She had received notice that morning that three pupils of whom she was proud, who did the school credit, were to leave next quarter. She had had a "brush" with the German governess, and Fraeulein had been insolent. But Fraeulein was valuable, and Miss Chaplin had bottled her wrath, to empty it on the innocent head of Deleah.
My heart hung upon the pauses in her song; it beat, as I read, as if I had been running. I would forget to breathe between the pages. One day Fraeulein came in and found me in the back chapters of 'Anna Karenina. She had been playing one of Lizst's rhapsodies the twelfth.
"I know, Fraeulein," he said, "That you are one of those who dislike me, and seek to do me harm. I am sorry. It is long since I discarded a youthful belief that it was possible to get on in life without arousing ill feeling. Believe me, it is impossible even to hold one's own in this world without making enemies. There are two sides to every question, Fraeulein remember that."
He passed her: then he stopped, turned, and without stopping to think: "You can't get a seat, Fraeulein?" he asked point-blank. She blushed and said with a foreign accent: "No, sir." "I have a box which I don't know what to do with. Will you make use of it with me?" She blushed again and thanked him and said she could not accept.
In speech and in conduct you are alike detestable. 'Good-bye, girls, cried Ida, lightly: 'you all know how much harm my speech and my example have done you. Good-bye, Fraeulein; don't you be afraid of dismissal, you are too well worth your salt. Polly Cobb, the brewer's daughter, sat near the door by which Ida had to make her exit.
"You do not remember me, Herr Professor," said Marguerite, holding out her hand with a frank laugh. "You have forgotten Dresden and the chemistry classes at Fraeulein Weber's?" "No, Fraeulein; I remember those classes," the professor answered, with a grave bow. "And you remember the girl who dropped the sulphuric acid into the something of potassium?
As Christophe had clearly shown at once, with a rudeness in which there was no shade of malice, that, he could without regret dispense with the society of the banker, and that the society of Fraeulein Judith Mannheim would serve perfectly to fill his evening, old Lothair in some amusement had taken his seat by the fire: he read his paper, listening vaguely and ironically to Christophe's crotchets and his queer music, which sometimes made him laugh inwardly at the idea that there could be people who understood it and found pleasure in it.
Pray don't begin to speak of money in that disparaging sort of way, Elma; it ill suits your circumstances, my love. But now, dear, I am sorry to disappoint you I have heard of an admirable escort; a certain Fraeulein Van Brunt is going to the Harz Mountains next Monday; it will therefore be necessary for me to take you back to Buckinghamshire to-night, Elma."
'Too philosophic, you mean, said Fraeulein. 'I love philosophy. "Unless philosophy can make a Juliet, it helps not, it avails not," said a manly voice from the river close by, and Brian Wendover shot his boat in against the bank and leapt up from among the rushes like a river-god.
Fraeulein shook her head dolefully, and admitted that in Miss Pew's social code such a derogation from maiden dignity would be, in a manner, death an offence beyond all hope of pardon. 'Hang Miss Pew! exclaimed Brian. 'If Miss Pew were Minerva, with all the weight and influence of her father, the Thunderer, to back her up, I would defy her.
