I want no fumes in my brain and no clod between my fingers when I meet the Muse face to face."
"They got away for the present," he answered grimly. "But we're still hunting them." "Can't you let the law take its course, Mr. Danke? Is it necessary to do this terrible thing?" "Don't you worry any about it, Miss Kinney. This ain't a woman's job. I'll attend to it." "But my friends," she reminded him. "We ain't intending to hurt them any. Come, I'll see you home.

Then he said in a calm English voice, utterly different from his whining accents of a moment before: "You must be a dam' cool hand!" But he didn't bluff me, staggered though I was. I said quickly in German: "What do you want with me? I don't understand you. If you annoy me any more I shall call the police!"
Then we may be well sure that from our own silent, stubborn Deal men, many a deep-felt prayer of gratitude, unuttered it may be by the lips, was sent up from the heart to Him, the 'Eternal Father strong to save, while the Germans now broke openly out into 'Danke Gott!
