"If the chair pleases, I think something ought to be done to restore order in the gallery and keep these proceedings from being disturbed. It seems to me an outrage, that, on an occasion of this kind, when the interests of the people require the most careful attention " A Voice. "The interests of the people!" Another Voice. "Sit down. You're bought!" Alderman Winkler. "If the chair pleases "
"He broke loose from his new chain," said the old sailor, "and I have been looking all over for him. I am glad I have found him, and I will pay for all the candy he spoiled." "Well, if you do that I can't find any fault," said the store-lady. "But he certainly gave me a great fright." "And he wouldn't even come down for peanuts," cried Bunny. "Wango isn't very good to-day," said Mr. Winkler.
This was clearly proved by the 300 guldens found in the dead man's pocket, money enclosed in a delicate little envelope, sealed hastily, and crumpled as if it had been carried in a hot and trembling hand. It was already known that Winkler never had any money except at certain irregular intervals, when he appeared to have come into possession of considerable sums.
Both were sincerely astonished at my arrival in Dresden; and the same might even be said of my frequent correspondent and patron, Hofrath Winkler, who also would have preferred my remaining in Paris. But, as has been my constant experience both before and since, help and encouragement have always come to me from humbler and never from the more exalted ranks of life.
Really the parrot made more noise than Wango, but Miss Winkler did not seem to think so. "Well, I'm glad to get back my wig, anyhow," said Mr. Treadwell, as he took that and the jacket from Wango. "This little monkey must have gone in my room, found that I left my trunk open, and then he took out what he wanted." "Do you really think he knew he was dressing up like a tramp?" asked Lucile.
Heaven, however, took care of their punishment for the crime which they had committed upon my poor brother; for Langhans died in the most abject wretchedness, and Winkler went mad and beat his own brains out. There is no doubt that the King spoke very harshly to Louvois, but certainly he did not treat him as has been pretended, for the King was incapable of such an action.
About the same time he composed a consolatory tract for the Evangelical congregation at Halle-on-the-Saale, whose minister Winkler had been murdered in the previous April. In the autumn a new controversial treatise was published against him by Erasmus, which he rightly described as a product of snakes; and he now stood in the midst of the contest between Zwingli and Oecolampadius.
Polly wants a cracker!" yelled the bird, and Wango began to chatter, the two of them making such a racket that Miss Winkler held her hands over her ears while Bunny and Sue could not help laughing. "Stop it! Stop it!" yelled the maiden lady, and finally the monkey and the parrot grew quiet. "Put Wango in his cage, Sue, if you please," said Miss Winkler.
He had run in, together with other neighboring shopkeepers, to see what the excitement was about. "I could get him down if I had something to coax him with," returned the old sailor. "I promised him a cookie," said Mr. Raymond. "He'd rather have a piece of cake cocoanut cake would be best," went on Mr. Winkler. "I'll go home and get some," offered Bunny Brown.
"Did he do any damage, Mrs. Golden?" asked the old sailor. "If my monkey did any damage I'll pay for it." "No, he didn't do any harm," she answered. "He just startled us all a little." "Wango's a good monkey, but he will run away," said Mr. Winkler, petting his furry companion. "I'm glad he didn't do any damage. My sister said he'd be sure to this time, but I'm glad he didn't."
