It seems true that he never once doubted ultimate victory, and, what is much more remarkable, never once failed to read the German's mind. I think that the doom that has fallen upon him comes in some measure from the amusement he takes in his mental quickness, and the reliance he is sometimes apt to place upon it. A quick mind may easily be a disorderly mind.
'The courtiers of the Vatican and chief officers of the Church, says an eyewitness, 'wept and screamed and cursed and gave themselves up to despair. Along the blank walls of the city was scrawled: 'Rome to let. Sonnets fell in showers, accusing the cardinals of having delivered over 'the fair Vatican to a German's fury. Adrian VI. came to Rome for the first time as Pope.
"I'm about whole melted," he said, as he kissed her. "In the name of charity give me a nobbler. I did get a bit of damper and a pannikin of tea up at the German's hut; but I never was so hot or so thirsty in my life. We're going to have it in earnest this time.
Tadini no doubt interpreted my silence as a mark of disapproval of the German's laughter, and thought to better matters by asking me to give my opinion. "As you want to hear it," said I, "here it is." "There's a great difference between a tooth and the crystalline humour; and though you may have succeeded in putting an artificial tooth into a gum, this treatment will not do with the eye."

Jack felt out with his left hand and encircled the German's neck. Then he squeezed. The German gasped for breath as his wind was shut off. His hand searched his belt and presently flashed aloft with a knife. Jack saw it. Releasing his hold on the man's throat, he seized the knife arm with his left hand and twisted sharply, at the same time driving his right fist into the man's face.
Hans turned short round, stretched out his long right arm the left being quite sufficient to support Gertie, and, seizing the German's shaggy hair with a mighty grip, held on till one of the Skyds returned to the rescue. It was also a melancholy march on that dismal night, for poor Edwin Brook was well aware, and fully alive to the fact, that he was a ruined man.
Above all, they differ in what is the most English of all English traits; that shame which the French may be right in calling "the bad shame"; for it is certainly mixed up with pride and suspicion, the upshot of which we call shyness. Even an Englishman's rudeness is often rooted in his being embarrassed. But a German's rudeness is rooted in his never being embarrassed.
