Strouss said, grandly, "do you or do you not approve of the presence of 'my man, as he calls himself? an improper expression, in my opinion; such, however, is their nature. He can hold his tongue as well as any man, though none of them are very sure at that. And he knows pretty nigh as much as I do, so far as his English can put things together, being better accustomed in German.
Betsy said it was called "Differeria," as differing so much from all other complaints. I had never yet heard of this, but discovered, without asking further than of Mr. Strouss, that she meant that urgent mandate for a levy of small angels which is called on earth "diphtheria."
Then I showed her a sovereign, at which she opened her mouth in more ways than one, for she told me that "though she had faithfully promised to say nothing about it, because of a dreadful quarrel between her mistress and Mrs. Strouss that was now, and a jealousy between them that was quite beyond belief, she could not refuse such a nice young lady, if I would promise faithfully not to tell."
She knew me by my likeness to my father, falling on the memories started by my name; and strong as she was, the surprise overcame her, at the sound of which up rushed the small Herr Strouss. "Vhat are you doing dere, all of you? vhat have you enterprised with my frau? Explain, Vilhelmina, or I call de policemans, vhat I should say de peelers."
"You know more about it than any body I have ever met with, except my own father, who would never tell a word." "And quite right he was, miss, according to his views. But come to my little room, unless you are afraid. I can tell you some things that your father never knew." "Afraid! do you think I am a baby still? But I can not bear that Mr. Strouss should be locked up on my account."
And if this were so, one could understand at once Mr. Goad's attempt upon Uncle Sam. "Now none of this! none of this, I say, Erema!" Major Hockin exclaimed, as he ran in and saw me scarcely even caring to hold my own with the gentle Maximilian to which name Mr. Strouss was promoted from the too vernacular "Hans." "My dear, I never saw you look ill before.
Herr Strouss was a very simple-minded man, yet full of true sagacity, and he warmly advised, in his very worst English, that none but my few trusty friends should be told of my visit to this country. "Why for make to know your enemies?" he asked, with one finger on his forehead, which was his mode of indicating caution. "Enemies find out vere soon, too soon, soon enough.
And I did hear most careful as I am to pay no attention to petty rumors that the first thing that moved the heart of Herr Strouss, and called forth his finest feelings, was a winding-up chair, which came out to make legs, with a pocket for tobacco, and a flat place for a glass. This was certainly a paltry thought; and to think of such low things grieved me. And now, when I looked at Mr.
I threw myself altogether on his will; for, when I trust, I trust wholly. And, under his advice, I did not return with any rash haste to Bruntsea, but wrote in discharge of all duty there; while Mrs. Price, a clear and steadfast woman, was sent to London to see Wilhelmina Strouss.
On the other hand, by omitting these, and departing from her homely style, I might do more of harm than good through failing to convey impressions, or even facts, so accurately. Therefore let me not deny Mrs. Strouss, my nurse, the right to put her words in her own way. "If you please, Miss Castlewood," Mrs.
