There was no particular reason why Dr. Krumm should marry Franziska Fahler, except that he was the most important young man in Huferschingen, and she was the most important young woman.

You would have thought by his manner that it was two o'clock, whereas it was only half-past eleven!
"I will go and tell her, certainly; but as for apologising to Krumm, that is absurd!" "As you please," says Tita. By-and-by Franziska or rather Miss Fahler came out of the small garden and round by the front of the house.
