You Germans may be thorough, but you certainly are not quick!" It was Alfred Bonnycastle who at last took pity on him. "My dear Vogelstein, she's the latest freshest fruit of our great American evolution. She's the self-made girl!" Count Otto gazed a moment. "The fruit of the great American Revolution? Yes, Mrs.
