The thought that many others, too, would be glad to step into his shoes tortured Wolff's honest heart as though he himself were to blame for the delusion of these short-sighted folk.
If she went nearer to the window she could hear what the Honourables decided concerning the Eysvogel house; and, overpowered by her ardent desire not to lose a single word of the discussion which was to determine the happiness of Wolff's life, and therefore hers, she instantly silenced the voice which admonished her that listening was wrong.
"They are scientific works; and if you think yours is the only long head here, you are very much mistaken." "Very good, we shall see. I will lend this book to the 'long head, and do you bring me one from him." I had given him Petau's Rationarium, and in four minutes he brought me the first volume of Wolff's works.

Some compulsion must have been imposed upon him when he permitted his son to choose a wife other than the one selected.
He drew up his short figure as if the vigour of youth had returned, declaring that he now felt sure that this first star in the dark night would soon be followed by others. "It will now be your Wolff's opportunity," he exclaimed, "to make amends for much that Fate But I was commencing something else. Give me that bit of crumpled paper.
