I promise that the Union Jack shall wave over our house, and conversation and the best old hock shall pour damnation upon the rebels. Do not forget old friends, neither their wives, as mine wishes nearly as ardently as myself to see you, or at least to see as quickly as possible a word of your handwriting. Sei gut und komm oder schreibe. Dein, V. BISMARCK.
If last week my Sollie didn't fall off the delivery-wagon and sprain his back!" "You don't say so!" "That same job as you got him two years ago so good he's kept, and now such a thing has to happen. Gott sei dank, he's up and out again, but I tell you it was a scare!" "I should say so. And how is Tillie?" "Mrs.

"Sei tshas! sei tshas! directly, directly!" called out Vatka; but he nevertheless finished his kwas, and wiped his mouth before he went to Matwei the butler to procure the silver salver on which Ivan the footman would carry the tumbler of water which Paul the valet had been ordered to bring.

"Uom, sei tu grande o vile? Mori, il saprai." Mean and great; both, I think, at once.
But she thought to herself: "I shall not feel, as I did last night, that I am going to sing merely to strangers. There will be one there who heard me sing to my dear father. I must try to recall the intonations that came so naturally last evening, and see whether I can act what I then felt." She seated herself at the piano, and began to sing, "Oh, di qual sei tu vittima."
