The next novel, The Sons of Haindl , a collection of similar types of character in Viennese surroundings, is too much of a repetition not to have proved a disappointment; as was also The German Sorrow . In the later Viennese novels Elisabeth Kött and The Story of Hannah and her Four Lovers Bartsch lost much of his original vivacity and purity of style, and the novel Schwammerl , which revolves about the figure of the composer Schubert, falls in with the vogue of that novel of the artistic life which has of late been cultivated in somewhat routine fashion and to which to mention only a few names Goethe, Schiller, Grillparzer, Lenau, Wagner, and Heine in his last years, succumbed.
"And are you very tired?" said Janet Macleod, in that soft voice of hers that all children loved. "Yes," said the child. "Kott bless me!" cried Hamish, "I did not know that!" and therewith the old man caught up Johnny Wickes as if he had been a bit of ribbon, and flung him on to his shoulder, and marched off to Castle Dare.
Therefore Ludwig Tieck first looked upon Lady Macbeth as a tender, loving wife. From this time on there arose critics and even poets, who in the same way wished to wash her clean. I will cite the two most important, Friedrich Theodor Vischer and Rudolf Hans Bartsch. R. H. Bartsch goes much further in his romance, "Elisabeth Kött."

But it was, to Mr. Mackenzie's rare delight, a right good joyous tune, and it was meant as a welcome to Sheila; and forthwith he caught the white-haired piper by the shoulder and dragged him in, and said, "Put down your pipes and come into the house, John put down your pipes and tek off your bonnet, and we shall hef a good dram together this night, by Kott!

Smith to me, while she whipped her bonnet ribbons into a bow, she cried, with shaking voice and streaming eyes: "Oh, sank Kott! sank Kott! it iss only se yellow feveh." No sick man could have been better cared for than was the entomologist at our neighbor's over the way.
Whereat, remembering how she had formerly glozed and gilded the entomologist's unthrift, I remarked, one-fourth in play, three-fourths in earnest, "A good plain business man isn't the least noble work of God, after all."
