"Not only is it possible," the Goldsmith answered, "but it will, it must happen, exactly as I have said it will; I give you my word for it." The Commissionsrath made no further objection, and they arranged that the Goldsmith's plan should be put in execution on the next Sunday at noon. Leonhard undertook to provide the three caskets, all ready.
And thou shalt beg thy bread, in rags, before the doors of the despised people of God; and they shall drive thee away like a mangy cur, and thou shalt be cast to the earth like a rotten branch. And instead of the sound of the harp, moths shall be thy fellows, and dogs shall make a divan of the tomb of thy mother! Curses! curses! curses upon thee! Commissionsrath Melchior Bosswinkel!"
Old Manasseh glowered at the table laid out for this repast with malignant glances askance, and when the Commissionsrath begged him to fall to, on his countenance could be read the answer of Shylock: "Yes, to smell pork, to eat of the habitation which your prophet, the Nazarite, conjured the devil into.
The idea of entering the matrimonial estate, particularly with so youthful a lady, was more than he could quite see his way to. He told the Commissionsrath at once that he had made up his mind to marry Albertine, and as Bosswinkel immediately embraced him in the character of his son-in-law, he, very naturally, considered himself engaged to her.
Edmund, who had not the slightest idea who the Commissionsrath was, took out his cigar-case and offered it politely to this desperate person, saying that he could vouch for both the quality and the drawing powers of his cigars, although he had not got them from Hamburg, but out of a shop in Frederick Street.
Put on your shawl, Tiny! It's a fine Turkish shawl, my dear painter cost fifty ducats. Wrap yourself up in it, Tiny; we must be getting home. Good-bye, my dear sir." Edmund was here inspired by a happy thought. He took out his cigar case and offered the Commissionsrath a third Havannah. "I really am excessively obliged to you," the Commissionsrath said, delighted; "you really are most kind.
And, in spite of all his protestations, Tussmann had to submit to Bosswinkel's wrapping a white handkerchief about his head, and sending him home in a cab to Spandau Street. "And what's your news, Manasseh?" the Commissionsrath inquired. Manasseh simpered most deferentially, and with much amiability, and said Mr.
Your title of Commissionsrath will be taken from you, blow will follow upon blow, your credit will be gone, your income will fall away, things will go from bad to worse, till at last, in poverty, misery and contempt, you will " "For God's sake stop!" cried the Commissionsrath, "you are putting me to a regular martyrdom.
"Oh, God," the Commissionsrath cried, "another bankruptcy in Hamburg, I suppose, or in Bremen, or London, to ruin me out and out! That was all that was wanted. Oh, I'm a ruined man!" "No," the Goldsmith said, "it's an affair of a different kind altogether; you say that you won't allow young Edmund Lehsen to marry Albertine, do you not?"
He's insupportable to me. I hate him! I abhor him! Oh, Edmund!" She sank, almost fainting, into Edmund's arms; and he pressed her to his heart with the warmest affection. The Commissionsrath, utterly amazed, opened his eyes as wide as if he were seeing spectres, and then cried "What's all this? what do I see?" "Ah, yes! yes, indeed!" Tussmann said, in a lamentable tone.
