With the full force of her nerves she resisted the echoes of Fraulein's onslaught, refusing to think of anything she had said and blotting out her image every time it rose. The essential was that she would be dismissed as Mademoiselle had been dismissed. That was the upshot of it all for her. Fraulein was a mad, silly, pious female who would send her away and go on glowering over the Bible.

He apologized profusely, and then made me wince again by referring to the miniature, with more apologies for looking at it, when he thought it necessary to take possession of it. "But we know the so-amiable Fraulein and Herr Pendennis so well; they have often stayed here," he explained.

There's Fräulein in the carriage too, but I wanted to ask all by myself. 'Pray step this way, said Caffyn, leading the way with mock politeness to a little sitting-room on the ground floor. 'I can't stay long, said Dolly. 'Mark isn't here I saw his face at the window upstairs. Mabel told me to see if he was quite well, and I want to ask him how he is and where he's been.

"I'll come in a second," said Miriam, adjusting hairpins. She was to read Goethe... with Fraulein Pfaff.... Fraulein knew she would be one of the few who would do for a Goethe reading. She reached the little room smiling with happiness. "Here she is," was Fraulein's greeting.

And he was always one that needed money. Some are, you know; and while I was thinking, and he was standing near me, the Fräulein came in; and and I don't wonder for poor Franz is not a pleasant-looking man now-a-days she was very angry, and called me a bold, bad girl, and said she could have no such goings on at the 'Halbmond, but would tell my master when he came home from the forest."

The struggle for existence. Fighting.... Fighting.... Fighting.... Everybody groping and fighting.... Fraulein.... Some said it was true... some not. They could not both be right. It was probably true... only old-fashioned people thought it was not. It was true. Just that monkeys fighting. But who began it? Who made Fraulein? Tough leathery monkey.... Then nothing matters.

Let the most important facts come first. The best beer in Munich is Spatenbräu; the best place to get it is at the Hoftheatre Café in the Residenzstrasse; the best time to drink it is after 10 P.M., and the best of all girls to serve it is Fräulein Sophie, that tall and resilient creature, with her appetizing smile, her distinguished bearing and her superbly manicured hands.

And, Fraulein, will you telephone old Mrs. McNab, and say that Mrs. Carr Boldt is lying down with a severe headache, and she won't be able to come in this morning? Thank you. And, Fraulein, telephone the yacht club, will you? And tell Mr. Mathews that Mrs. Carr-Boldt is indisposed and he'll have to come back this afternoon. I'll talk to him before the children's races. And one thing more!

Belleville then danced forward with great levity of manner to Fraulein Marshal, who stood by the side of her father; without saluting her, he seized her hand. "Come, ma toute belle," said he, "you have played the marble statue long enough for one day; it is time that you should awake to life in my arms.

It is better, is it not? All day you may rest and smoke!" Byrne led Harmony past the drunken Portier, who turned with caution and bowed after them. "Gute Nacht," he called. "Kuss die Hand, Fraulein. Four rooms and the salon and a bath of the finest." As they went up the Hirschengasse they could hear him pursuing his unsteady way down the street and singing lustily.
