He had moved to the side of the girl, as if to defend her, and his clear blue eyes went searchingly from one man to the next.
"If I had known vhat you vould do, I vould haf hold you till " "The train doesn't go for ten minutes," Mrs. Steele interrupts; "it was only shifting to another track. You might have known the Baron would watch the time." Mrs. Steele looks weak with apprehension it is only when she has been alarmed that I realise how delicate she is.
With my nose in the air I follow the rest into the rose garden of the hospital, where all is so lovely I quite forget I am offended. Oh, the rose trees and the wilderness of bloom! The dark young man gathers for Mrs. Steele and the Baron de Bach for me. "You ask me vonce vhat kind was a Castilian rose.
Why that's the prettiest and the neatest legislation on airth! That's just what the bankrupt law did." "Vhat did der bankroopt law do, bray? Vhat might you mean now? I don't know." "Do! why it did wonders for some on us, I can tell you! It paid our debts, and let us up when we was down; and that's no trifle, I can tell you. I took 'the benefit, as it is called, myself."
She made the picture amusing, none the less, and to no one more so than to the Baron's wife, whose presence among us at the board was as fragrant, so to speak, as that of a violet among its leaves and sisters. "Ah! Gustaf," she said, with a cadenced gravity more taking than mirth, "sat iss a treat-ment nobody got a right to but me. But tell me, tell se company, vhat new sings have you found?
"Und vhat might be der rent of a hoondred acres now? he might get more dan sixpence to-day?" "That he does. Most all of the farms are running out on second, and some on third leases.

"Vell, I dinks I might not bear dat! Vhat ist mein house ist mein house, ant dey shall not so moch vittles."
