Munich is the real capital of modern art, and contains more magnificent public buildings than any city of the same extent in the world. Vulgar figures again: my expenses in Munich amounted to eight guldens, forty kreutzers, Bavarian or Reich’s money, which will yield, as nearly as the intricacies of German coinage will allow of the calculation, fifteen shillings and fourpence.
Gutel now gave the bookbinder a general idea of the letter she wished written, and inquired the price. "That will not depend upon the length of the epistle," he replied, "but upon its quality." Thereupon he read aloud to her his tariff. 1st. A friendly letter ....................10 kreutzers 2d. A kind and well-intentioned letter.15 " 3d. A tender letter ...................... 20 " 4th.
"He's such a dear." "No, no! I am not going to have my little hunchback and her cat outdone," he refused; and then he was about to yield. "Hold on!" said Stoller, assuming the host. "I got the change." He gave the boy a few kreutzers, when Mrs.

I have made a bargain with every hotel-keeper or inn-keeper in the whole county for that one day, and the voters may revel as they please at their own expense; that is, a dinner may be had for two kreutzers, a supper for three, and the wine will be included in that price. Who can forbid an inn-keeper to sell cheap viands? You will have nothing to do with the whole business.

And the Frau Professor, who averred with rhythmic iteration that teaching such a child was far, far worse than breaking stones on a high-road; in what stony regions may she have found an honoured stony grave?
Here all ways possible to be traveled were open to the public; here was plenty of fresh air and no lack of elbow-room; here an unsophisticated American could travel without being persecuted every ten minutes by applications from distinguished officers in livery for six kreutzers; here an honest Californian could chew tobacco when he felt disposed, and relieve his mind by an occasional oath when he considered it essential to a vigorous expression of his thoughts.
"You'll allow, neighbor, that we were never nearer all going to destruction together than we were to-day." "There's some truth in that," answered Fabula. "But why should we try the experiment whether we could get drowned on St. Michael's day?" "H'm!" said Johann, and took a short pull at his brandy-flask. "What salary do you get, sir?"
