"Let me know if I can be of any service to him," he said. "I will, I promise you I will," replied Hélène, and Mr. Cruger took his departure, accompanied by his son. The girls were introduced to Herr Von Barwig. "And this is Hélène's romance," thought Octavie, as she looked at Von Barwig and laughed aloud. Von Barwig thought she was a very pleasant young lady, and smiled back in return.
You will see; there is so much demand for it, some one will rise to the occasion." "Splendid!" said Charlotte. "Won't that save lots of hard work!"

"Thank you so much, Herr Professor, for your patience and courtesy," said Mrs. Cruger at parting. Herr Von Barwig bowed.
I should not like to have a son of mine accused of such motives even though I knew it to be untrue." Beverly was silent. He dimly saw that his father was right. "Think it over," suggested old Cruger.

Nicolas Cruger, Hamilton's old employer, again a resident of New York, led the farmers, driving a plough drawn by three yoke of oxen.

I have no house in town, but you can ride the distance between here and Christianstadt night and morning, if my estimable brother-in-law whom may the gout convince of his sins is too much for you."
"And then a few months later you made some inquiries at the Embassy for me," went on Mr. Cruger, "but I was unfortunately not there at the time, and so was unable to be of service to you. You had some mission, some object in going to America, the Secretary of Legation said. You wanted a list of all the large towns in the United States.
They pulled their wool caps well down over their ears and faced the sharp wind. They had crossed the main highway and struck into the woods on the other side, hoping to reach Cruger Lake by lunch time. They walked and walked till long after the time set for lunch, but saw no sign of the lake. "Let's build our fire in the woods, girls, and we'll go on to the lake afterwards.
Cruger, who was in Carolina at Ninety-six, promptly set his men in motion, and on the morning of the 18th appeared on the bank of the Savannah, opposite Augusta. Under the circumstances, Clarke was compelled to retreat. He had suffered a loss of sixty, killed and wounded. In retreating, he was compelled to leave twenty-nine of his wounded men behind.
