He took her father and herself to the theater not too lavishly. He told Claire in a voice not too serious that she was his helmed Athena, his rose of all the world. He informed her of his substantial position not too obviously. And he was so everlastingly, firmly, quietly, politely, immovably always there.
And there he sat as immovably as if he had gone back to the hydropathic establishment, and were in the enjoyment of a sitz-bath! Fred stood as if he had been turned to stone, and felt as though he were suffering from a douche-bath, for his dear aunt was clutching him tightly and scolding him to her heart's content: "The dragon has caught you now my boy! Yes, the dragon has caught you!"
Els, with a throbbing heart, felt that nothing which this man advocated could be wrong, and that whatever he recommended would be sure of acceptance; for he stood amongst his young and elderly fellow directors of the Nuremberg republic like an immovably steadfast guardian of duty and law, who had grown grey in the atmosphere of honesty and honour.

At the first knock there was a sudden cessation of the hurried whisperings and turning of the doorknob. "Mrs. Saltillo, are you there? Are you frightened?" she called. "Mrs. Saltillo"!

It was not Eva, for she sat on the grave of her brother! she sat there immovably upon the earth, and resembled a ghost. The churchyard was, with this exception, deserted. The figure which had entered before them, softly approached the grave, and remained standing at the distance of a few paces. "Eva!" said a beseeching mournful voice; it was Leonore.
