"Then what do you want?" she asked in her short, unpleasant way, when he had reassured her. "I came up to see Heinz. And they tell me he is not here; and Frau Schulz sent me to you. Schwarz was asking for him. Is it true that he has gone away?" "Yes, it's true." "Where to? Will he be away long?" "How should I know?" she cried rudely. "Am I his keeper?
Petersburg, where he undertook the translation of the Bible into the Mandschu-Tartar language, and issued in 1835, through Schulz and Beneze, his “Targum; or Metrical Translations from Thirty Languages and Dialects.” While in Russia, he made many friends amongst the nobility there, who frequently invited him to their country homes.
Greve!" he cried as Robin, who was back in the driving-seat, was releasing the brake. "Did you have the wire from the Yard saying I was coming?" he asked. "Probably I beat the telegraph, though. I came by air!" Then he tipped his hat respectfully at Herr Schulz. "This is Detective-Inspector Manderton, of Scotland Yard, sir," said Robin. The big man beamed a smile of friendly recognition. "Mr.
Christophe rose to it like a fish out of the water and shouted the following bars at the top of his voice. He turned gladly. His face was red and there was grass in his hair. They called to each other by name and ran together. Schulz strode across the ditch by the road; Christophe leaped the fence. They shook hands warmly and went back to the house laughing and talking loudly.
As they slowed down at the gate in the side road Herr Schulz tapped him on the shoulder. "Better leave the car here and put the lights out," he counselled. "And Miss Trevert should stay if the doctor here would remain to look after her ..." "You think there'll be a scrap?" whispered the doctor. "With a man like Marbran," returned the Chief, "you never know what may happen ..."
But the terrible boy, who was in fine form, first struck two or three chords on the piano, shut it abruptly, looked out of the window, and asked if they could not go for a walk until supper. The country attracted him. Kunz showed little enthusiasm, but Schulz at once thought it an excellent idea and declared that he must show their guest the walk round the Schoenbuchwaelder.
Master Schulz was always trying to keep the spear back, but Veitli had become quite brave while behind, and wanted to dash forward and cried, "Strike home, in every Swabian's name, Or else I wish ye may be lame." But Hans knew how to meet this, and said, "Thunder and lightning, it's fine to prate, But for dragon-hunting thou'rt aye too late." Michal cried,

It was beginning to dawn on her that Mr. Schulz did not seem to know anything about the object of her visit, but, on the contrary, was seeking to elicit this from her by a process of adroit cross-examination. She was rather puzzled, therefore, but also somewhat relieved when he said: "I can give my opinion better after you have shown me the letter ..."
Kunz was shining and recognized him as a brother. Salome's large face was beaming happily. At first she had been deceived when Christophe came. Schulz had spoken about him so much beforehand that she had fancied him as an Excellency, laden with letters and honors. When she saw him she cried out: "What! Is that all?"
He looked into his honest eyes: "Oh!" he said, "you are younger than I." Schulz laughed aloud and spoke of his old body and his infirmities. "Ta, ta, ta!" said Christophe, "I don't mean that; I know what I am saying. It is true, isn't it, Kunz?" Kunz agreed emphatically. Schulz tried to find the same indulgence for his piano.
