He bequeathed his fortune most advantageously invested in a house in Dusseldorf and in public funds yielding a yearly income of about thirty-five thousand marks, to his two friends, Dr Schrotter and Dr Eynhardt, with the sole charge that out of it they should provide a sufficient competency for his old servant, dating from his father's time, who had attended him literally from the cradle to the grave.
Eynhardt, but by me. I did not say either that the occurrence was unimportant, but that it had no general significance that it was not a proof of the prevailing feeling at large." "It comes to the same thing whether you say it has no importance or no significance," interrupted the informer. "That gentleman may have made the remark, but I certainly heard it, and as a loyal servant of his majesty "
Bhani appeared not to be waiting on a mortal master, but taking part in a sacrifice in a temple, so much devotion was expressed in her noble, warmly-colored face. A dish of curry spread its oriental scent through the room, and Schrotter continued: "Tell me, dear Eynhardt, in what way you mean to accomplish your fakir's contempt of the world?"
Eynhardt had come and gone away again, without saying good-day to her. As she was going to ask what the visit meant, Malvine came and embraced her grandmother, crying bitterly, to the old lady's great distress. With many tears she had given a confused and broken account of the interview with Wilhelm, begging Frau Brohl to comfort her and foretell that it should end well.
"Come, you fellows, that's enough joking. This defection of yours, melancholy Eynhardt, combines obstinacy with wisdom, like Balaam's ass! Well! may you rest in peace. And now let us be off."

I may have been mistaken on that point." "You do not repudiate the remark?" asked the magistrate of Schrotter in his most biting tones. "Your expression is not very happily chosen.
What was wanting in Eynhardt to make him not only a harmonious but a useful being? Obviously only the will. But was this want an organic one?
"Yes, friend Eynhardt," he said; "you will send in the petition, and it will, I hope, have the desired result. Do it for my sake. Yes, look at me; I have need of you. I miss you. I am getting to be an old man. At sixty years of age one does not make new friendships. All the more carefully does one keep those one has. Berlin has seemed to me a desert almost unbearable, without you.
