She wanted desperately and tried her best to love Victor as his daughter should; and that he cared for her profoundly she knew and never questioned; yet when she searched her secret heart Sofia discovered no feeling for the man other than a singular form of fear. Waring, Karslake, even the unspeakable Sturm.
As it turned out, however, Herr Sturm most obligingly understudied for me.... Before coming back, I looked Karslake up. He'd been busy, playing a lone hand, ever since Victor trumped up an errand to keep him out of your way all day.
Other messages Victor chose to keep to himself, silently setting fire to them and adding their brittle ashes to those of their predecessors on the brazen tray provided for the purpose. At such times Sturm would bend lower over his work.
Nogam peered myopically at the paper. "It might be 'Ebrew, sir," he hazarded, helpfully "by the looks of it, I mean. I suppose some private message, 'e thought you'd understand." "Hebrew, you fool! Damn your impudence! Do you take me for a Jew?" "Beg pardon, sir no 'arm meant." "No," Sturm declared, "it's Chinese."

There was also the stout German who talks about "de sturm und der vafes."
In the study of Prince Victor Vassilyevski the man Sturm put an impatient question: "Well? What you make of it hein?" Shaik Tsin looked up from a paper which he had been silently examining by the light of the brazen lamp. "Number One says," he reported, smiling sweetly, while his yellow forefinger moved from symbol to symbol of the picturesque writing: "The blow falls to-night.
