"You charming little fools," he said, "I don't cut into cataracts in such a hurry as that. I perform but one operations on you to-day. It is this!" He unceremoniously popped the morsel of chicken into Lucilla's mouth. "Aha! Bite him well. He is nice-goot! Now then! Sit down all of you. Lonch! lonch!" He was irresistible. We all sat down at table. The rest of us ate. Herr Grosse gobbled.
I knew at once it was the King of Prussia, who before the year was ended was to be crowned as Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse at Versailles. I was thoroughly scared, as I did not know that it was the habit of the King to stand in the window and good-naturedly greet the passer-by. That was my first sight of a real king. But there is another figure which I contemplate with more interest.
With all my heart I agreed to the arrangements as Grosse proposed them. "Gone, without coming to say good-bye! Gone, without even writing to me!" There was the first impression I produced on her, when I had done my best to account harmlessly for Oscar's absence. I had, as I thought, taken the shortest and simplest way out of the difficulty, by merely inverting the truth.
"Cataracts is the cause," answered Herr Grosse. "So far, I agree," said Mr. Sebright. "Cataract is the cause. "Cataracts is curable," pursued the German. "I agree again," continued the Englishman "with a reservation. Cataract is sometimes curable." "This cataracts is curable!" cried Herr Grosse. "With all possible deference," said Mr. Sebright, "I dispute that conclusion.
It was done before any of us had recovered the use of our senses. The whole horrible scene must have begun and ended in less than half a minute of time. The surgeon, who had run into the room after her, empty-handed, turned suddenly, and left it again; coming back with the bandage, left forgotten in the bed-room. Grosse was the first among us to recover his presence of mind.
I am so vexed and so angry! Miss Batchford has taken the alarm, and has insisted on writing, not only to Grosse, but to my father. In the present embittered state of my father's feelings against my aunt, he will either leave her letter unanswered, or he will offend her by an angry reply.
Still behind him was as unusually large young woman, fully a head taller than either of the two men, who had an abundance of jet black hair, and was dressed in a very rich robe and wrap, both of which were somewhat soiled and worn. "Signor R-r-r-r-icardo, der grosse tenore Mees-ter Burnit," introduced the rotund little German, with a deep bow commensurate with the greatness of the great tenor.
A little mysterious hoeing and manuring was all the abra cadabra presto-change, that I used, and lo! true to the label, they found for me 310 pounds of poitrine jaune grosse there, where it never was known to be, nor was before. These talismen had perchance sprung from America at first, and returned to it with unabated force.
And therefore it seemeth to be more then ignorance that men should attempt Nauigation in desperate clymates and through seas congeled that neuer dissolue, where the stiffnes of the colde maketh the ayre palpably grosse without certainty that the landes are disioyned.
There was, so far as passenger traffic was concerned, the rivalry for the blue ribbon of the sea the swiftest ocean carrier, a fight that was waged between Great Britain and Germany from the placid eighties to the nineties, when the Germans brought out the Deutschland, and later the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, the Kaiser Wilhelm II all champions whose laurels were to be snatched away by the Mauretania and the Lusitania the two speed queens when war ended competition of the sort.
