The original shines among the paintings in the splendid collection of Milor at Mountpleasant Castle. I will not pretend to say, concluded Vater Böhm, reloading his pipe, that the English have any taste, but they certainly have a strange passion for pictures; and, let them once get an idea into their heads, they are the most obstinate people in the world in the pursuit of it.
You know, Lieber Herr, said Vater Böhm, there is nothing in the whole Kaiserstadt so astonishing to strangers as our signboards. Those beautiful paintings that you see—Am Graben and Hohe Markt,—real works of art, with which the sign-boards of other countries are no more to be compared, than your hum-drum English music is to the delicious waltzes of Lanner, or the magic polkas of Strauss.
And I lifted my finger and said to him, ‘Boy, Gott der Vater.’ He laughed and said, ‘Gott der Vater.’... ‘Gott der Sohn.’ He laughed again and lisped, ‘Gott der Sohn.’ ‘Gott der heilige Geist.’ Then he laughed and said as best he could, ‘Gott der heilige Geist.’ I went away, and two days after I happened to be passing, and he shouted to me of himself, ‘Uncle, Gott der Vater, Gott der Sohn,’ and he had only forgotten ‘Gott der heilige Geist.’ But I reminded him of it and I felt very sorry for him again.
My voman cry continually for him. I still fumigate the pipe, ant say, 'What was your son's name, and where servet he? Perhaps I may know him. 'His name was Karl Mayer, ant he servet in ze Austrian Jagers. 'He were of pig stature, ant a handsome man like yourself, puts in Mariechen. I say, 'I know your Karl. 'Amalia, exclaimet my Vater.

These white nations have been visited successively by Portlock, Marchand, Baranoff, and Davidoff. The Tchinkitans, or Schinkit, are the inhabitants of the island of Sitka.

"What's all this?" and der Vater stood in the doorway, heavy as lead, and red as a plum. "Give her a bunch of flowers," he said simply, and as if by accident, and "Oh!..." said Elsa's mother, and disappeared. She came back with three blue cotton cornflowers out of Elsa's hat, and the gap in the bodice was hidden. He was not there.
The few American grammars, printed for the most part in the seventeenth century, passed into the Missions, and have been lost in the forests. I had much difficulty to collect in the Missions, and in the convents, those grammars of American languages, which, on my return to Europe, I placed in the hands of Severin Vater, professor and librarian at the university of Konigsberg.
"Ven I valks, de vater in my shoes squishes up to mine ears don't you hear 'em?" "Why don't you pour it out?" "I hef done so, tree time already I done so again once more." And, without ado, the young German threw himself forward on his hands and head and kicked his feet with a vigor that sent the moisture in every direction.

The “vater” looks dubiously at me out of the corner of one eye, till, having inspected my passport, he brightens up a little, and thinks he can find me a bed, but cannot break through the rules of his house so far as to give me any supper. It is too late.
