"But if not?" said Lucy, too careful of the other's feelings to express what her own opinions were on this subject. "If not it will be still less good," said Bice, "for I shall never then do anything or be of any importance at all; and why should I tr-rouble?" she said, with that rattle of the r's which was about the only sign that English was not her native speech.
"You are like a little savage," cried the Contessa. "Don't you care then to make the greatest marriage, to win the prize, to settle everything with no trouble, before you are presented or anything has been done at all?" "Is it settled then?" said Bice. She shrugged her shoulders a little within her white cloak. "Is that all? no more excitement, nothing to look forward to, no tr-rouble?
And for many months he r-roamed, and nothing ever made him for-rget his tr-rouble until one day he saw a beautiful pr-rincess. Ah, she was a most lovely pr-rincess, with a face like a r-rose, and teeth like pearls, and a heart that was a tr-reasure of goodness." Friedrich warmed with his subject.
"I am made like that," she cried. "I don't know how to be so serious. Oh, go away from me. You tr-rouble me. I like the other best." He never knew how he got out of the strange, unnatural atmosphere of the house in which he seemed to leave his heart behind him.
He was looking his fill on the downcast face before him, while Sydney pulled at the little handkerchief in her lap, and carefully smoothed out a corner of it on her knee.

But it would have been more amusing if there had been a great deal of tr-rouble," the girl said.
The Contessa smiled upon him once more with dazzling sweetness. "She is in the little drawing-room," she said. And so it was concluded, the excitement, the tr-rouble, as Bice said; it would have been far more amusing if there had been a great deal more tr-rouble. The Contessa dropped down in the corner of the sofa from which she had risen.
"Neither of them speaks a word of anything but English." "It is an escape," he murmured. "Forgive me, gnädige Frau. It is a startle to think that perhaps you have given to the world your heart's thoughts." "Be reassured. It was only the names, Max and Hilda, that we understood." "When my tr-rouble came to me, it was unbearable to stay at the Schloss, so I must go away.
Sanchicha, she stands herself now over in the street. We have mooch sorrow we have to make the caballeros mooch tr-rouble to make disposition of his house. But what will you?" There was another awkward silence, and then Saunders, who had been examining the intruder with languid criticism, removed his pipe from his mouth and said quietly: "That's the woman you're looking for Jovita Mendez!"
