Good you drink bran-dee vis vater? Not good for boy sometime, mais good now." He kept on chattering to us, half in English, half in French; and as he spoke he cut for us great pieces of bread and Devon butter, evidently freshly taken on board that day. Next he took a large brown bottle from a locker, and mixed in a heavy, clumsy glass a stiff jorum of brandy with water from a kettle on the stove.
It was supposed to be smuggled from Hungary, and Vater Böhm coloured and sweetened it with molasses, and called it Schlipowitzer. Our weekly outlay for food during the first month of residence in Vienna, especially while unemployed, did not exceed five florins, i.e. four shillings each.
She crept closer, still crouching, and lay at his feet, and her voice was like something crying and wrestling. "Hier bin ich Vater: Gebiete die Strafe . . . Du verstösest mich? Versteh' ich den Sinn? Nimmst du mir alles was einst du gabst?" Her voice sobbed, dying away into a tone pure, soft, heart-breaking, like a breath; yet it penetrated and filled the stage, the wings, and came echoing back.
They brushed past Scipio at the door, and were pushing up the long flight when they were stopped on the landing by Dr. Leiden. "How is my father, sir?" Grafton cried, "and why was I not informed at once of his illness? I must see him." "Your vater can see no one, Mr. Carvel," said the doctor, quietly. "What," says my uncle, "you dare to refuse me?"

To them, the Herr Vater and the Frau Grossmutter seem nearly of the same age, and of the same generation; and verily the eighteen years between the mother and son have dwindled into a very small difference even in appearance, and a lesser one in feeling.
Vater gives a history of a penetrating abdominal wound in which a portion of the colon hung from the wound during fourteen years, forming an artificial anus.
"Yes; it might have hurt me pretty bad." "I means it vos lucky for de shoe," added Otto, who, in groping about, stumbled at that moment upon the missing article. "Bime by de vater soaks down mine shoes agin and I stands on head and kicks it out."
Above all, he exasperated him by insisting on taking his hand across the table and pressing it effusively. And he brought him to the pitch of irritation at last by wanting to clink glasses in the German fashion, and, with sentimental speeches, to drink to those at home and to Vater Rhein. Kohn saw, to his horror, that he was on the point of singing.
This document is called a “Kundschaft;” is written in set form, acknowledges his probity and industry, and is countersigned by the two aldermen.
