With lowered head she looked up at Tonio Kröger out of black, swimming eyes. He turned away ... Here stood Hans and Ingeborg quite close to him. He had sat down beside her, she was perhaps his sister, and surrounded by other red-cheeked children of men they ate and drank, chattered merrily, called out teasing remarks to each other with ringing voices, and let their laughter peal out.
Tonio Kröger looked over their shoulders to see where they were reading. It was a good passage, a point and effect which he had worked out superbly. He was content with himself. "You see," he said. "There stands my name. I wrote this, and now it is being published, you understand." "Well, that is sufficient," said Mr.
Can you lay hold of one sensible idea, Kröger, can you work out the tiniest point or effect with any calmness, when you are feeling an indecent prickling in your blood and are upset by a whole mass of irrelevant sensations which so soon as you test them are unmasked as unmistakably trivial and wholly unusable stuff? As for me, I am going to the café now.
They were dancing the quadrille. The music began, and the couples bowed and marched past each other. The mail clerk called the figures, and he did so, by heaven, in French, and brought out the nasal sounds in an incomparably distinguished fashion. Ingeborg Holm was dancing right in front of Tonio Kröger, in the set just next to the door.
"Is it you at last, Hans?" said Tonio Kröger, who had long been waiting on the drive; and with a smile he stepped up to his friend, who was just coming out of the gate in conversation with other comrades, and who was on the point of going off with them. "What is it?" asked the latter, looking at Tonio; "Oh yes, that's so; well, let's take a little walk, then."
Tonio Kröger answered him. "Is that true?" said the policeman, straightening up and suddenly opening his nostrils as far as he could ... "Quite true," answered Tonio Kröger. "And what are you?" Tonio Kröger swallowed and named his calling with firm voice. Mr. Seehaase raised his head and looked curiously up into his face. "Hm," said the policeman.
So this is the People's Library? Would you permit me to look into the collection a little?" "Willingly," said the official, winking still more vehemently ... "Certainly, that is every one's privilege. Please look around ... Should you care for a catalogue?" "Thank you," said Tonio Kröger, "I can easily find my bearings."
For several days it had been dark and rainy; but now the sky, like a taut canopy of pale-blue silk, rose in shimmering purity over sea and land, and the sun's disk, beflecked and surrounded by cloud-strips shot with red and gold, was rising impressively out of the sea, which with its flickering ripples seemed to quiver and to glow beneath it ... So the day began, and in bewildered happiness Tonio Kröger flung himself into his clothes, breakfasted downstairs on the verandah before any one else, swam some distance out into the Sound from the little wooden bath-house, and then walked for an hour along the shore.
That is neutral ground, untouched by the change of seasons, you see; it represents, so to speak, the remote and elevated sphere of the literary, where one is capable of none but distinguished ideas ... And he went to the café, and perhaps I ought to have gone along." Lisaveta was amused. "That is good, Tonio Kröger. That about 'indecent prickling' is good.
He hurried around and invited every one to engage partners, pushed and cleared away chairs and glasses with the aid of the waiter, gave orders to the musicians, and took some awkward ones, who did not know where to go, by the shoulders and pushed them along before him. What were they going to do? Groups of eight couples were forming sets ... A terrible memory made Tonio Kröger blush.
