"For Owgooste," she confided to him. Owgooste was in a Fauntleroy "costume" very much too small for him. Already he had been crying. "Woult you pelief, Doktor, dot bube has torn his stockun alreatty? Walk in der front, you; stop cryun. Where is dot berliceman?" At the door of the theatre McTeague was suddenly seized with a panic terror. He had lost the tickets.
But perhaps she does not know that . When we came out of the wood the Herr Religionsprofessor who is awfully fond of Frau Doktor M. called out: "Frau Doktor, you have lost your two satellites!" And everybody laughed because we'd come back. Father came to fetch Hella and me, and since it was nearly 11 o'clock Hella stayed the night with us.
Both pupil and tutor blushed a little, but the Crown Prince said nothing and seemed pleased to hear how well the lesson had gone that day. At noon, however, as the tutor was leaving the palace, a servant stopped him and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would like to speak with the Herr Doktor."
In the German lesson Frau Doktor M. told us to write an essay on the proverb: Pure the heart and true the word, clear the brow and free the eye, these are our safeguards, or something of that sort; I must get Hella to write it for me, for I was crying all through the lesson. The German word Verhaltnis as used in the arithmetic lesson means ratio, proportion.
I tell you I must be in Berlin to-night!" "There is no question of your taking the ordinary train, Herr Doktor," the fat man replied smoothly, "but unfortunately the special which I had ready for you has been countermanded. I thought you were not coming again." A special? By Jove! I was evidently a personage of note. But a special would never do! Where the deuce was it going to take me?
"Talk about luck," muttered Marcus, shaking his head at the dentist; then suddenly he added: "Well, are we going to stay talking out here in the hall all night? Can't we all come into your 'Parlors', Mac?" "Sure, sure," exclaimed McTeague, hastily unlocking his door. "Efery botty gome," cried Mrs. Sieppe, genially. "Ain't ut so, Doktor?" "Everybody," repeated the dentist.
She has come to visit her parents and her husband is with her; since she did not know for certain whether she would be able to come to the school she had not written either to me or to Hella about it. She is so lovely and so entrancingly loveable. When the bell rang for class and Frau Doktor Dunker came in I saw that she was still standing outside.
And there was that in his eyes, dark and courageous beneath the shaggy brows, that hinted at accesses of ape-like fury, uncontrollable and ferocious. He gave me his cigar which, as he had said, was a good one, and, after a preliminary sip of his wine, began to speak. "I am a plain man, Herr Doktor," he said, "and I like plain speaking. That is why I am going to speak quite plainly to you.
All we get are chocolates and sweets and dates and that sort of thing, not proper presents. The girls want to give the Frau Doktor a great Krampus * to leave it on her desk. I think that's silly. It's not a proper present for a teacher one is really fond of, one doesn't want to waste sweets on a teacher one doesn't like, and to give an empty Krampus would be rude.
I do love America, the land of liberty. In the boat we sat next Frau Doktor M., she was awfully nice; Hella was on the right and I was on the left, and we sat so close that she said: "Girls, you're squashing me, or at least you're crushing my dress!" She was wearing a white frock and had a coral necklace which suited her simply splendidly.
