Athalie pretended to do this out of affection for her cousin, and the poor child had no idea how she was disfigured by it. Herr Katschuka undeceived her. "Fraülein Timéa, you need not regret this coiffure. It would suit you much better if you wore your hair quite plain; you have such lovely hair, that it is a sin to burn it with irons and smear it with pomade.
"Fraülein," answered Katschuka, with cold politeness, "I shall always be your devoted friend. The blow which fell on you struck me too we have both lost our all.

My profession imposes conditions on me which I can not fulfill: it is not allowed to those of us who have no private means to marry."
He could not tell Timéa of Therese and Noemi, and he could not tell them on the island that he was married.

Perhaps in this way some of the poor child's property may be saved. But I have a letter to deliver to you which was given me in Orsova." Katschuka read the letter, and then said to Timar, "Very good, my friend. Do your business in the town, but afterward come to me for half an hour; I live near the Anglia over the door hangs a shield with a large double eagle.
There is nothing easier than to turn the head of a girl of fifteen, who takes everything in earnest and believes the first man who tells her that she has pretty hands. And Herr Katschuka was just the man not to forgive himself if he came near a pretty girl without paying her attention. He paid court even to older women; that he could do without scruple.
