He began to think that they must have been all over the world in all this time that the rolling and roaring and hissing and jangling had been about his ears; shut up in the dark, he began to remember all the tales that had been told in Yule round the fire at his grandfather's good house at Dorf, of gnomes and elves and subterranean terrors, and the Erl King riding on the black horse of night, and and and he began to sob and to tremble again, and this time did scream outright.
"It's bigger than I thought it would be," answered Frieda. "Hannah said it was a Dorf. I thought there would be only two or three houses, and many little huts all close together, but we passed many houses." "It is a good thing for you to see a New England village," said Miss Lyndesay, "as part of the education you came for.
The broad, clean street, the large white-washed timber houses, with projecting porches and roofs, may stand for a type of the Alsatian "Dorf." The houses are white-washed outside once a year, the mahogany-coloured rafters, placed crosswise, forming effective ornamentation. No manure heaps before the door are seen here, as in Brittany, all is clean and sightly.
His story reads like the German narrative, Des Goldmachers Dorf. Nor does it require any lively fancy to picture what this region must have been like before Oberlin and his fellow-workers made the wilderness to blossom as the rose. The soil is rocky and barren, the hill-sides whitened with mountain streams, the more fertile spots isolated and difficult of access.
Attracted by the sound of steps, Frida had turned round, and seeing her friend had, as we have written, bounded off to meet him.

Gurnet's house was like an eye, or a pair of super-vigilant eyes, stationed between Davos Dorf and Davos Platz. It stood, a small brown chalet, perched high above the lake.
The principal difference is, that our trees are two or three times the size of theirs. At length, after scaling another mountain, we reached a wide, elevated plain, in the middle of which stood the old dorf of Beerfelden. It was then crowded with people, on account of a great cattle-fair being held there.
Branderode Dorf was twice set fire to by them; and was, at last, with Zeuchfeld, which is an Amtsdorf, after both had been plundered, reduced to ashes. Of the pollution of the altars, and of the blasphemous songs these people sang in the churches, one cannot think without horror.
Darkness had fallen on all around ere they reached the Dorf, and strange figures that the trees and bushes assumed appeared to the superstitious mind of Elsie and some of the others as the embodiment of evil spirits, and they wished themselves safe under the shelter of their little huts.
