The Berlin meeting proved that, from the time of the construction of the first successful German machine mentioned above, to the date of the meeting, a good number of German aviators had qualified for flight, but principally on Wright and Antoinette machines, though by that time the Aviatik and Dorner German makes had taken the air.
"Do you think you are improving your appearance by plastering your hair all over your face?" "No," said Cornelli fiercely. "Neither do I," said the cousin. "I cannot make you out at all. What will you put on next, I wonder, when your hair is brushed away?" "My fur cap," replied Cornell, according to the truth. "I never heard such nonsense," exclaimed Miss Dorner.
Dorner was one of the profoundest and most learned theologians of the nineteenth century, and ranks with Schleiermacher, Neander, Nitzsch, Julius Müller, and Richard Rothe.
As to falsifying to a sick or dying man, he says, "we overestimate the value of human life, and, besides, we in a measure usurp the place of Providence, when we believe we may save it by committing sin." In other words, Dorner counts falsifying with the intention of deceiving, even with the best of motives, a lie, and therefore a sin never justifiable.
Afterwards she sat there frowning, for she had to remain at her seat till the ladies got up; she had learned this custom from her cousin. "Don't always frown and make such horns! One can see them quite plainly even through your curtains," said Miss Dorner. "It won't be long before you can go away." At last the ladies got up to go into the garden.
"That is just what I am doing, Betty. Unfortunately, I have had very little success as yet," answered Miss Dorner. "But I just hope that the day will come when I can write her father some pleasant news about Cornelli, something different from what I feel obliged to send him now."
And to this estimate of him Professor Mead adds: "Even one who knows Dorner merely as the theological writer, will in his writings easily detect the fine Christian tone which characterized the man; but no one who did not personally know him can get a true impression of the Johannean tenderness and childlike simplicity which distinguished him above almost any one of equal eminence whom the world has ever known."
"We must not pay attention to what she says," remarked Miss Dorner. "When Cornelli is bored, she will probably turn to her books herself. Please, Miss Mina, keep an eye on Cornelli. Nonsense like this must not happen any more." When supper was finished, Cornelli went up to her room, and Miss Mina followed her.
"That is quite possible, but where were you before that?" "With Martha," Cornelli answered. "If you could only learn to answer more pleasantly!" remarked Miss Dorner, "it would be to your own advantage, for you do not have many pleasing things about you; it would only make you more attractive, and you really should strive to become so.
She has hardly even looked at me and only sits there as if her existence were a real misfortune I cannot stand it. What has happened to the child?" In his excitement Mr. Hellmut jumped up and paced about the room. "Nothing has happened to the child; at least, we know of nothing, do we, Betty?" said Miss Dorner. "We have both tried to teach her good manners, for we found that she lacked them sadly.
