She wept for her good, affectionate father, for her flowers, her serving-maids, her little room which looked out upon the garden, her kitchen, bright with burnished copper vessels; but the ungrateful little thing did not weep very much for the learned books she left behind her, though, indeed, she could never cease to think of those with whom she had had her daily conversation for years.
Why, I saw your Joseph speaking to the bailiff's daughter at the fence: this spell would do him no harm." All the grinning serving-maids, instead of rescuing Czipra from the woman, only assisted the latter in her siege. They surrounded her and even cut off Czipra's way, waiting curiously for what the gypsy would say. "It is a harmless remedy, and costs nothing."
One day we would be in a good little hotel, with polyglot guests, and serving-maids in stagey Norse costumes, like the famous inn at Stalheim, which commands the amazing panorama of the Naerodal.
But what? he heard his male servants cry, Fire, fire, fire, fire! his serving-maids and women yell, Stop thief, stop thief! and all his children shout as loud as ever they could, Murder, O murder, murder!

And as soon as the Members of the Confraternity were ranged in the fitting order, the Dean got up to speak. He congratulated any serving-maids that served their masters without receiving wages, and spoke highly of the old men who, having no bread to eat, did not ask for any. And he said: "These have done well, and we shall reward them.
And when the guests left the house they must needs admit that the general dealer was right when he said that such serving-maids were not to be picked up every day. But those folks who went a-fishing for the general dealer, and had their provisions put up for them beforehand, were not slow to mark that Toad had the control of the shop and stores likewise.
