"Where then?" "In the garden of Helenenthal." A surpressed murmur arose, which grew into a tumult when old Douglas, who had sprung up from his chair, cried out in a voice that penetrated through the court, "What were you doing there?" Old Meyerhofer uttered a curse. Elsbeth turned pale, and her head sank heavily against the back of the bench. The president seized the bell.
It was a miserable rickety cart which brought the Meyerhofer family to the town, for the better vehicles had all been burned. Paul had made it as comfortable as he could. Over the truss of straw, which served for a seat, he had spread an old horse-cloth, which in the course of years had become torn and discolored.
What could people say? "'Meyerhofer is a brave fellow, they would say; 'he is not ashamed of his misfortune; he looks at it with a certain irony. Pah, really one should look at it with irony; that is the only sublime view of the world one should whistle at it!" and he uttered a shrill whistle, so that the sick woman started up in her bed.
"Paul can drive," cried Meyerhofer, carelessly. He thanked them and said that his coat was too shabby, and also he wanted to look after the workmen, who were to come at sunset. The next morning haymaking was to begin. The twins looked at him, laid their heads together, and giggled; then, when he went towards the door, they hung round him, and Katie whispered, "Listen; we know something."
Paul saluted her very shyly; he felt as if he were no longer fit for her; but she rose from her seat, walked a few steps towards him, and shook his hand heartily before everybody's eyes. During the ensuing lesson a sheet of paper was circulated among the boys which caused much mirth. On it was written, with all sorts of flourishes: "Paul Meyerhofer, Elsbeth Douglas, Betrothed."
"Just look, Meyerhofer is sweethearting!" cried the elder Erdmann, who had hidden behind the church door, through the crack of which he wanted to tickle his companions with a little straw. Elsbeth and Paul looked at each other in surprise, for they did not know the meaning of this phrase; but as they felt that it must signify something very bad they blushed and separated.
"Did you ever observe how, through his study windows, you could see almost everything going on at the American naval base " "I have nothing to say," Schwinn interrupted excitedly. Among the men sent here directly by Rudolf Hess, Hitler's right-hand man, is a former German-American businessman named Meyerhofer.
"My honored guests, cried Leo, climbing on a chair," this pattern boy, called Paul Meyerhofer, has in the most inconsiderate manner withdrawn from the verdict of the assembly. As he foresaw, in his feeling of unworthiness, that most of the refusals would be gathered upon his undignified head, he has in most reprehensible cowardice "
Well, it could not be denied any longer: Meyerhofer had sold almost the whole harvest the thrashed corn as well as the amount still to be thrashed to the Jew for the old worn-out engine. Triumphantly the latter drove away with the beautiful full sacks. And this was only a sort of premium; towards Christmas he would come and fetch the rest.
Paul encouraged them, and refused the sausage which they generously offered him. His mother had retired to a corner, was trembling, and said, from time to time, "What may they be wanting with me?" "Mr. Meyerhofer, junior!" sounded from the door.
