But what gave me great satisfaction was to note over these trees to the eastward a two-humped mountain, not more than six or seven miles distant the very one I had mislaid the day before. Here was reality and a chance of getting back to civilisation.
As to music, the Berlin Opera was then at the height of its reputation, the leading singer being the famous Joanna Wagner. But my greatest satisfaction was derived from the ``Liebig Classical Concerts. These were, undoubtedly, the best instrumental music then given in Europe, and a small party of us were very assiduous in our attendance.
On the journey nothing remarkable occurred, and on their arrival at the coast they found a vessel ready to receive them, when the wind proving fair, a short time carried them safely to Bussorah, where Mazin had the satisfaction of finding his mother alive, though greatly wasted with constant grief and lamentation for his loss.
She soon solved, to her own satisfaction and Honey-Sweet's, the meaning of the name 'Home for Girls. "It's one of the words that means it isn't the thing it says," she explained. "Like butterfly.

Muller had learned this rare lesson, and in this case he says: "I had a secret satisfaction in the greatness of the difficulties which were in the way. So far from being cast down on account of them, they delighted my soul; for I only desired to do the will of the Lord in this matter." Here is revealed another secret of holy serving.
At one dinner he had the satisfaction of making three of these terrible mistakes. He responds to the health of General Mouravieff, Governor of the Province, to that of President Buchanan, and to that of "our guests." We should like to have been present at this display, provided we could have been speech-proofed, like the Russians in their ignorance of English.
