And when he spoke again, it was in acknowledgment of the fact that he had read Hodder's purpose. "You will have opposition, my friend. They will fight you some persons we know. They do not wish what you and I desire. But you will not surrender I knew it." Mr. Engel broke off abruptly, and rang a bell on his desk. "I will make out for you a list. I hope you may come in again, often.
This was a hurried visit, with many interests and excitements, and yet the grave of that infirm, deaf, old Dowager Duchess, who had, as practical people say, "outlived her usefulness," was not found "out of the way." There was little need of the dear grandmama calling softly through that tender blue flower "Vergiss mein nicht, mein Engel Albert!" He never forgot.
We need not be afraid to teach men better ways; there will always be plenty too stupid or too old or too isolated to learn; these will remain a bulwark against too sudden change. Dr. Engel, former head of the Prussian Statistical Bureau, informs us that "Scientific farming succeeds because a given amount of effort, when more intelligently directed, produces greater results.
Engel had accompanied them on a tour of inspection; the financier himself had enjoined the librarian to "take good care" of the clergyman. Mr. Waring, Mr. Atterbury; and Mr. Constable were likewise trustees. And since then, when talking to him, Hodder had had a feeling that Mr. Engel was not unconscious of the aura if it may be called such of his vestry. Mr.

Yes, there was an unacknowledged element of fear in my attitude, though I comforted myself with the notion that opinions, philosophical and scientific, were in a state of flux." "Yes, yes," said Mr. Engel, "I comprehend.
"Well, it wouldn't be much fun," he said, "but it's all beastly this afternoon, anyway." "Can I sit on the window too?" asked Mary.

"There's 'Stumps' and 'Rags and Tatters, and 'Engel the Fearless, and 'Herr Baby' and 'Alice' and " "'Alice' is best," said Jeremy, sighing.
"You thought me a narrow, complacent, fashionable priest who had no concern as to what happened outside the walls of his church, who stuck obstinately to dogmas and would give nothing else a hearing. Well, you were right." "Ah, I didn't think all that," Mr. Engel protested, and his parchment skin actually performed the miracle of flushing. "I am not so stupid.
And he finished the verse with unruffled decorum "Will Satan mich verschlingen, So lass die Engel singen Hallelujah!" We never had another difference.
