"There's no harm in sending off those telegrams, anyway. I'll get away and put them through," Johnson said as he went to the door. He stood for a moment looking out along the road. "I fancy that's Mrs. Burke coming," he called back over his shoulder to Eustace. Soden, Allnut, and Brennan, at the mention of the name, moved towards the door, and Harding came round the counter to join them.
He read them twelve specimens; he aroused very little mirth, however; only Sanin smiled, from politeness, and he himself, Herr Klueber, after each anecdote, gave vent to a brief, business-like, but still condescending laugh. At twelve o'clock the whole party returned to Soden to the best tavern there. They had to make arrangements about dinner.
Under these more hopeful auspices I spent the months from summer to autumn, when rehearsals were to begin. It was a great boon to me that I was just then able to make provision for Minna's health, as the doctors had urgently prescribed her a visit to the baths of Soden, near Frankfort.
Don't forget to have that horse in sharp at four I don't like waiting." He limped away down the road and Soden turned back into his house. "Old Dudgeon don't seem to have lost much of his sourness since he was laid out," he said to his barman as he passed. "He's never been inside this door since I've been here, and they say he hadn't been in for years before then. Queer old chap he is.
The chairman of the committee was Mrs. George A. Soden, first vice-president, and it was largely through her efforts and the contributions of her husband that the fund was raised. Not only the legislators who had voted for the bill but also a number who voted against it sent money to help defend the law.
"Have you heard the latest?" he inquired as he joined them. "What's that? A clue? Have the police got a clue?" Soden exclaimed. "There's a clue of a sort, but the police haven't got it. Davy Freeman has been giving us a new theory. He says old Dudgeon's at the back of it all." "I'm not sure he's far wrong, Mr. Gale, to tell you the truth," Soden said in his slow manner.
Soden, incidentally, knew of seven different "air-boiling" furnaces, some with four and some with eight tuyères, but he also neglected to report on the use of the metal. Bessemer, op. cit.
Even during a long ramble before dinner about the wooded hills and valleys behind Soden, even when enjoying the beauties of nature, he treated nature itself with the same condescension, through which his habitual magisterial severity peeped out from time to time.
At the time he arrived Patsy was making ineffectual attempts to mount his horse for the ride which led to so dramatic a turning in Durham's romance, having just staggered out of the bar highly indignant because Soden had refused to allow him to have anything more to drink on the premises. "Have you a horse I can borrow from you, Soden? My old crock has gone in the off hind-leg and wants a rest.
Learning, however, that she was in Baden, I made my way towards Soden, whence I fetched Minna for a further tour, accompanied by her recently acquired friend, Mathilde Schiffner. We touched at Frankfort, where I met my brother Albert for the first time since leaving Dresden, as he also happened to be passing through this city.
