Von Brüning had greeted Davies with cordial surprise, and said he had wondered yesterday if it was the Dulcibella that he had seen anchored behind Langeoog. Davies had explained that we had left the Baltic and were on our way home; taking the shelter of the islands. 'Supposing he comes on board and asks to see our log? I said. 'Pull it out, said Davies, 'It's rot, this hiding, after all. I say.
This Buiening is called Bruning in "The Cloud of Witnesses," and may be the Brownen of Claverhouse's letter, that is to say, the nephew of John Brown.
Davies said it was a good address to give, I added, smiling. 'Naturally, said von Brüning, dryly; the joke had apparently ceased to amuse him. 'But you haven't much time then, have you? he added, 'unless you leave your skipper in the lurch. It's a long way to England, and the season is late for yachts. I felt myself being hurried. 'Oh, you don't understand, I explained; 'he's in no hurry.
Her province is to be charming, not to hold financial secrets. 'I have done my best to help you, said the stepmother. 'They're all against us, Davies.

Böhme was my abstraction, the fortress whose foundations we were sapping, the embodiment of that systematized force which is congenital to the German people. In von Brüning, the personal factor was uppermost. Callous as I was this evening, I could not help wondering occasionally, as he talked and laughed with Clara Dollmann, what in his innermost thoughts, knowing her father, he felt and meant.
