As the last of the carriages with which he had parted, disappeared on the other side of the bridge the emperor drew a long breath and looked radiant with satisfaction. "Let us wait," said he, "until the dust of my imperial magnificence is laid, before we cross the bridge to seek lodgings for the night. Meanwhile, Rosenberg, give me your arm and let us walk along the banks of the Rhine."
Mandoline would not produce the missing hat, and it was no light matter for Dotty to go down stairs, among the noisy, quarrelsome children, and beg the severe Mrs. Rosenberg to take her part. If she did so, perhaps the woman would pelt her with the steel thimble. Perhaps, too, she would say Mandoline might keep the hat.
There lies a kingdom neither larger nor more populous than Germany; a kingdom which rules us by its industry and caprices, and is great by reason of its unity, because its millions of men are under the sway of one monarch." "And yet it was once with France as it is to-day with Germany," said Count Rosenberg.
Is it not pitiable that each one in his principality is equal in power to the Emperor of Austria!" "Yes, indeed," said Rosenberg with a sigh, "Germany swarms with little princes!" "Too many little princes," echoed Joseph, "and therefore their lord and emperor is curtailed by so much of his own lawful rights, and Germany is an empty name among nations!
The captain told me he had made a detailed survey of part of the south coast, and if the coal arrived should go away at once to Humboldt Pay, in longitude 141° east, which is the line up to which the Dutch claim New Guinea. On board the tender I found a brother naturalist, a German named Rosenberg, who was draughtsman to the surveying staff.

"That depends," Lilian Rosenberg said. "If I could stop them without running any risk of losing my post, then I would probably try to stop them, but if stopping them meant being 'sacked, I most certainly shouldn't.
They want to see which of us do the best work and to determine whether any of us at all can do good enough for their wants." "Ow!" shrieked O'Grady. "Furthermore, old Rosenberg has proposed to cut down the appropriation for decorations from twenty-five thousand to four. If they're bad, after all, so much less will the loss be." "Ow!" shrieked O'Grady again, as he tried to bolt past.
"I have come entirely of my own accord to plead the cause of one who is seriously ill possibly dying!" "Seriously ill! possibly dying!" Lilian Rosenberg said incredulously, nevertheless, turning pale. "Mr. Davenport is surely not as bad as all that!" "When did you see him last?" Miss Templeton asked. "A fortnight ago," Lilian Rosenberg replied. "I have been inundated with work the past two weeks."
Suddenly poor Solly Rosenberg dropped his oar, exclaiming, "There, it's of no use; my arms are giving out!" Freddy Jackson held out a few moments longer, then dropped his oar also, with a look of utter hopelessness. "Why don't you keep a pullin', boys?" said Johnny, dipping in his useless little paddle. The boat whirled about like an egg-shell, completely at the mercy of the waves.
