My wife, Rosa, sits on the stair to see that none disturb, and her cousin, the wife of the Portier, weeps over the stove. Please, Fraulein, come with me." "When did you leave the Siebensternstrasse?" "But now." "And he still lives?" "Ja, Fraulein, and asks for you."
Next day he was so embarrassed that he could not speak to her, and in his shyness did all that was possible to avoid her. When he was asked to go for the usual walk he refused because, he said, he had work to do. But Fraulein Hedwig seized an opportunity to speak to him alone.

Miriam was the last to reach the schoolroom. The girls were drawn up on either side of the gaslit room leaving the shuttered windows clear. She moved to take a chair at the end of the table in front of the saal doors. "Na!" said Fraulein sharply from the sofa-corner. "Not there! In full current!" Her voice shook.
Up to the very last she is as fresh as a daisy; and, after recovering from her swooning-spell in the second act, she braces her shoulders back, and dances all around the top notes of the chromatic scale with the greatest of ease.

The barmaid was blonde, whereas Phyllis was neither blonde nor brunette, but stood between the extremes, and there was a difference in the eyes: I could see that even in the insufficient light. "Good evening, fraulein," said I, with apparent composure. "And what might your name be?" "It is Gretchen, if it please you," with a courtesy. I had a vague idea that this courtesy was made mockingly.
We could only see the roof of her cottage in the grove of trees. There is a new hotel somewhere along the lake; but we left that, with its modern equipments and electric lights, and went where we had been directed to the Hotel Rhiner.
