"Nun, Sie," she repeated brightly, and Minna drew her chair a little nearer making a small group. "Schiller" she saw at the top of the page and the title of the poem "Der Spaziergang."

Two of them standing together by the desk spoke of him: "He is there again, the gray man!" "Ah, so! But, yes, there is his back!" "Poor one, it is the Fraulein Engel he waits to see, perhaps."
