the Siegfried map folded in his pocket, and he squatted up with his legs crossed like an Indian idol while she lay prone beside him and followed every movement of his indicatory finger. "Here," he said, "is this Blau See, and here we rest until to-morrow. I think we rest here until to-morrow?" There was a brief silence.

There was no railway beyond Frutigen in those days; they sent their baggage by post to Kandersteg, and walked along the mule path to the left of the stream to that queer hollow among the precipices, Blau See, where the petrifying branches of trees lie in the blue deeps of an icy lake, and pine-trees clamber among gigantic boulders.

The cook, on learning that this was a "feiner Herr," had added trout to the regulation dishes; and although she was convinced that the only proper way to cook them was "blau gesotten" meaning boiled to a livid bluish white she had learned American tastes from the Denes and sent them in to Gethryn beautifully brown and crisp. Rex turned one over critically. "Good little fish. Who is the angler?"
