What an unreal contrast between the past and the present! And why was Stoss receiving such homage? The psychology of certain mass demonstrations has yet to be written. What could the applause have been intended to signify? "We are grateful to God that he rescued you.
I really had to give her one over her head." "Yes," said Wendler, "what is a man to do in a case like that? Here's to you, gentlemen!" All touched glasses. Frederick turned pale, and the others laughed heartily. "By the way, Doctor von Kammacher," said Stoss, "I just thought of that Hahlström girl. Really, you ought to persuade her to come to an agreement with Webster and Forster.
She and Stoss had been engaged for the same time, which was already past. With the uncertainty in her heart as to her father's fate, she said she could not possibly dance; while Arthur Stoss declared if he got there in time, he would appear for his number that very evening. "I've already lost two evenings," he said, "at a round five hundred dollars an evening.
There was betting as to the number of the pilot-boat that would come to meet the Hamburg, when suddenly it appeared hard by, with the number "25" decipherable on its sail. Arthur Stoss had won. Almost choking with laughter, he raked in a considerable sum, and Jacob Fleischmann envied him with comically obvious greed.
Among the men with whom Dürer found congenial companionship were Adam Krafft, the sculptor; Veit Stoss, whose exquisite carvings in wood may reflect in some measure in the wild luxuriance of the imagination which they display, the restless, "dare-devil" spirit with which his biographers invest him; Peter Vischer, the bronze founder; and last but not least.

Frederick reflected and said, "No, they weren't." "I am of the same impression," said Stoss. "The sailors declare they know nothing about it." "We carried out whatever orders we received," said the sailors. Fleischmann put in his word: "The bulkheads were not closed down. I never saw the captain, and I don't know what sort of man he was. But the bulkheads were not closed.
Every broken bit of straw that thrust its graceful, fuzzy head from between the rough bars of the manger, every twisted knot of grass, every gnarl and break in the wood itself, had been wrought with the tender accuracy of the true artist, who finds nothing too simple for his utmost care and skill. Veit Stoss drew a heavy breath and turned to his companion.
The city, as I said, lives upon the memory of what it has been, and trades upon relics of its former fame. What it would have been without Albrecht Durer, and Adam Kraft the stone-mason, and Peter Vischer the bronze-worker, and Viet Stoss who carved in wood, and Hans Sachs the shoemaker and poet-minstrel, it is difficult to say.
