"Indeed," the manager answered, now beginning to be really interested for the Cliffords were clients too, and it behoves a banker to know everything about everybody's business. "So Mrs. Clifford had an ancestress who was a Roumanian, had she? Well, I've noticed at times her complexion looked very southern and gipsy-like distinctly un-English."
Rojanow paid no heed to his friend's reproof; his eyes were fastened on his uniform with consuming jealousy. "You are already in the service I see," he said hastily. "I, too, am anxious to enter the German army." Nothing he could have said would have surprised Egon so effectually. In great astonishment he stepped back a pace. "In the German army? You, a Roumanian?"
Behind the Roumanian orchestra was sitting a stout, whiskered man, probably the father, and perhaps even the grandfather, of a numerous family, and with all his might was whistling into seven little pipes glued together. As it was difficult for him, probably, to move this instrument between his lips, he therefore, with an unusual rapidity, turned his head now to the left, now to the right.
I hastened to add: "Mademoiselle Zinca certain circumstances have brought to my knowledge the journey of a young Roumanian " "Kinko my poor Kinko they have found him?" she asks in a trembling voice. "No no " say I, hesitating. "No one knows except myself. I often visited him in the luggage-van at night; we were companions, friends. I took him a few provisions "

Immediately after the outbreak of war Bratianu began his game, which consisted of entrenching the Roumanian Government firmly and willingly in a position between the two groups of Powers, and bandying favours about from one to the other, reaping equal profits from each, until the moment when the stronger of the two should be recognised as such and the weaker then attacked.
The heads of banking establishments and great industries are either Teutons or friends of Teutons. Nearly every big enterprise, commercial and industrial, was launched and kept afloat by capital from the Fatherland. The Discount Bank in Berlin has a vast cellar filled with Roumanian bonds, shares and other securities.
The searchlights then came into play. Sweeping the heavens from east to west, from north to south, they searched the firmament, but could not find the Zeppelin. Was it really there, or was the whole thing due to excited Roumanian nerves? "Suddenly a sound was heard: the noise of the propeller overhead. It sounded so near in the clear, starry night, we felt we must be able to see it.
Similarly, in the Latin elements of their dictionary, Roumanian patriots find convincing evidence of their Latin ancestry, and finally prove that they are the lineal descendants of the Dacian legions of Emperor Trajan. The Roumanian language is a composite language like English.
He stood for one moment now, in a window recess with his brother-in-law, the head forester, and asked casually, while he glanced indifferently over the heads of the guests: "Who is it Prince Adelsberg has with him? Do you know?" "You mean the young Roumanian? No. I see him to-day for the first time; but I have heard about him before.
