At first the maid found it difficult to repeat this patchwork of truth and fiction in proper order, but the ex-schoolmaster impressed it so firmly on his sweetheart's mind that at last it flowed from her lips as fluently as his pupils in Stanstadt had recited the alphabet.
Ogilvie had been equally pleasant to both, for the ex-schoolmaster thoroughly enjoyed hearing of the scientific world, and the young man was heartily glad of the higher light he was able to shed on his studies, and for being shown how to prevent the spiritual world from being obscured by the physical, and to deal with the difficulties that his brother's materialism had raised for him.
Out of the depths of my humiliation there emerged, full-grown, a huge respect for this quiet-eyed ex-schoolmaster who, for the few of us who knew him, lived the life of a studious recluse among his technical mechanisms in the laboratory. He was a salaried man, and I was one of his three employers. That he was able to ignore completely the business relation was a mark of the man.
Orde worked with such success that in two or three years he was sent to Sumatra to be the Chief of a factory that he was to found on the west coast of the island. The ex-schoolmaster would, perhaps, have risen to be Governor of Madras, but it would seem that life in the East had really been 'much prejudicial to his health, for he died in Sumatra ten years after his first arrival in Madras.
M'Quirter, we need hardly say, was a Scotsman a big, broad-shouldered Sawney formidable in 'slacks, as he called his trousers, and terrific in kilts; while Grimes was a native of Swillingford, an ex-schoolmaster and parish clerk, and now an auctioneer, a hatter, a dyer and bleacher, a paper-hanger, to which the wits said when he set up his paper, he added the trade of 'stainer.

Biberli handed the knight a little bag containing this sum, and when Heinz asked in perplexity where he obtained it, the ex-schoolmaster answered gaily: "They came just in the nick of time.
On his way to the Green Shield he had confessed to Biberli who, torch in hand, led the way that he intended very shortly to turn his back on the court and ride home, because this time he had found the right chatelaine for his castle. "That means the last one," the ex-schoolmaster answered quietly, carefully avoiding fanning the flame of his young master's desire by contradiction.
He and Katterle knew what she meant, for the ex-schoolmaster had explained it in the best possible way to his docile wife. MARGERY, Complete By Georg Ebers Translated from the German by Clara Bell The difficulty would in fact be insuperable to the writer and the annoyance to the reader almost equally great. I have merely endeavored to avoid essentially modern words and forms of speech.
But all was discovered. The five culprits were examined, when the Marquise de Villars stated that the inhabitants of Messina had given them an example which the King of France had not condemned! The Marquise and the two Chevaliers were beheaded, while the ex-schoolmaster was hanged.
How painful, too, was the feeling that she was being examined to discover whether the Abbess Kunigunde had any share in her change of purpose! The torture to which stronger men rarely succumbed seemed to threaten the life of the more delicate ex-schoolmaster.
