Happily they had in common the one trait of perfect amiability, and she knew no more how to be jealous than he to be constant. "Lili was easily won," he said. "Other things being equal, people of six prefer that man who is tallest." "Philip is not so very tall," said the eldest of the boys, who was listening eagerly, and growing rapidly. "No," said Philip, meekly.
You wore born in the age of harmony, you will remain on the side of harmony. But a truce to talk. Let us go. Come, you will hear Lili Kerth; we shall sup together." "Come, we have a place in the carriage for you," said the baron, supporting young Darvid's invitation. Kranitski grew as radiant as if a sun-ray had fallen on his face.
"Oh, do tell us again about your dear friend Lili, mamma," exclaimed Paula, who had often heard her mother speak of this intimate friendship, and had indeed formed her own ideal upon that model. Lili also joined her sister in begging for the story, and even more urgently, for she knew nothing about this friend, although she bore the same name.
"Come papa, I beg that you will do the rest of your greetings in the garden, where a most astonishing reception awaits you." But his words cost him dear, for Wili and Lili sprang upon him as he spoke, pinching, pounding and thumping him to give him to understand that the "surprise" was not a thing to be talked about beforehand. He defended himself to the best of his ability.
I kept it carefully put away for many years, and then in some way I lost sight of it. I thought it was lost forever. Lately I have not thought of it at all, but telling you the story of my early friendship, brought it again to my mind. Where did you find it, my son?" "We found it!" cried Wili and Lili triumphantly.

"So the years passed, and no thought of coming sorrow and separation crossed our young lives, until one day, when we were nearly twelve years old, my father told me I remember the very spot in the garden where we were standing at that moment that Mr.
Do tell me all about it, clearly, so that I can understand." And Wili gave as good an account as he could, of what he and Lili had been about that morning, and of their being so frightened at the cry of pain which followed the shooting of the arrow, that they had run away as fast as possible.
Lili got into the new ark, and then Wili, and then they lifted in the cat and the dog. Noah and his wife sat side by side, and rejoiced over their safety and over the delightful voyage they should make on the rising waters of the flood, as the stream from the spout flowed merrily in upon the wash-house floor. The water rose very fast.
"I was at Neuchatel two months; but I had no adventures. I lodged with a good Pasteur, who taught me geology and German." "That is suspicious," said Kate. "Had he a daughter passing fair?" "Indeed he had." "And you taught her English? That is what these beguiling youths always do in novels." "Yes." "What was her name?" "Lili." "What a pretty name! How old was she?" "She was six."
You can tell by his gloves, by his waistcoat, that he is a working man, the son of a man that kept a pot-house somewhere in Germany; he has not the instincts of a gentleman; he drinks beer, and he smokes smokes? ah! madame, twenty-five pipes a day!... What would have become of poor Lili? ... It makes me shudder even now to think of it. God has indeed preserved us!
