"Such tenderness touches us particularly when found, as in Körner, in union with manly and vigorous qualities perhaps, because it is a rare combination," said Mrs. Dudley. "Is it rare?" I asked doubtfully. "The results of my own observation have led me to believe that it is precisely in manly, vigorous, independent minds that we see the fullest development of our simple, natural, home-affections."
"Don't you remember," Miss Greene took the extra precaution to whisper it, "the talk we had at breakfast-time the first morning of my visit, when Aimee said you would be all the better for 'going it' occasionally?" Yes, slowly it came back to Mr. Korner. But she only said "going it," Mr. Korner recollected to his dismay. "Well, you've been 'going it," persisted Miss Greene.
Katherine's Docks one of the most bewildering places out of which he had ever tried to escape. Under a lamp-post in the Minories, it suddenly occurred to Mr. Korner that he was an unappreciated man. Mrs.
At this farmhouse, with Martinswand towering above it, and Zell a mile beyond, there lived, and lives still, a little boy who bears the old historical name of Findelkind, whose father, Otto Korner, is the last of a sturdy race of yeomen, who had fought with Hofer and Haspinger, and had been free men always.
"To keep our hands in, as you would say. You Americans are a brave people without the Schlager. But we fought that we might not become effete." It was then that Stephen ventured to ask a question that, had been long burning within him. "See here, Mr. Korner," said he, "how did Richter come by that scar? He always gets red when I mention it. He will never tell me."
We swore to live by the standards of the great Jahn, of whom you spoke. We swore to strive for the freedom of Germany with manly courage. And when we were not duelling with the nobles, we had Schlager-bouts among ourselves." "Broadswords?" exclaimed Stephen, in amazement. "Ja wohl," answered Korner, puffing heavily. The slit in his nose was plain even in the moonlight.
"I really do not think," said the bosom friend, "that I have ever laughed so much in all my life." "It was amusing. I laughed myself," admitted Mr. Korner. "At the same time I cannot help thinking that to treat drunkenness as a theme " "He wasn't drunk," argued Mrs. Korner, "he was just jovial." "My dear!" Mr. Korner Corrected her, "he simply couldn't stand."
"Greet the day with a smile and it will leave you with a blessing," was the motto Mrs. Korner, this day a married woman of six months and three weeks standing had heard her husband murmur before getting out of bed on precisely two hundred and two occasions. The Motto entered largely into the scheme of Mr. Korner's life.
"He was much more amusing than some people who can," retorted Mrs. Korner. "It is possible, my dear Aimee," her husband pointed out to her, "for a man to be amusing without being drunk; also for a man to be drunk without " "Oh, a man is all the better," declared Mrs. Korner, "for letting himself go occasionally." "My dear "
But, before taking the field, they wish to implore God's blessing at the altar, and on Sunday next all those who are already uniformed and equipped are to take the oath of war and be consecrated. Theodore Korner has written for the occasion a pious hymn, which all the volunteers will sing, and now how can you be so cruel as to prevent him from singing his own hymn with them?"
