"Very well," said Mr. Wenzel, desperately. "I believe the verse reads as follows:" "'Triumph! triumph! es siegt die gute Sache! Die Turkenknechte flieh'n! Laut tont der Donner der gerechten Sache, Nach Wien und nach Berlin." The thunders of the just cause Reach Vienna and Berlin!"
In one village some German soldier wrote in chalk on the door of a house where he had been well received, "Güte Leute hier," and these poor people got chalk and tried to copy the difficult German writing on every door in the street. I am afraid that did not save them, however, when their turn came.
Ein Theil von jener Kraft, Die stets das Böse will, und stets das Gute schafft, . . . . . . . . . . . . . der Geist der stets verneint.
They burned that town not by accident of shell fire and general conflagration, but methodically, house by house. In the midst of charred ruins I came on single houses standing, many of them, and on their doors was German writing in chalk "Nicht Verbrennen. Gute Leute wohnen hier."
The ancient servitor, however, knew little or nothing of those he served; his master was the honourable baron; but of his name he was ignorant; his mistress was young; they had not been many months there; they knew no one had no visitors he had heard they were English, but did not know it himself; they were "Gute leute," "good people," and that was enough for him.
We walked home as far as his house, or rather his apartment over one of the village stores; and as he mounted to it by an outside staircase, we exchanged a joyous "Gute Nacht," and I kept on homeward through the dark and silent village street, which was really not that street, but some other, where Heine had been, some street out of the Reisebilder, of his knowledge, or of his dream.
"We came to tell our little friend good-by," "And to wish her Gute Reise!" They spoke in a kind of duet. "Here are a few poor blossoms from our garden " "That you forget not the old people " "And a trifle of Kuchen that I made myself " "And this I have carved for you, to put your pens on "
My new city which I start only three miles below, and call by my name my gute name which when I was useful was so popular is neglected, and everybody flock here. I once was rich; now soon I am bankrupt; all because my men discovered this gold. This gold, I hate it. It will be the ruin of this country." "Well, captain, I'm sorry to hear this from you," said Mr. Grigsby.
Back in the Hungarian village she had fallen in love with the son of a rich farmer, quite in Hermann and Dorothea fashion; but alas, in this case there had been no "gute verstandige Mutter" and no "wurdiger Pfarrer" instead there had been a hateful step-mother, and so the "treffliches Madchen" had had to come away.
Is it to show the Duke of Kingston that he cannot live without her? a dangerous experiment! which may possibly convince him that he can. There is a trick no doubt in it; but what, I neither know nor care; you did very well to show her civilities, 'cela ne gute jamais rien'. I will go to my waters, that is, the Bath waters, in three weeks or a month, more for the sake of bathing than of drinking.
