"Good gracious! what's the matter, uncle?" I asked. "Pfuiii!" he replied, staring with his full eyes, and prolonging this kind of whistling exclamation, like a man who is breathing more freely after a narrow escape. His gestures were so eloquent, his sigh so expressive and so reinvigorating, that I waited until he had given complete vent to it.
"It was indeed! Whatever did you do?" "I separated them, carrying Gretchen back at once to her carriage." "Then now I understand the chill which seemed to be over us all dinner-time. So, after I went out, you had a heavy downfall?" "Pfuiii!" my uncle began again.
When I saw him quite exhausted by it, I continued, feeling really anxious "Come! what is it?" "Oh, I've just had such a nasty turn!" he answered at last, "Pfuiii!" I respected this new effort at relief, which, moreover set him right this time. "You've had some words with my aunt, I suppose?" I added, at a venture, recollecting the cloud which seemed to hang over us at dinner.
