Didn't do anything else. My mother was a house girl. The kids learned her everything they learned in school. She knew everything. My father died when I was young. My mother lived till she was eighty. But the time she was fifty, I bought her a home and sat her down on Pulaski Street in that home. And that is why I have so little trouble. "My ma belonged to Hoffman. He sold her to Wiley Adams.
Hoffman had been praising me to the Countess de Paris to such a degree that she was fired with ambition to play against a "champion" of the first water, When we appeared on the ground I noticed that the Countess had a small ivory mallet. "This," I said to myself, "is a foregone conclusion; any one who plays with a fancy mallet, and that of ivory, is sure to be beaten."
We shall always be glad to see him." Here Phil took his cap and prepared to depart. "Good-by," he said in English. "I thank you all for your kindness." "Will you come again?" said Mrs. Hoffman. "We shall be glad to have you." "Do come," pleaded Jimmy, who had taken a fancy to the dark-eyed Italian boy, whose brilliant brown complexion contrasted strongly with his own pale face and blue eyes.
He suddenly remembered his last agreement with his prospective client, that if anything unforeseen occurred, Clayton would write or telegraph to his comrade at the Detroit Club, and so, Witherspoon added a few words of direction to the secretary, to his request that Clayton be bidden to an "Alpha Delta Phi" secret reunion at Room 586, Hoffman.
Now he doesn't like to be beaten, and the padrone gives harder beatings than you do, mother." "I presume so," said Mrs. Hoffman, smiling. "I do not think I am very severe." "No, you spoil the rod and spare the child." "Is Phil going to stay in the city?" "No; the padrone would get hold of him if he did. He is going to New Jersey to make his fortune." "But he will need a fiddle."
Margaret is still handsome and aristocratic. Dr. Hoffman long ago gave up practice, his property interests increased so rapidly. Their sons and daughters are of the higher society order, intellectual, fine and noble, and a power in the land. One daughter has married an Englishman of rank, the other is the wife of a Bishop. Margaret is serene and satisfied, and still very fond of her little sister.
That was Friday, and the following Sunday Dr. Hoffman marched into the parlor with a vital at-home step. Margaret was up-stairs. Hanny sat in her little rocker reading her Sunday-school book. He smiled and came over to her, took away her book, and clasping both hands drew her up, seated himself, and her on his knee before she could make any resistance.
But this distanced them all Steve and Dolly Beekman were going to be married! The Beekmans had been staying up in the country house. All the girls had been married there. There were to be five bridesmaids. Annette and Margaret were among them. Joe was to be best man and stand with Miss Annette. Doctor Hoffman was to stand with Margaret.
For two days they went on together, a very happy party, for the major called in Hoffman to see his friend and describe the places through which they passed. An arrangement very agreeable to all, as Karl was a favorite, and every one missed him when away. At Lausanne they waited while he crossed the lake to secure rooms at Vevay.
Here in my time, were Lepsius and Curtius, Virchow and Hoffman, Ranke and Mommsen, the world's first scholars in the past and present.
