She was very worried about the loss of her fifteen trunks, which she had had to leave, and which contained all her family mementoes and miniatures.

Forty-nine for the "Merkur" hospital.
Other spies took the trouble to disguise themselves in rags and turbans, and, mixing with the Tommies, sold them sweetmeats, fruit, and cigarettes.

The county election, which had brought the increase of business, was over and done with. Paul succeeded the journeyman, who went his way and found employment elsewhere.
