And sometime when I'm back in New York I'm going to California in a few days I think I'll be able to get back here I certainly hope so though of course I'll have to keep house for friend father for a while, and maybe I'll marry myself with a local magnate in desperation but, as I was saying, dear, when I get back here we'll have a good dinner, nicht wahr?" "Yes, and good-by."
It occurred to him that the woman, who stood staring, was in common politeness entitled to some explanation. He was in just that state of mind when, the only serious interest having suddenly dropped out of the life, the minor conventionalities loom up as peculiarly important and obligatory. "You were Fraiilein Ida Werner, and lived at No. strasse in 1866, nicht wahr?"
"We have had the best, you and I," said he. "Arbeit und Liebe und Heim. Nicht wahr?" Otto Heilig appeared in his doorway and greeted them awkwardly. Nor did their cordiality lessen his embarrassment. His pink and white skin was rosy red and his frank blue-gray eyes shifted uneasily. But he was smiling with eager friendliness, showing even, sound, white teeth.
And she did, brave, true girl and lover. The devotion his resolute words proved was like a strong nervine to restore her self-control. She smiled as well as her trembling lips would let her, and said, as she loosed him from her arms: "No, thou must go, Karl. But thou wilt return, nicht wahr?"
On the day they made El Wahr, and the two following, camels in great numbers dropped down and died, or were quickly killed and the meat brought in by the hungry slaves. Such are some of the ordinary events of a journey across the desert. On the 21st of January, 1825, they reached Tripoli, and soon after embarked for Leghorn.
Effusively, in her triumph, she patted the cheek of the Wilbur twin. "Ja! I could easy enough give your poppa as good like he sent, yes? Sprechen sie English, nicht wahr?" Again her bulk trembled with honest mirth, and while this endured she went to the ice box and brought a bone for Frank, the dog. Frank fell upon it with noisy gurgles.
She bore his gaze unflinchingly, with indrawn breath and clenched hands. "What is it, Amarilly?" he asked gently. "You will tell me, nicht wahr?" These two last words were in deference to her new study of German. At the genuine sympathy in his voice, Amarilly's composure gave way and there was a rush of tears. He led her to a divan and sat beside her. "Yes, of course you will tell me, Amarilly.
'Tis not till one is dead that the day of judgment can dawn; and when one is dead one cannot see or judge at all. An exquisite irony. Nicht Wahr? The wrecks in the Morgue, what tales they could tell! But dead men tell no tales. While there's life there's hope; and so the worst cynicisms have never been spoken. But I I alone have dodged the Fates. I am the dead-alive, the living dead.
That is what I want to know." "It could 'ovver, your Royal Highness, like a wasp," said Bert. "Viel besser, nicht wahr?" said the Prince to Von Winterfeld, and then went on in German for a time. Presently they came to an end, and the two officers looked at Bert. One rang a bell, and the portfolio was handed to an attendant, who took it away.
'The shadow prowling amongst the graves of butterflies laughed boisterously. "Yes! Very funny this terrible thing is. A man that is born falls into a dream like a man who falls into the sea. If he tries to climb out into the air as inexperienced people endeavour to do, he drowns nicht wahr? . . . No! I tell you!
