German composition based on humorous stories

This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.

Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.

PREFACE.

This book is intended for students who have had
some training in elementary German grammar and trans-
lation. The material is taken from noted German
humorists, such as Fritz Reuter, Rudolf Baumbach,
Christoph Martin Wieland, Ernst Eckstein and others.

In the first part, the subject matter is printed in
parallel columns, the German story on one page, an
English paraphrase of it on the opposite page and, in
footnotes, a number of German questions recapitulating
the contents of the story. This arrangement makes
possible a close combination of reading, composition
and conversation.

The second part contains humorous stories in English
to be translated into German without the help of a
German version; also material for a thorough drill in
letter-writing, subjects for original composition work, a
comprehensive exposition of word-order and a vocab-
ulary.

Directions for the use of this book are given on pages
165 and 166.

AN ENGLISH-SPEAKING GERMAN 3

An English-speaking German.*

A young German, who J knows j little English, is trav-
elling 2 in England. He has a dangerous habit: he
often 8 translates German words by similar sounding
English [ones]. 4 So, for instance, he translates 6 „ba£
gelb" by "the felt," „ber $afe" by " the case," „ba$ ®t"
by "the eye," „befommen" by "become," etc.

One day when 6 he arrives at a little place 2 in the
mountains, a strange lady asks him 7 : " Sir, 8 do 9 you
happen 3 to know where 10 I can procure a gentle saddle-
horse?"

The polite young man gladly gives [the] information,
" There are no horses here, Madam, but if you go to the
foot of the mountain, you will become a donkey."

Instead of thanking him, 11 the lady looks him over 12
from head to foot, 4 with an indescribable expression.

Angered at such (an) 18 impolite behavior, 14 he goes
into K a neighboring hotel and orders his dinner. He
waits [a] long [time], but 16 the food he wants 17 does not

unemployed, 8 " Waiter, when shall I ever become a beef-

The puzzled waiter replies, " Never, Sir," and 4 the
German departs in disgust. 6

Lived in Vain.

I once 6 said to my father: "I want 7 [to] learn [to]
row." " Good," said my father, " leani [to] row."

At last 8 I knew how to row, and 9 I often rowed 10
people across the Rhine. One day u a very elegant man
came and said : " Boy, 12 row me 18 to the opposite shore."

" Good," I said, " sit down 5 in the boat." And then

I began 14 to row. The gentleman looked at 15 me a
while, and said, "Boy, can you read?"

" No," I said. 16 " Then you have lived 17 a quarter of
your life in vain," he replied.

** It is getting 18 windy," I said, and looked upward. 6

Then he asked me, " Boy, can you write ? " " No," I
said again. "Then you have lived 1 half your life in

I said, " it is getting very windy," and looked upward 6
again. Then he asked, " Boy, can you do arithmetic ?"
" No," I answered. He was very sorry for me, 7 and (he)
said, "Then you have lived 8 three quarters of your

" It is beginning 4 to get terribly windy," I said, and
again looked anxiously upward. Suddenly the boat
capsized and we were 6 both in the water.

I asked if 6 he could swim. When 7 he answered in

JACOBS MUST DAY At SCHOOL. 9

Little Jacob's First Day at School.

1 Little Jacob had 2 grown up 3 in the country. 8 He
understood more about swimming 4 and climbing 4 than
about learned matters. At last he was sent 6 to a
public school and was given 6 a place on the lowest
bench.*

In the first hour the children had German grammar.
The teacher had 9 7 them form sentences about certain
nouns. Jacob did not understand a word of it all. At
last the teacher spoke 8 to him too : „ Serf 06, matfje einmal
einen @afct ö &er ^n 2^." The little [fellow] sprang
up joyfully and made a bold leap over the table. When
the hearty laughter from the other children followed
this skilful performance, Jacob did not know why they
laughed. 9

During 10 the second hour [there] was a writing
lesson. The children were given 6 the copy, "Go
through the world true and honest, that is the best
travelling money." Little Jacob wrote u naively, " Go
through the world true and honest, the best [thing] is
the travelling money."

1 Insert the def. article. The definite article is used when an
adjective precedes the proper name. 2 Use fein, to be ; fein is used
with verbs denoting motion (fahren, gefyen) or a change of condition
(toafytn, toerben, erlranfen) and with the verbs bleiben, fein. 8 auf*
gefreuten 78. 4 verbal noun and def. article. 5 2. 6 To be given
= erhalten, erfjteit, erhalten. 7 laffen, lie«, gefaffen. 8 an'reben; I, 2, 72.
9 to laugh, ladjen, 21, 22, 29. 10 ttmfyrenb, 21, 22. n Insert gang.

* In Germany good students sit on the upper bench, poor ones
on the lower.

t €>afe has two meanings, "sentence" and "leap."

THE NEW METHOD. 11

In the third hour the English teacher came and asked
them questions l [on] the lesson previously given out. 2
Since 3 the boys were poorly prepared, the zealous
man became angry. "Can no one really 4 tell 6 me
what 6 „neun" is 10 in English? " he asked impatiently.
Deep silence. " Perhaps you know what „neun" is, he
said, turning 7 to Jacob. „Stein", replied the latter 8
candidly. " Right, my child," said the delighted teacher.
w Only one of you lazy fellows could answer my ques-
tion. Take your seat 9 on the upper bench, little

[boy]-"

The New Method.

After Fbitz Beutbb.

The superintendent of schools, Ix from Ixenstein, was
once inspecting the school of Master Rosengrün. When 10
he had to give a test-lesson n before the severe superin-
tendent, the old master got very nervous. Everything u
he knew so well before seemed to have been whisked

out of his l head. 12 The children either 2 knew nothing
or talked nonsense. 18

At last the inspector interrupts the lesson. "My
dear friend," he says, " you teach by the old method. I
will teach you a new method."

Glad to be released 3 from his painful situation, the
teacher changes 4 places 14 with the superintendent.

" Tell me, 6 my child," says the superintendent to a
small boy, " what is the name of the river that 6 flows
by your village. Think now. 7 You do not know it?
Well, I will guide you 16 to the name. What do we do, 8
when 9 we have committed a sin? You may 10 answer,
my daughter."

"We do penance" (93u&e), cries little Mary.

"Quite right! 11 Now instead [of] 93ufce, say SBuffe.
Then you have the name of the river."

" Into 12 what river does the Busse flow ?"

" Now, children, consider ! 18 Which are 14 all [the]
things that 15 fall from the sky ? I will call on 16 the

boys this time." 16

customed themselves to 6 city-life and exchanged their
simple peasant's garb for the more elegant attire of the

jacket, despite the fact, 2 that only long great-coats were
the fashion. ^

One day father, mother and daughter sat at the win-
dow, looking out 8 on the street, which [was] alive
with passers-by. 4

"Dear father," said 6 little Sophie, stroking 6 his
cheek tenderly, "please buy a new great-coat [for]
yourself. 7 See, nobody goes to walk 28 here in a short
jacket."

"Pooh! Pooh! 8 child," evaded Mr. Böhm, "what
have I to do 9 with the new styles ? " 29

But 10 Mrs. Böhm joined her entreaties to those of her
daughter, and together they pressed the good man,
until, 11 to please them, 12 he promised to buy 18 a new
great-coat. He went straightway to the tailor and
inquired.

"Have you any ready-made great-coats?"

" Certainly, sir," 14 replied the man. " Here is a brown

" Oh no, sir, certainly not, that did not occur to me.^
But this style 8 is just [the] fashion now. Everybody

Mr. Böhm looked [at] himself 4 once more in the mir-

Sophie rushed to the spot and danced round her

" Didn't I say it was 1 too long! " cried Mr. Böhm in
triumph. "But that miserable tailor would hear no-
thing of it. 2 He said this was 8 the new style."

" Ah, well, 4 don't excite yourself. 6 The coat reaches 6
to your 7 heels, ^ and two handsbreadths must be cut
off the bottom. But that is a small matter and 8 can
easily be attended to before our walk to-morrow."

Very early ^ the next morning while 9 husband and
daughter were still asleep, 10 Mrs. Böhm rose, went to u
the closet, and took out 12 the great-coat. Then she took
her thread, needle and scissors, cut off two hands-
breadths from the coat, and made a new hem around
[it]. " There, 18 father, there," she murmured joyfully
to herself, gg " now you can walk comfortably in it; now
it is quite in the fashion." — Then she hung it back in
the closet.

About seven o'clock 89 Sophie awoke. It occurred to
her^ that 14 she might 16 surprise her father. So 16 she
took the great-coat from the closet, cut off two hands*
breadths, and made a new hem.

" Now it is comfortable and in the latest style," she
said joyfully. " How glad father will be !"

THE NEW GREAT-COAT. 25

About nine, Father Böhm, too, arose from his downy-
couch. His first thought was 1 of 41 the new great-coat.
He determined to surprise his wife and daughter.

"Dorothea!" he whispered, "there in 2 the closet
hangs a great-coat. Take it to the tailor and tell him
that I was 8 quite right, and it is too long. Tell 4 him
to cut off a good quarter of a yard. But say nothing
about it to my wife, 6 for 6 I want to give her a pleasant
surprise."

The servant went, but came back quickly.

" Mr. Böhm," said she, " the tailor was surprised 43
that 7 he was 8 to cut off still more of the coat. He said
it was 9 too short already."

"Tell that 10 stiff-necked tailor that 11 this is my
affair," blustered out Mr. Böhm. " I ought 12 [to] know
better than he how 18 long I want to have my coat.
Just 14 because 16 he is so obstinate, he shall cut off a
quarter [of a] yard."

The maid started off again and soon returned.

" Mr. Böhm," said she, the tailor shook his 16 head 43
violently, but at last he cut off a piece and said, he
hoped that 1T now it would be short enough for 18 you."

THE LIEUTENANTS DINNER. 27

" Very good," said Mr. Böhm. " Hang the coat in
the closet."

At last comes the time for a walk. The two ladies
rejoice in anticipation of the moment when Mr. Böhm
will appear on the street with them, in the full glory of
his new great-coat.

While l they are donning hats and mantles, Mr. Böhm
stations himself before the parlor door.

" Dorothea," he calls out, " now bring me my new
great-coat."

The maid quickly helps him put on the coat. The
door flies open.

Mr. Böhm stands before 2 the horrified women in —
a short jacket !

The Lieutenant's Dinner.
After Fritz Reuter.

3 Lieutenant von Karfunkelstein comes home 45 one
day. 4 He holds in his 5 hand a strict order to march
with his regiment to Woldegk, for 6 a rebellion has broken
out there 7 which 8 can be put down only by military
force.

THE LIEUTENANT'S DINNER. 29

The lieutenant's first glance falls on a letter that l lies
on his work-table. He recognizes the handwriting. The
letter is from his lady love, the young widow, Frau von
Diamant. 2 Hastily he opens the letter, and glances
through it. 46 It contains 8 a friendly invitation for din-
ner that day. 4

The lieutenant is furiously angry. 6 To march against
rebellious peasants instead of dining 6 with his charm-
ing lady, — that is indeed a pity. 47 But complaints and
bewailings do no good; in an hour he must be ready to
march.

He calls Jochen Päsel, his servant, 7 and gives him a
precise account of his plight. He bids him go at once
to Frau von Diamant and explain the absence of her in-
vited guest.

"Do you 8 know exactly what you are 9 to say?" asks 10
the lieutenant of the boy.

"Surely, sir, 11 " replies the good Jochen Päsel, and
goes [on] his way. 12

Now the lieutenant is accustomed to have his dinner
brought 13 from a hotel. As 14 it is just dinner-time, he

opens the window and calls after the hurrying Jochen,
"And then bring the food along with you."

Jochen comes to the gracious Frau von Diamant.

"What is it, 52 my boy? 1 " asks the lady kindly.

"Compliments from my master to the gracious lady
and my gracious 2 lieutenant cannot come to dinner to-
day. He must march in an hour to Woldegk, where 8 a
rebellion has 4 broken out, and therefore the lieutenant
cannot accept your invitation for dinner."

"That is a pity! 47 I am very sorry !" 48

And Jochen Päsel stands and stands and whirls his
cap round in his 5 hand in embarrassment. 6

"Well, 7 Jochen, why do you 8 not go home."

"He said that 9 I was to 10 bring the dinner with [me]
gracious lady. "

The young widow laughs softly to herself. 64 She
knows how to take a joke, 58 and she packs a great bas-
ket full [of] food and gives it [to] Jochen.

In the meantime, the lieutenant has n grown very hun-
gry and when 12 Jochen appears with the food, he sits
down to it in ill-humor. /

"Instead of dining 18 off the rarest dishes with my
adored," he murmurs, "I must 14 swallow this miserable

what is this? Fowl, pastry, ices, cake, and even a bottle
of champagne ! "

"Jochen," he calls, "is there a wedding feast at
the hotel?"

"No, sir, this is from Iter. 9 '

"Where did that food come from?" 66 shouts the lieu-
tenant.

"Why, 1 from Frau von Diamant. I was to bring the
food with me."

The lieutenant's wrath knows no bounds.

"Jochen Päsel, you are the greatest ass that goes about
on two legs!" he shouts in anger. "You were to bring
the food from the hotel, not from Frau von Diamant!"

After 2 the lieutenant has vented his fury, he takes
three thalers from his purse and says to Jochen, "Here
are three thalers. Go at once to the confectioner's and
buy the finest cake 3 he has in the shop. Do you under-
stand me correctly, you ass?"

"At your service, 4 lieutenant," responds Jochen Päsel.

"Take the cake to Frau von Diamant. Say that you
have long been known as [an] ass, and that she must 6
graciously pardon you. If 6 the cake tastes half as good

"At your service, 49 lieutenant," replies the servant.

And Jochen goes and takes the cake to the
lady. 1

"The lieutenant's compliments to 2 Frau von Dia-
mant" —

"What are you bringing there, my good lad?"

— "and says he has long been known as [an] ass," —
"St! St!" laughs the lady, "we know that already. "

— "and you must 8 graciously pardon him, and here is a
cake to give 4 you joy."

The lady laughs heartily.

"Tell the lieutenant we will talk about the matter
later, when he comes back." While speaking, 6 she
presses a thaler into his hand as 6 [a] reward for his
trouble.

She thinks that 7 now Jochen will go, but 8 he does not
stir from the spot. He holds out his hand and stares
into it 9 as if 10 he never had seen 11 a thaler before.

The Adventures of Baron von Münchhausen.

2 Baron von Münchhausen is said 8 to have lived in
the last century on an estate in the province of Hano-
ver. Among 4 the stories of 6 his past lif e which he
used to relate to his friends, was one about 6 a journey
on horseback through Poland. i, (

He used to begin with a description 7 of the unusually
snowy winter, and of the barren waste of snow through
which he had 8 to ride for hours at a time. 9

He began to wonder (at it), he said, that 10 he did not
come to a village nor u [to] a single house in the course
of a whole day. But at nightfall he was so tired that
he had to dismount where lie was. After 12 he had tied
his horse to a sort of stump projecting 18 out of the snow,
and had shared with the animal a large piece of bread
which he had been so provident 14 [as J to bring with

him, 1 he was thankful to stretch himself out upon the
snow, with his saddle for [a] pillow. v^

He called himself fortunate when he perceived that
the cold northwind had 2 suddenly changed to a softer
wind, and soon he closed 8 his eyes.

" On awaking 4 from 6 the deep sleep into which 6 I
had fallen, and looking 7 around," the baron con-
tinued, 8 "where do you suppose 9 I found myself?"

And he would describe 10 his astonishment as he looked
about. To find himself lying u in the midst of a village
made him uncertain whether 12 he was still dreaming or
not. But he could hear his horse whinnying, 18 and when
at last he looked upward and saw it hanging 13 from the
top of the church tower, everything became clear to him.

He saw that since 14 the snow had entirely covered the
village, the evening before it was not strange that he ^ AC &■*' v ..
should have taken ^ the tower for a stump and tied his
horse to it, because the snow had entirely covered the
village the eyeningr before. Then as the snow gradu-
ally meltea away dur ing his sleep he had sunk down to
the ground without waking. 16

The baron now hastened 16 to free his horse from its
uncomfortable situation by shooting 17 through the reins,
so that it could slide gently down the tower. After 18
he had joyfully greeted his old comrade, he decided to

stop at a hotel ; and here, he had another strange ad-
venture. 1

While 2 he was eating a refreshing breakfast, he made
the acquaintance of a man who had seated himself at 8
the same table. The latter, 4 a postillion, said that he
had also spent the night in the snow. " Suddenly," the
baron said, " [there] came clear and melodious tones
from 6 the postillion's horn, which 6 was hanging on a H 1 ^ *
nail by the chimney.

The horn was playing of itself! The melodies
which, 7 the day before, 8 were frozen into the horn as 9
soon as the postillion had blown them in, were now be-
ing gradually thawed 10 out by 11 the heat. 12 A more
interesting table concert would be hard 18 to find.

Another of this passionate hunter's adventures is as
follows. 14 A hare was once being pursued by 16 /a,grey-
hound, when 16 the baron noticed, 17 that the former had
eight legs, four on its.teck^ When 18 its two lower
pairs were tired, it would turn over and spring away on
its two fresh [pairs]. He hardly 19 expected 20 to get it,
for he saw that it could be overtaken only by 21 a dog
which could run remarkably fast. But his excellent
greyhound finally caught a it. tu<* «

The baron could use this little dog at night as well
as M in the day-time, for with a lantern tied 24 to its tail,

it served him to light his path. It finally wore off its
legs close under its body. But, as x it could then Jbe
used as [a] "Dachshund," it remained in his service A '* t
until its last days.

One day the baron found so much game, 2 tha£ he shot
away all his bullets. Just then a. fine,ptag' was started
by 8 his dog. Taking 4 some (merty-stdlies* from his 6
pocket, the baron at once decided 6 to load with powder,
put in a handful [of the] cherry-stones from his pocket,
and shot at the stag.

The animal was hit in the middle of the forehead, 7
but in spite of 8 some staggering 9 it succeeded 61 in tak-
ing 10 to its heels and escaping. 10 wt,. *- **"-

Two years later, when u the baron went to the same
wood to hunt, he saw a strong stag coming 12 up to him.
He says that he remembered M his former shot. He no-
ticed that a cherry-tree, ten feet high, 14 full of the finest
cherries, was growing M between the horns of the animal.
Therefore he only had to send a bullet through its
head to have both, 16 venison 17 and sauce.

Once the baron saw a hare running 18 diagonally across
the road. In pursuing 19 it, his horse gracefully sprang
through the open windows of a carriage which had 20
(just) come between him and the hare. The baron
would have taken off his hat and begged pardon of the

ladies sitting 1 in the carriage, if 2 his horse had not
gone 8 so quickly that he could not do this. 4

The baron says that on the afternoon of this wonder-
ful adventure, he also hunted and caught [from] twen-
ty-five to thirty hares. Then, however, 6 his horse,
in trying 6 toTeap across a slough which lay in his way,
had the misfortune 7 to sink up to his neck in the mud.

Never could there be greater need of immediate help. ^
In an instant the baron had gripped the horse firmly with
his legs and seized his own queue * with his right hand.
Thus hunter and horse were drawn safely into the air.

At this moment he noticed a number of wild ducks
flying 8 out of the bushes. He could have made a sure
shot if the flint of the musket had not sprung off. But
he knew what to do. He relates that when he had
taken aim, ^ he struck himself in the ej^e, and so many
sparks flew out that the powder was set on fire and the
shot went off. ^ Five pair of ducks, four geese and a
few water-hens were hit.

At the end 9 of this story the baron always used to re-
mark, 10 that presence of mind often led u to unexpected
results in life and was the soul of manly deeds. And
when he had related enough for one evening, he would
promise still more remarkable stories for the next.

DEVILS IN THE MEADOWS OF HEAVEN. 47

The Devils in the Meadows of Heaven.
By Budolph Baumbach.

Many people 2 suppose 2 that good children who have 8
died and gone to (the) heaven, have nothing to do but 4
(to) amuse 6 themselves. But these people are mistaken, 6
for if the angel-children merely flew about all day long
and played hide-and-seek behind the clouds, the angel-
school would not exist. 7

In this school, where the multiplication table is not
known 8 and no geography is needed 9 , the little angels
learn to read out [of] fairy-story books with bright pic-
tures instead [of] out [of] A-B-C books, and for 10 writ-
ing 11 they have silver slates and golden slate pencils.
And when they have been in school three hours in the
morning and two in the afternoon, they are not at all
tired. 12

Doctor Faust is the school-teacher in heaven. If a
certain story belonged here, you would see why he has
to keep school, after having taught 13 on earth. They
say 14 however, that in three thousand years the great
vacation will begin for him. ^

Every Wednesday and Saturday afternoon, which the
little angels have free, Doctor Faust takes them to walk
on the milky way. But what 16 they especially delight in,

is playing on the great blue meadow before the gate of
heaven. On Sunday they are allowed 1 to play here,
where grow the thousands upon thousands [of] shining 2
golden and silver flowers which are called stars by us
mortals.

There 8 they are supervised 4 by 6 Saint Peter, whose
duty 6 it is to k^ep watch at 7 the gate. Doctor Faust is
not present, for' he needs rest 8 in order to recover from
the toil of the past week. Saint Peter takes care that
ft-^ UQJie of the little angels go too far from the gate. He
has a golden key on which he can blow if any of them
should try to run or fly away, and they know that means
"Come back."

Usually 9 everything goes very nicely in their play. But
once, on a very hot day, Saint Peter fell asleep. The lit-
tle angels soon noticed it, and scattered hither and thither
over the whole meadow. Some were so enterprising [as]
to go on explorations, until they finally came to the place
where long ago 10 the world was shut in with boards. Af-
ter diligent 11 search they could not find the smallest
crack through which they could peep, so u they had to
flutter up and look over.

There on the other side they saw a crowd of little coal-

black devils, with horns on their heads and long tails be-
hind, idling 1 about before the gate of hell. No sooner 2
had the angels been perceived by one of the little devils,
who happened to be looking upward, than all his com-
panions 8 began to beg for admission into (the) heaven.
They begged that the angels would 4 let them in for
just a short time, and promised that they would behave
themselves very properly./

The angels, who were pleased 6 with the little black
fellows, began to whisper that they were sorry for the
poor little devils, and to think that they might safely 6
grant them this innocent pleasure.

One of them said that he knew 7 where (the) Jacob's
ladder was standing and proposed 8 that they bring it
there. They si$ceede£ in raising 9 it over the barricade
of boards and letting it down. The little tailed fellows
there below could climb like apes, and were soon in the
heavenly meadows.

The devil's grandmother is said 10 to have a great re-
gard for propriety 68 and to have taught them all to carry
their tails over their arms like trains, and to walk about
properly. But such orderly behavior 11 was not often to
be expected 12 from them, and it was not long 69 before
they began to be ungovernable, to turn cart-wheels and

to shriek like real devils. Then they dared 1 to ridicule
the moon, which they saw looking out of a window in
heaven. Finally they noticed the flowers on the meadow,
and soon they had torn up many and thrown them down
to the earth. In spite of 2 their entreaties 8 and threats, 4
the little angels, who had now become frightened, could
not prevent 5 their guests from carrying 6 on more and
more madly.

Then the angels, bitterly regretting 7 their deed, de-
cided 8 to wake Saint Peter and confess everything to
him. When he became aware of the mischief 72 which
the devils were doing in heaven, he was very angry. 9
Clapping 10 his hands together over his head, he com-
manded 11 the angels with thundering voice to march in. f» <- >v>vtt*/.
When the last little [one] had 12 crept through the gate,
he had a few strong angels called to him. The devils
were soon caught and carried where they belonged.

The little angels were told that 18 punishment would
not be delayed, and that they might not go before the
gate [for] three Sundays in succession. And a greater
disgrace was their having to take off their wings and
lay aside their halos when they went to walk.

Nevertheless, 14 the affair was not without some good.

People say 1 that the flowers thrown 2 upon the earth by
the little devils, took root and increased from year to
year. We air like* to look at the golden disk and white
crown of the star-flower. Although 4 much of its heavenly
beauty is of course lost, a special power is said to re-
side in it, by virtue of 6 its heavenly origin. Many [a]
maiden has pulled off its petals one by one, while 6 she
whispered a certain formula, so that with the last petal
she might know what she was longing to find out.

^ TJie Suit about the Donkey's Shadow.

From Wielands History of the Abderites. (Abbreviated.)
Chapter 1.

One day Struthion, a dentist established in the city
[of] Abdera, wished to practice his calling in the neigh-
boring city of Gerania. Since the way which led there
was very long, he rented a donkey for a certain sum.

"I shall accompany you on foot, 73 Sir," said the
owner, a mule-driver named Anthrax, " because I want
to take care of the donkey and bring it home in the
evening."

As they were going over a great plain, the dentist be-

gan to find the heat of the summer day almost unendu-
rable. He could scarcely J get a breath of fresh air, and
far and wide 74 no shady place was to be found. At last
the sun shone so unbearably hot upon his head, that,
after he had looked about him in vain 2 for a tree or
bush, he determined 8 to stop 76 and to sit down a minute
in the shadow of the donkey. As he dismounted, how-
ever, Anthrax asked him, what he was doing and what
it meant, 76 and demanded 4 that he should either 5 pay
for the shadow or get up and continue his journey.

The dentist, who thought that the mule-driver was only
joking, laughed and answered that it was understood 78 + 4'^*** ?>,
that the shadow went with the donkey. The defiant F"^ <■■&*-
mule-driver, however, said that the donkey, was one .thing. - S . r
and the shadow another, 79 and that he was entirely in ("" ^^
earnest. Neither he nor Struthion had said a word about
the shadow when they bargained about the donkey.
Struthion ought 6 to have paid for the shadow when
he hired the donkey, if he wanted to have that besides.

" I should be a threefold ass myself, if I did that,"
cried the dentist, and insisted 7 that the donkey was his . ■<*„.•
for the whole day, and that he should sit in its shadow
as long as he chose. 81

"Then you must come to the city judge at Abdeya , / A
/qA^^without delay," said Anthrax with all the obstinacy ofa /
v J cold-blooded Abderite mule-driver. " You may depend
upon it, M he will not allow J you to take the shadow of
my donkey from me against my will.'*

The dentist would have liked to bring the mule-
driver to terms 88/ by the strength of his arm. But when
he had measured his man with his eyes, 84 his raised
arm gradually sank and he stopped 2 clenching his fist.
No way remained in short, ^ but to try once more, with ,
milder measures. Anthrax, however, relying 8 on ob- rtfy- Ut
taining 4 his rights, was obstinate. At last, instead of
wasting more breath, Struthion returned with him to
Abdera.

Chapter 2.

The judge before whom the dentist and the mule-
driver now brought their case, was called Philippides.
He was diligent in his office, and had the reputation ^
of judging 6 (the) people with great clemency. It is

last could always convince 1 him that he was in the right.
But aside from this little peculiarity 2 Philippides had so
many merits, that the Abderites made allowances 86 for
this one fault. They thought that without it a man of
such patience and honesty would have been one of the
best judges among those who had been known in Abdera.

This worthy judge thought 8 the case of the two men
who now came running before him [was] very confused,
for each of the two seemed to be a plaintiff. They both
told the affair at the same time with all its attendant
circumstances, and screamed so loud that the judge could
make neither head nor tail 88 of the case. He shrugged
his shoulders and with his usual forbearance begged
them to state their case once more, one after the other.

Struthion complained of the mule-driver that he had
prevented 4 him from having 6 the benefit of the shadow
of the donkey 6 he had hired for the day. He said that
the shadow was never mentioned in such a contract, but
that 7 it always went with the donkey. Therefore the
contract had been broken by the mule-driver.

" As the shadow is an accessory of the donkey," said
the judge, "the one who rented the donkey should Jiave
the benefit of the shadow also." * ;*.'Ujjix,

Anthrax, however, l answered : " I must confess, that
I rented the donkey, and that I was paid 2 half 8 the
price in advance. But the donkey is one thing and the
shadow another, 7Q and since, I had 'jrented only the
fanner, I had a right to dispose of the latter as I chose. 4
The dentist made my donkey stand in the sun, in
order that he might sit in its shadow. It is clear that
he has appropriated to himself a thing 87 that he had
not rented. It is ^only right that he should pay for
the shadow w^eäst half of what he paid for the
donkey." y

In great perplexity the judge counselled them, " Settle
with each other amicably." 89 He advised Struthion to
give the mule-driver half a drachma and tried 5 to
convince 6 Anthrax that a shadow was nothing but a
shadow and should therefore be included in the
rent.

But each insisted on his rights. The dentist demanded
his, and said he would not pay the smallest part of a
drachma for the shadow.

Anthrax answered that he could control his own prop-

erty. And instead l of letting the shadow be included
in the rent, he now demanded twice as much for it.

At last it occurred to the judge who could think
of no other pretext to gain time, to have the chief char-
acter in the play brought into court. But after the
donkey had stood there and stared them all in the face,
had snapped his jaws and dropped his cars, Philippides
was still in perplexity. It was a pity that its opinion of
the affair could not be given.

The owner of the donkey, considering it a good sign
that the gentlemen inspected 2 the donkey, claimed that
on so hot a day as this, the shadow of the tall, handsome
beast was worth at least two drachmas. w

The judge had to try conciliation again, and the oppo-
nents were approaching an agreement 91 when a new turn
was given to the affair by two lawyers. They came up
and asked what the conversation was about. Since Stru-
thion was considered a prosperous man, one of the law-
yers rushed in ahead of his comrade and proclaimed hinv-^
self on the side of the dentist. The other, after a side- h j, x

glance at the donkey, which looked as if it was worth a
good price, 1 promised 2 the mule-driver to help him to his
rights. Therefore they began again to dispute. 8

" Since you will not hear a word of compromise," said
the judge, finally, " I must appoint a trial, the donkey,
as object of the lawsuit, shall be taken to the public sta-
ble." The two men therefore went home to wait 4 until
the appointed day.

Chapter 3.

When the rumor of the lawsuit spread abroad, it imme-
diately 6 made [a] sensation in the city of Abdera. Only
think with what interest every one would talk of such »
a case. Scarcely had some taken the side of the dentist
or the mule-driver when others began to insist that the
donkey also must have his rights.

" He would be justified," they said, " in claiming 6 in-
demnity. He was evidently most defrauded by the de-
mand that he should stand in the sun while 7 the dentist
sat in his shadow." /

From this hour they could not have carried on the
affair with more zeal if they had had a great deal to win
or lose by it. In a word, all other subjects of conversa-
tion were dropped, 8 as if the said donkey had cast his

shadow over all Abdera, and the welfare of the repub-
lic was at stake. M

In the early times of the republic, the Abderites di-
vided all the citizens into guilds. In the guild to which
Struthion according to an old custom belonged were
included at first only shoemakers and cobblers. But
afterward they admitted all kinds of menders, and finally
menders of people. Therefore, by virtue of this old
custom, surgeons and dentists belonged to the cobbler's
guild. Struthion's superior, the guildmaster Pfriem,
to whom he now naturally turned, and all the cobblers
were on his side.

Pfriem, in his well known patriotic zeal for the lib-
erties of the republic, immediately declared: "The
rights of Abdera shall never be violated in your person.
I would sooner be stabbed with my own awl than let
that happen."

With his usual heat, he asked what would become of
their freedom if a citizen was not free to sit in a shadow,
whether 1 it was the shadow of a donkey, a tree, or even v
of the great court-house. Struthion might rely upon J^

him, he would never let it come gg to that 1 as long as
his name was Pfriem. The mule-driver ought to allow
him the donkey also for his due satisfaction.

Anthrax in the mean time 2 had also sought a pro-
tector. The latter, the chief priest of the Jason temple,
easily held his own with 98 the guild-master, for the peo-
ple revered him like a god. As Anthrax was a freed
man who had long 3 lived in the precincts of the Jason
temple and so been under its direct jurisdiction, he knew
he must not fail 97 to secure the favor of the head of the
temple. His request \*as kindly received by the chief
priest who was not inclined 99 to permit that a man
standing under the protection of Jason should be ex-
posed to the tricks of a lawyer.

"The case is absurd in itself," be said, "but no open
cabal nor 4 partial 6 guildmaster shall oppress 6 the least
prot£g£ of this temple."

But although the chief priest took the matter so se-
riously, many of the citizens at first regarded it as an
absurd dispute, and blamed the judge for not having 7
nipped it in the bud. 102 As the affair began to turn the
heads 103 of the citizens, however, the greater part of the

ness. It must be said for the sake of truth, 100 that some
seem to have taken the side 105 of the mule-driver because
they really felt that injustice had been done him. But
there were others who joined a party from a mere spirit
of opposition, in order to be the opponents of certain
people with whom they were never of the same opinion.

Things had not been in this ferment long before the
adherents of Struthion's party began to designate them-
selves as the "Shadows," and those who were not of the
same opinion about his right to the shadow as " Donkeys."
Their opponents took the name given in scorn and de-
rision, and found it easy to turn the tables 106 and con-
nect the idea of contempt 1 with the Shadows and that of
honor 2 with the Donkeys. They said that any brave
fellow who must be one of the two, would rather be a
real live donkey than the mere shadow of one.

After these names began to be universally used, and
the zeal on both sides had increased violently, great dis-
order arose from it. It was soon a real misfortune for
either a Shadow or a Donkey to be the only one of his
party in a house with a number of citizens. If he did

not change his views on the spot, he would soon be
thrust out of the door with violent blows.

In a little while the bitterness had gone so far that
whenever two citizens met on the street they were com-
pelled to ask which side each was taking 106 in the contest^
instead of exchanging the usual questions ; and a Don-
key would not buy bread of a Shadow, even l if starva-
tion 2 were reducing him to a real ghost.

While the men were taking sides so hotly, we may
rely upon it that the women would not remain neutral
long, and we may easily imagine the consequences.
Many a fair [maid] broke off a love affair because her
lover had not been able to convince her that he was a Don-
key, and many a lover instead of having to sue years for
favor, needed only to give up his party to be happy. Even
the fishwives in the public market took sides, and it is
said that 3 two of these women once scratched each other's
faces, 107 and so shed the first blood in this civil war.

Since no existing law could be quoted for the decision 4
of this most serious case about the shadow, the affair
was brought before the " Great Council" of the republic.
A stormy debate preceded the decision 6 to give tfce first *
day of the following month to this question. ^ , ■ < **

Chapter 4.

At last the decisive day approached. By daybreak
Shadows and Donkeys were on their feet. They were
in too great agitation to take 1 breakfast properly, and
all provided themselves with strong clubs and knives,
or hid daggers under their clothes.

The Shadows filled the whole market-place, and be-
trayed their sentiments by a noisy cheer whenever a
judge of the Shadow-party ascended to the porch of the
temple opposite them. Complainant and defendant were
therQ early 2 to take their proper places and the four
hundred men of which the "Great Council" was com-
posed, had all assembled, but still they waited for the
president who always appeared late on such occasions.

In the mean time, however, the whole assembly was re-
stored to its natural good humor by some music of the
president's composition. The witty conceits to which
occasion was thus given, caused great laughter. After
they had interrupted the music continually, with stale
jokes, and had compared, for instance, the allegro with a
battle-cry, the adagio with a funeral song 8 the party

violence that still possessed them, had, unnoticed by
them, lost its venom. Thus they were prepared for the
trial, and the music, instead of merely entertaining
them, seems to have contributed more than anything
else to the preservation of the state.

A new outburst of merriment was caused by the ap-
pearance of the president's body-guard. It was grotesque
to see the clumsiness 1 of these poor workmen, who had
been armed with dull halberds and rusty swords in
order to give the court dignity in the eyes of the people.
The way they looked might have frightened the birds.
That war-like outfit could never give them the appear-
ance of soldiers.

With much difficulty the herald got the people to keep
quiet. The meeting was opened by a short speech from
the president. Then the herald, after he had again com-
manded silence, summoned the lawyers. They, of
course, 2 treated the case with the greatest seriousness.
For, to be a master of his art, a lawyer must have such

a legal mind that he seizes with enthusiasm any l oppor-
tunity to be heard even in such an absurd case as this.

Struthions counsel Physignatus was the first who
showed his genius and his power as an advocate by car-
rying on with seriousness and pathos a a suit m which
was so ludicrous in itself. Being a man of strong and
mighty lungs he was sure of success. Since he could
rely on having Abderites for hearers he made his art
consist merely in giving life and expression to his ad-
dress by the modulation of his* voice within the compass
of an octave and a half. To-day he surpassed him-
self by letting his voice spring from one interval to
another. He made moreover so many grimaces and
gesticulations that merely through them, he would have
made himself intelligible to his hearers.

Stepping 3 forward, he addressed the Four-hundred by
calling them noble, wise and powerful and then began
to praise 4 the lawgivers of Abdera, who were busied
with a case the decision of which the magistrates in a
less free state would not have considered important

enough for discussion. 1 To live under the protection
of a court of justice to which the smallest rights of the
citizens were sacred, was to enjoy a freedom, the glory
of which was now fully revealed. When he appeared
among the expectant crowd on this great day, he felt
more fortunate than ever before in being a citizen of Ab-
dera.

The object of this lawsuit, he said seemed so insig-
nificant that it had been omitted 2 from the catalogue 8
of articles 4 which the law recognized 5 as property. It
was something to which a dialectician might even have
refused a name and yet it had become an object of uni-
versal interest. In no other republic, however sharply
the laws of property might be defined, did the government
regard the claims of the people to such an extent 6 that
the supreme court would recognize any man's right to
a mere 7 shadow.

mony to their excellent constitution he on the other
hand lamented that the whole-hearted simplicity [known]
in 1 their elders had decreased 2 lamentably 8 among them-
selves. These he said had sometimes waived their rights
out of friendship, while now there was such a decrease
of good-heartedness that a niggardly and selfish Abde-
rite could refuse a fellow-citizen even a shadow.

But here Physignatus begged pardon for the uninten-
tional insult, for no such disgrace attached to any
Abderite. The city could not be contaminated by the
misdeed of a man who was not a native 4 but merely tol-
erated as an inhabitant. Such an inhuman fellow must
have been a man from the dregs of the people, and was,
— as was to be expected, — a mule-driver.

Then, to show that he did not call the deed by too
strong a name, the lawyer begged his hearers to put
themselves in Struthion's place as he travelled to Gera-
nia to lessen the sufferings of his fellow-beings. He pic-
tured 6 the sultry summer day, the glowing horizon
which seemed to have been transformed into an oven,
and the scorching rays of the sun, subdued by no clouds.

THE SUIT. 87

The flaming sun blinded 1 the wanderer's eyes and seemed
to suck the marrow from his bones. If he could only
have breathed a mouthful of fresher air, or been safe
one instant from the severe heat of the sun, he would
have recovered a little. But however anxiously he
looked about him for a shady place, there was no refuge 2
to be found. On the road to Gerania there was no tree
nor shrub to be seen in whose protection he might
escape 8 the glowing arrows of remorseless Apollo.
Human nature cannot endure such heat too long, and at
last Struthion had to stop the donkey, and then sank
down exhausted.

"Under these circumstances," cried Physignatus, "be
it said to the shame of such an unfeeling monster as
this mule-driver, my client was refused even such a poor
means of recovery as a donkey's shadow. And this stony-
hearted [fellow], incredible as it seems, actually boasts
of his shame, and dares 4 to acknowledge it of his own
accord, m and to assert before this court that he did
right! We are not going to be persuaded that An-
thrax had an exclusive right to the shadow."

Then came the real argument. He said that a shadow
could not be considered a real thing, because it was
made by nothing positive. Light was merely withdrawn
from the place where the shadow was, while it lay upon
the objects that surrounded the shadow. If it was not
the " mulishness " of the donkey but his corporeity and
opacity which made him cast the shadow, then his
client did not sit in the shadow of a donkey but in the
shadow of a body. Since therefore a shadow could
be cast by every opaque body, no one had any direct
right to a shadow, let alone 1 an exclusive [right].
What sort of (a) body it was that cast a certain shadow
had nothing to do with the case, 112 and could not
concern 118 anyone who was using it.

But, Physignatus continued, even if a shadow was
classified 2 as a thing, it must be reckoned among the
things common to all, and therefore he who had first
taken possession of it had in so doing 3 won the best
right to it. If the shadow was not an appurtenance of the
donkey, every one had as much right to it as Anthrax.

But even if the shadow were an appurtenance of the
donkey, Physignatus showed 4 that the other side could

gain nothing by his admitting 1 it. For it is understood
in every contract of rental, that all the appurtenances of
a thing are given with it for the use of the lessee. A
man who sold a lyre, for instance, 2 could not demand
that he be paid for its sound whenever anyone played
on it, and Anthrax' demand to have the shadow of the
donkey paid for was just as absurd. Beyond contra-
diction, Anthrax had either possessed himself of some-
thing to which he had no right, and taken usury, or in
so far as the shadow was really his, he had denied to
a neighbor to whom it was almost indispensable the
smallest thing that could be mentioned. The dilemma*
was clear to all.

Then Physignatus, speaking further to the noble and
powerful Four-hundred, said that inasmuch as the gods
themselves need not blush to lay their disputes before
the court of Abdera, so, such an outrage ought not
to find protection here, since, in order to discern on
which side the right lies one has only to hear the case
stated. No more reasons need (to) be given.

Therefore Physignatus demanded, in the name of his
client, that [the case of] the plaintiff be dismissed, and
that the latter be sentenced to pay all the costs of the

trial. He begged the court not to let such an outrage
find protection among them in a place where disputes had
always been decided with such justice, that the gods
themselves might come before it without blushing. The
satisfaction he demanded, he said, was the least Anthrax
owed, and was 1 not at all in proportion to the greatness
of his crime. He and the other "Donkeys" had dis-
turbed and attacked the business of the dentist in count-
less ways. He had dared to trouble the highest court
of the republic with such a frivolous case. Contention
and danger had been brought into the whole state by his
contemptible behavior. Then, pointing 2 to the count-
less citizens crowded upon the terraces around the judg-
ment place, Physignatus demanded satisfaction in the
name of his injured fellow-citizens, and declared 3 that
the welfare of the republic depended on the judgment
which the court should give.

He stopped speaking, and the people in the market-
place, who had taken fresh courage 114 during his speech,
shouted their approval so loudly and continued 4 it 5 so
long that the judges feared they would break up the
whole trial. But quiet was at last restored, and the

party of the chief priest waited anxiously until Poly-
phonus, a sturdy man with curly hair and black eye-
brows, had come forward and raised his voice.

Polyphonus said that he left all the jugglery of
rhetoric to his opponent. It was not his business to
consider whether or not the Republic [of] Abdera would
derive honor and renown from a suit over a donkey's
shadow. It did not become him to derive advantage
from oratory, to bribe the judges by flattery, or to
frighten them by threats. Only a man who was in the
wrong could need such help, for truth, like light had
this advantage over 115 all other things, that it could not
be concealed. 1

" Therefore," he said, "instead of trying to dazzle the
judges by my discourse, or to pull the wool over their
eyes, 116 1 shall prove how much less in the wrong is my
client than his opponent. The judge will not let the
elocutionary arts of my opponent deceive 2 him, and
I shall not need to remind him of his duty." 117

Here his speech was interrupted with cries and
threats from the crowd. Polyphonus was not able to
continue, until silence was once more obtained by the
president's rising from his ivory throne, by the militia's
thrusting out their long spears and by the herald's re-
peatedly calling the people to order. 118

He gave the Four-hundred tö understand that he
spoke as [a] deputy of the high priest, his illustrious
and reverend master, not merely as [an] advocate of the
mule-driver Anthrax. It would not be difficult to
prove that Anthrax' case was the nearer right of the
two and that due satisfaction should be given him.

Unlike his opponent, he did not intend to waste his
words 119 but to come immediately to the point. 120

His argument was that the dentist had rented the don-
key for a definite purpose, 1 to carry him eight miles to
Gerania. At the rental, neither had thought that Stru-
thion might want to dismount in the middle of the plain
and force the donkey to stand longer in the sun. And
in spite of the asinine turn given the affair by Anthrax,
which was simply the joke of a man who had always
lived among donkeys, Struthion ought to have recom-

ing. Since Anthrax grew up entirely among donkeys,
he gained a sort of right to be classed with those animals.
But Struthion, who ought to have acted like a sensible
and just man, had no excuse 2 for taking 3 this joke in
earnest. If Struthion had only given the mule-driver

half a drachma, they would not have fallen out over a
shadow, but would soon have gone peacefully on their
way.

If Struthion had been an honest or a just man he
would have remunerated the mule-driver for the time the
donkey was kept standing in the sun. If he had done
so Anthrax would gladly have consented to the dentist's
sitting in the shadow and recovering his breath. But
instead of speaking in a friendly tone, he insisted on his
rights by virtue of the contract. Anthrax flies into a
passion, 121 and thus this absurd case was brought before
the court. 122

Polyphonus ended by ascribing 1 the present lawsuit
to his colleague Physignatus. Without his intervention, 2
he said, the dentist would have made a compromise. 124
He then proposed that for the service thus rendered, the
judges should have Physignatus' ears cropped and some
donkey's ears put on instead. He promised in the name
of his principal that Anthrax should be given twenty-

five lashes as a reward for his indiscretion. The high
priest, however, would not fail to demand that the court
award his subordinate the damages due him.

After the deep silence caused by this unexpected
speech of Polyphonus, the good impression he had pro-
duced became evident. 1 Nearly all the four hundred men
now saw the affair in the new light in which Polyphonus
had put it, and there were scarcely twenty left who did
not want to award damages to the priest. They blamed
the instigators of the lawsuit, and wanted to appoint
a commission to discover 2 the man who had carried a
simple affair to such lengths.

But Physignatus was forced by this proposal to reply.
He reminded 3 them that his opponent had openly con-
fessed that the complaint entered 4 by his client was un-
founded, and had been based on a merely supposed right
of possession. But in spite of acknowledging that his
case was unjust, he had dared to talk of indemnification.

One question constituted the object of the dispute,
whether right of possession in the donkey extended to
its shadow.

"Since my opponent," said Physignatus, "has not
been able to prove this, he talks about deterioration of
the donkey, which has nothing to do with the case. I
claim a just sentence for my lawful demand."

The bewildered judges were silent, but the people
murmured, and the "Shadows" began to hold up their
heads again. The president turned again to the counsel
for the plaintiff and asked what he had to say in answer
to his opponent. Polyphonus replied, but he added little
to what he had already said. He repeated 1 that every one
had been at fault, complainant, defendant, the judge who
heard the case first, and all Abdera. An evil wind
seemed to have blown upon them all. It was to be
hoped that the judges would end the procedure as soon
as they could.

"This farce does not depend upon my efforts 2 for
its success. I do not lack breath to speak for my client's
right to the shadow, and if I were commanded to do so
I could speak from sunrise to sunset. But I will leave
the case to you. Speak as the gods have inspired you."

If chance, the great protector of all Abderites, had
not taken the judges under its care at 1 this time, it is
hard to see how they would have come out of the affair
with honor. But before they could take any means to
release themselves 2 from this embarrassment, an unex-
pected close was suddenly given to the drama.

Chapter 5.

While the donkey's shadow was causing such strange
darkness in the brains of the Abderites, the donkey
itself was being cared for in the public stables, where it
had been led to stay until the outcome of the law-suit.
On the morning when the affair was to come to an end,
it occurred to the stablemen to curry the donkey, deco-
rate it with ribbons, and lead it with great pomp to the
temple. If the poor animal, which, as chance would
have it, was again to be chief actor 128 in the drama, had
not arrived at the market-place just as Polyphonus was
finishing his speech, the judges would not have known
[how] to help themselves.

Countless street-arabs were making a great noise

around the donkey, and everybody rushed and crowded
toward the side where it was coming. Some of the peo-
ple began to cry out that the donkey had ruined them
all, 129 and that it would have been better if he had been
taken by wolves before he could bring such a lawsuit
upon their heads. 180 Then a tinker shouted that the
donkey should yet atone for it, 18a and the whole crowd
rushed upon it 181 and tore it into a thousand pieces.
Not even a hair of its tail was left. The eagerness with
which they wrestled and fought and beat each other for
the fragments, had no parallel. 188 In a few minutes
those whose plunder had not been . torn from them had
run home with it, the others had pursued them, and the
market-place was empty. In the meantime the four
hundred men, falling into great anxiety, had pulled out
the glittering daggers they were secretly carrying under
their cloaks. But as soon as they saw the cause of the
uproar, they could do nothing but look at each other in
amazement and then break into irrepressible laughter.

The president was the first to come to himself. He
saw that since the people had wreaked their vengeance 186
on the innocent cause of the lawsuit, it was now pos-
sible to restore the general quiet. It only depended on

a good decision on the part of the judges. Thanking
Heaven for the fitting outcome given to the affair, he
thereupon proposed that since it would do no good 136 to
rack their brains over 184 the shadow of a donkey that no
longer existed, they should publicly declare the whole
matter ended. Also that the costs should be restored
to both parties from the public treasury, and that they
should have a monument erected to the donkey at the
expense of the state. "May this ever serve as a re-
minder to our descendants," he said, "how easily a great
republic might be destroyed." As this was certainly the
wisest decision which any one could have reached, 187 all
were glad to clap their approval of the proposal and
thus buy peace for the republic. Now that this attack
of madness was over, the Abderites themselves did not
fail to laugh at their foolishness. The story was put
into a ballad, and the people were soon singing it in all
the streets, as if the affair had never concerned them in
the least. Within a few weeks a comedy was also made
from it, for which the music was composed by the presi-
dent. And with both parties its presentation won the
greatest applause.

The Princess en the Pea.
By Hans Chbistian Andkbsbn.

There was once 1 a prince who wanted to marry a
princess ; but she was 2 to be a real 8 princess. So 4 he
travelled about, all through the world, 188 to find a real
one, but everywhere [there] was something in 6 the
way. There were 6 princesses enough, but whether 7
they 8 were real princesses he could not quite make out :
there was always something that did not seem quite
right. 189 So 9 he came 10 home again, and was quite
sad : for he wished so much 140 to have a real princess.

One evening n a terrible storm came on. It lightened
and thundered ; the rain streamed down ; it was quite
fearful! Then there was a knocking 12 at the town
gate, and the old king went out to open it.

It was a princess who stood outside 18 the gate. But,
mercy ! 14 how she looked, from the rain and the rough
weather! The water ran down from 16 her hair and
her clothes ; it ran in 16 at 17 the points of her shoes,
and out 18 at 19 the heels ; and yet she declared that she
was a real princess.

" Yes, we will soon find that out," thought the old
queen. But she said nothing, went into the bed-cham-

ber, took all the bedding 1 off, and put 2 a pea on the
flooring of the bedstead; then she took twenty mat-
tresses and laid them upon the pea and then twenty
eider-down beds upon the mattresses. On this 8 the
princess had 4 to lie all night. In the morning she was
asked how she had slept.

"O, miserably!" said the princess. "I scarcely 6
closed my eyes all night [long]. Goodness 6 knows
what was 7 in my bed. I lay upon something hard, so
that I am black and blue all over. 8 It is quite dread-
ful!"

Now they saw 9 that she was a real princess, for
through the twenty mattresses and the twenty eider-
down beds she had felt the pea. No one but 10 a real
princess could be so delicate.

So the prince took her for his u wife, for now he knew
that he had a true princess ; and the pea was put M in
the museum, where it is still to be 18 seen, unless 14 some-
body has carried it off.

Look you, 16 this is a true story.

The Blessings of Logic.

The renowned professor of logic, Dr. Gypius, sat in
his study at his writing-desk, bent over a book, with a
great pipe in his left hand. After he had read one para-

graph of the work attentively three times without grasp-
ing its meaning, 1 he leaned back in his armchair with an
astonished countenance.

"Hm, remarkable ! " he said to himself half aloud.
44 This famous book is written in the German language
and treats of logic. I understand both the German
language and logic, yet I cannot fathom the meaning of
this chapter. What follows from all this, gentlemen ? 2
The answer is clear. It is not the fault of 8 this unim-
peachable work, but of me. Good ! Now, if I do not
understand what I have read, the cause might be a weak-
ness, or a confusion of mind. But that is not the case,
for I am in a condition 4 to draw correct conclusions. I
now propound the question, 4 Am I in a sober or an in-
toxicated condition?' The correctness of the answer
depends on the correct judgment 6 of the facts. This
morning about two hours ago, I drank a glass of tea, but
besides this 6 I have introduced no sort of 7 nourishment
into my body, either of a liquid or a solid nature. Now
chemistry teaches that tea boiled in water does not con-
tain an atom [of] alcohol ; consequently I am sober, con-
sequently intoxication cannot have caused my inability
to .understand that chapter . . . What possibility of ex-
plaining this phenomenon have we still ? The possibil-
ity, if not also the probability, I say therefore, gentle-
men, the possibility that I am at this instant sleeping
and dreaming vividly. If this is so, 8 then it is impos-

sible for me to assure myself of it. 1 What must I do
under such circumstances, in order to obtain certainty
about the facts ? I must cause another mature person, 2
who is in a waking condition, to determine what the
facts are."

Doctor Gypius rang the electric bell and soon the
trim servant-girl entered the room. " Anna," began the
professor, "I have — "

44 1 beg your pardon, 141 Professor," answered the girl,
smiling roguishly, " my name is still 3 Minna."

44 Very well, dear Minna," began the professor again,
44 1 am in doubt, whether I am now, that is, at this in-
stant, awake or dreaming. There arises for you on the
one hand, 4 as a servant girl, on the other 5 as a fellow-
being who ought to help a neighbor at every opportun-
ity, the unavoidable duty of delivering me from my un-
certainty. Therefore ! "

Again the girl smiled, then she said : 44 1 think you
must be 6 dreaming."

44 Dear Johanna — I beg your pardon, I would say
dear Emilie," returned Professor Gypius, 44 allow me
to reply to your answer as follows. 7 You said first, 4 1
think . . .' That seems to me to be a false manner of
expression, for you must know definitely, whether I am
dreaming or awake, — unless 8 at this instant your ap-
pearance also is a dream, to which 9 I intend to return
later. Secondly, when you gave verbal expression to
your opinion of 10 my condition, you used the expression

„tootjL" That was superfluous, since the preceding
sentence had already shown the hypothetical character
of your opinion by l the verb fc think.' But to business. 2
I will be a little less technical, so that you may under-
stand me more easily." Therefore, dear Clara, we will
assume, that when you leave my room in the immedi-
ate 3 future, you will meet a person, who asks you
whether Professor Gypius is asleep or awake just
now, — what would be the answer you would give, on
the basis 4 of your observations?"

Minna answered, convulsively stifling her laughter,
" Professor Gypius is sitting at his writing-desk and is
not asleep."

" I thank you, dear Augusta," said Professor Gypius,
and added after serious meditation " you may go."

"Now the fact is determined beyond doubt," the
learned man resumed his monologue, " that I am awake
and not asleep nor dreaming. I can explain the strange
occurrence, that I, as a logician, do not understand a
passage in an excellent German book about logic, only
by this, 5 that I am absent-minded. But why am I so, 6
gentlemen ? "

His glance fell on his pipe and his face brightened.

"Possibly because I have not followed the custom
which has become 7 second nature to me, of smoking
while reading."

He stuck the mouthpiece between his lips and began
the reading 8 anew, again without result.

He took the pipe out of his mouth and looked at it.

" Since I neither feel in my mouth, the specific warmth
which one perceives when smoking, nor am sensible of
the smell of tobacco, the supposition that I have not
lighted the tobacco might be justified by the facts."

He leaned over, saw with satisfaction that his infer-
ence fully agreed with the facts and rang the bell.

Minna appeared again.

"Dear Matilda," said Professor Gypius, "will you
kindly hand me a match, so that I may convert the
tobacco into a state of combustion ? " l

Minna approached him with a burning match. In his
absent-mindedness Professor Gypius stuffed the tobacco
into place 2 with Minna's forefinger and began to smoke.

" You may go again, dear Bertha."

The scholar 8 puffed comfortably and again went to
work. Soon he knocked his pipe against the table to
shake out the ashes, and hearing the knock called,
«Come in!"^ No one appeared, however, and after
waiting a few minutes, the professor began to read
again. But it was vain trouble. He could not find out
what the author meant. Professor Gypius now became
seriously disturbed. He bent a little over the table, as
if it were a lecturer's desk, and began in a meditative
voice :

"Although I am sober and awake, understand the
German language, am a specialist in 6 the province 6 of
logic, and am smoking my pipe, I cannot succeed in
grasping the meaning of this chapter. We have to do
with a phenomenal occurrence, gentlemen, which

makes a more thorough investigation necessary. A pro-
fessor of logic who does not understand an exposition
on * logic, would be something so illogical, that we can-
not assume 2 it otherwise than as hypothetical and pro-
visional. We will now try to solve this apparent
riddle by logic itself. After the possibilities of expla-
nation thus far enumerated have proved untenable, we
will continue to seek for other possible causes. Such
could be the presence 8 of great absent-mindedness. And
this absence of mind must be traced back to a deeper
cause. Good ! What circumstances could make me so
absent-minded? With reference to this there would
have to be considered, first, money matters. But there can
be no question of that with me, 142 for since I have no
money, there can be no money matters for me, that is clear.

44 Secondly, family matters ; and (1) family matters in
a broader 4 sense, (2) the same 6 in a narrower sense;
a) I establish the fact, that of my relatives who were
qualified either directly or indirectly to induce absent-
mindedness in me, none are now living; 6 |3) I have to
observe, that I have no children, and that I am at
present 7 unmarrried, — yes, that I am at present un-
married. — Hm — ."

Professor Gypius paused, the wrinkles on his forehead
smoothed out, — over his face spread the sunshine of
bright joy and the learned man now continued, with
raised voice :

44 But 8 future occurrences are able to call forth a con-
centration of the mental powers even in the present,

gentlemen ; and this is and was the case with me. Now
I have succeeded in finding, by purely logical discussion,
the cause of my peculiar absent-mindedness. At twelve
o'clock I am to appear at * the mayor's office 2 of this
place to be married to my betrothed."

Professor Gypius bowed to his imaginary hearers and
rang the bell.

Minna appeared.

" Dear Helen," said the learned man, " with regard to 8
the fact that I must arrive 4 at the mayor's office at
twelve o'clock, for the purpose of fulfilling 6 my offi-
cial marriage 6 with my betrothed, and in consideration
of the circumstance, that it is already a quarter of
twelve, I beg you to get me a carriage."

Minna got the desired conveyance. Professor Gypius
called to the coachman, " To the University, quickly ! "
In this roundabout way 7 he arrived, three quarters of an
hour late, before the office where he was anxiously
awaited.

was it considered x an inevitable req uisite f or a person of
culture 2 to have heard at least one of his concerts, but
for those of musical proclivity 8 it was a question of 4 life
and death to have seen the virtuoso at 5 their own house.
A salon was greatly 6 in danger of losing 7 its painfully
acquired reputation if Liszt had not honored it with a
visit. Much 8 higher than the musical treat, which was
easily attainable for two thalers, stood the consciousness
of being able to say at the proper moment, with ap-
parent nonchalance, but with the blessed 9 assurance of
crushing 7 a less fortunate rival : " Do you know, my
dear, 10 Liszt was with n us on Thursday ? We had only
a few M friends invited to meet him. 148 He played the
Erlkönig ! " Thereupon your w rival would go home,
lie down on the sofa, and have ice and cologne applied 14
to her throbbing lö forehead.

When the excitement in 16 town had reached its height
I found, one evening after coming 17 home exhausted by
a round of lessons to untalented beginners, an invitation
from Frau Geheimrat 18 Pfeffermünze. She asked me to
put in an appearance 19 at her salon that very evening 20
at eight o'clock ; something very unusual must have oc-
curred. Her musical nrot^gfe were in the habit 21 of
assembling on Saturday, once a fortnight; 22 this was

evidently an extra 1 under difficulties. We had never
before been asked so late.

The note bore signs of haste ; Frederick the Great
and Napoleon had granted themselves more time to sign
the orders of cabinet than had the Frau Geheimrat. I
jumped into my dress-coat head over heels, 2 for there
was not a moment to spare, and hastened to the Char-
lotten Strasse.

The first story was illuminated with an unreasonable
profusion of oil and wax. A gentle shiver passed 3 over
my back; in the little reception-room, the inviolable
sanctuary of the Geheimrat in the eyes of young and
giddy musicians, glittered the lights of a chandelier.
The hall door stood wide open with that philosophically
resigned hospitality which in general confines itself to
funerals with four horses. At 4 such supreme moments
the lesser laws of life 5 become void, and even those
beings, which would never be asked to a place 6 at 7 the
family table, were made 8 welcome.

" Heavens ! " I exclaimed in a whispered monologue,
"it cannot be that the Geheimrat has died an 9 unex-
pected death ! " The absurdity of the supposition im-
mediately became apparent, for, as 10 1 passed through the
reception-room, the head of the house appeared before
me in person, at 11 the right of the gilded mirror, sur-
rounded by satellites, and saluted me graciously with a
mild wave of his hand. As long as we could remember

he had not condescended to receive any ordinary musi-
cians, such as we were, 1 personally, for we were never
invited to the higher esoteric fStes. To make his pres-
ence more emphatically imposing, he had adorned him-
self with three or four badges of honor instead of wear-
ing merely the ribbons belonging thereto. 2

What had occurred ? 8 What was about 4 to occur ?

The Geheimrat was to me an unapproachable entity.

I dared not 5 ask him. 6 Etiquette demanded that I
should confine myself 7 to replying if he should address
me. Q His lady 8 might 9 be looked upon as more con-
descending, but to-day I should have to forego 10 any po-
lite advances. J^Ljke the vestal High Priestess in Spon-
tini's opera, she stood in the centre of a group of maidens
festively arrayed. 11 Man, at any other time a much-
sought-for article, had evidently fallen in 12 price. The
young gentlemen, even the boldest lions of society, stood
close together, and did not venture above a whisper. 13 .

What had occurred ? What was about to occur ?

My vague forebodings became 14 certainty as I heard a
pale and criminally 15 lean gentleman, one notorious 16 for 17
his festive odes, say to his neighbor : " He is coming !
You will see the godlike youth face to face." 18 The
person addressed, 19 like the contrite Brahmin, stared at
the tip of his nose, and preserved a worshipful silence,

" I breakfasted with him yesterday. A most delightful
companion ! The very picture 1 of unpretentious sim-
plicity," continued the other. Ah, could he but 2 break-,
fast with him every day, life had looked brighter to
him! 8

Among the bards near by 4 a wild state 5 of excite-
ment made itself felt. 6 Their leader distributed printed
leaflets among them, and the poet stepped nearer 7 to
designate a certain passage in the third stanza which re-
quired a decided crescendo. Just then the Frau Ge-
heimrat came rustling 8 into the circle.

44 Would it not be better," she said, smiling benignly,
but struggling with a nervous tremor, "if the chorus
were to retire 9 into the adjoining room, so as 10 [to have]
the music come u from M a greater distance ? "

"Frau Geheimrat is right," exclaimed the poet en-
couragingly, urging the youths of Berlin into the next
room. " The chant should impress him 13 as coming 14
from another, purer world. Then in the third and last
stanzas 16 the angels descend and greet the genius here
below as [a] brother. Carry out my suggestions, gen-
tlemen, and go into the other room."

The singers would greatly 16 have preferred to.be pres-
ent from 17 beginning to 18 end, but there was nothing
for them 19 but 20 to yield. They took the desired posi-

tion, attentively re-read 1 the melodious lyric made to
fit 2 a well-known tune, and cleared their throats.

The clock on the mantel struck nine ; the Geheimrat
still stood sentinel at the right of the mirror, 8 convers-
ing 4 with the aristocratic element. In the background
preparations for a sacrificial offering of tea seemed to be
going on, 6 but no one ventured to begin the solemn ce-
remony. My conjecture was that the hostess feared
thereby to offend the august spirit of the expected
genius.

It struck a quarter, it struck half-past — still no
Liszt ! —

The Geheimrat and his «esthetic wife moved nearer to
the windows, and started convulsively every time 6 a
carriage passed near enough to give one reason to sus-
pect 7 [it] of 8 an intention of stopping. 9 The assembled
guests had said everything 10 they had to say, and the
need of an impetus, 11 physical or psychical, was making
itself sadly felt. 12

44 We certainly cannot have 18 tea served now. He
may come at any moment. The effect would be 14 quite
lost ! " whispered the Frau Geheimrat as her husband
approached her, reminding ^ her of the bodily needs 16
of her guests.

of geniuses ! " a young lawyer, who was at J other times
the Aristophanes 2 of these receptions, ventured to re-
mark with some bitterness.

" Liszt did not name 3 the hour, I should say by way
of vindication; 4 he merely promised to come. You
know that his time is tasked 5 to the utmost. A king
may seclude himself from his worshippers, but a virtuoso
has not an hour of the 6 day to call 7 his own," said the
Geheimrat, soothingly.

A carriage came rattling wildly up to the door 8 and
stopped. " It is he ! " cried an academic youth, whom
the master of the house had stationed as [a] sentry at 9
the first window.

The moment was overwhelming. As fast as 10 cir-
cumstances would permit 11 the guests grouped pictu-
resquely. The Geheimrat took n the centre at the right
of the mirror : his lady, our gracious patroness, seized the
white silk ribbons on M which the ode had been printed
in gilt letters. The chorus of priestesses arranged itself
artistically about her ; the chorus of Berlin youths began
to sing in the adjoining room; we mutes sent greedy
glances to meet 14 the expected guest.

A nimble young man put 16 his small, coal-black head
through the door, and seemed undecided to whom to turn . 16

44 That is not the blond head of our Samson. A vaunt,
venal slave!" muttered the manufacturer of festive
odes. The black-headed little fellow was actually one
of the secretaries of the genius sent out 1 to calm the
assembly on account of his late arrival 2 ; perhaps, also,
if I rightly judge the much-enduring virtuoso, to ward
off the boisterous ovations in store for him. 3 The in-
habitants of dangerously-situated Alpine villages erect
stone walls as a security against avalanches ; the mass
of snow is broken by them and falls powerless on either
side.

There was a universal disappointment ; the chorus of
youths was hushed with difficulty, the 4 gilt-illumined
ode was laid aside, the secretary was surrounded, and
by way of 6 reward for his good news that his master
was following, 6 he was made much of. 7 The commotion
was so great that no one noticed the entrance of a slen-
der young man, with lank arms and long yellow hair,
who had been peeled out of a magnificent sable great-
coat in the reception-room by a servant. But he did not
escape the eagle eye of our patroness.

44 Mein Gott, Liszt ! " she exclaimed in 8 [a] broken
voice, and then she sank into the arms of two robust alto
singers, who, always on the alert for 9 such unaccount-
able tri cks of destiny, were ever at 10 her side. There was
a sympatheticlnbvement among the guests, only the one
most nearly concerned, the Geheimrat, retaining a pos-

ture of stoic composure. The master of tone also did
not seem quite inexperienced in the treatment of such
misadventures. He rapidly approached the invalid, 1
seized the right hand of the lady overcome by the inten-
sity of her feelings, 2 ordered " things strengthening 3 and
refreshing," 8 like Mozart's Don Ottavio, and raised her
spirits 4 with marvellous speed. ^S*

So Liszt had come, but all the effects 5 arranged for
* his reception had failed. But his tortured soul was not
spared the ode. He was compelled to sit down between
two ladies and listen to 6 the song. Then the artistic
hostess presented the silk ribbon. It was entwined
about a fresh laurel wreath.

During this offering of gratitude 7 1 had been making -
some remarks of condolence 8 to the secretary. Since
nightfall his liege lord had been visiting five families of
distinction. 9 The Erlkönig had been wrung from him
at four places. Was 10 the genius [to] escape the Erl-
könig here ? [From] out of the music-room the concert-
grand loomed forth majestically like the heavy cannons
in forts that are used to practise recruits.

in a courtly manner, and endured the aged with a philo-
sophic resignation 1 rare in one 2 of his years. He es-
caped 8 [from] tea, [it] probably having x been urged
upon him five times already. The whole company was
intoxicated by the charm of his manner. More than
twenty album-leaves had been clandestinely introduced 4
by the ladies, and he wrote his name on 6 each without
[a] groan. I feared in secret that one of the fair De-
lilas might stealthily draw a pair of scissors out of her
pocket and clutch the lion's mane. But the god of the
muses watched over his precious head ; he kept his locks
and his titanic strength, and he permitted himself to be

previous concerts, and the receipts consequent x upon the
high price of admission, 8 the magnanimous fellow 9 played,

fate still had another reception in store w with which the
genius was to finish the day's task. It became necessary
to dismiss him.

row shone in 2 the eyes of the Frau Geheim rat, perhaps
at 8 her inability to be able to induce the vocal 4 youths
of Berlin to prostrate themselves before him by way 6
[of a] musical carpet to the master's carriage.

The reputation of her salon had been established for
one generation.

The Visit to 8 the Career. 7
By Ebnst Eckstein.

The clock struck two. The Director of the Gymna-
sium, 8 Dr. Samuel Heinzerling, entered the school-court
with all his own peculiar dignity, and slowly ascended
the stairs.

Upon the steps he met Mr. Quaddler, the pedell 9 of
the school, who had just rung the bell.

44 Hath anything happened, 144 Quadlaw ? " asked the
principal, acknowledging the humble salutation of his
vassal with a lordly bend of his head.

" No, sir, 10 nothing."

44 1 beg your pardon, 141 sir, but Rumpf is here. I saw
him l crossing the court."

44 Ah. Tho much the bettaw." 146

Dr. Samuel Heinzerling stalked through the long cor-
ridor to the door of his class room. On this day he ar-
rived unusually early. While he was still in a the cor-
ridor, he heard a tremendous noise. Forty boyish voices
shouted 44 Bravo " and < 4 Encore."

Samuel wrinkled his brow.

Now the roar of the chorus ceased, and a clear, pene-
trating voice began with comical pathos :

"Well, 8 faw thith time we will let it path. 146 It
ith vewy evident you have come to clath unprepared. I
am vewy much dithatified with you. Thit down!"
Thundering applause.

The director stood as if turned to stone. 4

By all the gods of Greece, it was his voice, his man-
ner, his very living self ! 147 A little caricatured, per-
haps — but still, so strikingly like, that only a connois-
seur could have detected the difference. Such sacrilege
had never before been known 6 in the school. A pupil
dared, from the sacred heights of his own professorial
chair, to ridicule him ! IZiw, the author of " The Latin
Grammar for use in schools, 6 with special reference to 7
the higher classes." JKw, the renowned pedagogue and
disciple of Kant! Proh pudor! 8 This was a prank such
as none but 9 the soul of the arch-rogue Wilhelm Rumpf
could invent.

44 Will you go on x tranthlating, Möwicke," the voice
of the mischievous pupil continued. "What, you are
indithpothed ? 2 Deaw me, when young men of your
age thay that they are indithpothed it maketh an unfa-
vourable impwethion. Knebel, put down 8 in the clath-
book: 4 Möwicke, being called upon to tranthlate, wath
indithpothed.'"

No longer could the Principal master his indignation.

With a sudden jerk he opened the door and appeared
among his startled pupils, like a lion among a herd of
gazelles.

It was indeed Wilhelm Rumpf, the greatest good-for-
nothing in the class, who had committed the unpardon-
able offence against the majesty of his person. His col-
lar drawn high in front, 4 a huge pair of paper spectar
cles 6 on his nose, a book in his left hand, the traditional
leadpencil in his right, there 6 he stood upon the plat-
form, just about 148 to continue the comedy when the in-
dignant Principal appeared upon 7 the threshold.

"Wumpf," said Samuel with composure, "Wumpf!
you will go to 8 the cawcer faw 9 two dayth. Knebel,
put down in the clath-book: 'Wumpf thententhed to
two dayth [in the] cawcer faw 10 childith and unworthy
conduct.' Heppenheimer, call the pedell ! "

" But, sir," u stammered Rumpf, putting the paper
spectacles in his pocket, and returning to his seat.

44 Not another word ! " U9

Samuel shook his head sadly.

44 Doeth any one know why Gildemeister ith abthent ? "

44 He has a cold ! " replied one of the six.

44 Cold! When I wath in hith age I nevah had a
cold. But where are Knipcke and Heppenheimer?
Schwarz, go and thee, 2 but come wight back."

Schwarz went and after ten minutes came back with
the pedell and his two companions.

44 Mr. Quaddler was 8 busy papering his wall," said
Heppenheimer in a respectful tone, 44 he had to change
his coat first." 164

44 Indeed! And you need half an hour to do that?
Quaddlaw, it theemth to me that you are beginning to
neglect your dutieth."

"I humbly beg your pardon, sir; but the young
gentlemen came to * my door just two minutes ago." 155

44 Oh ! " cried the three messengers with one voice. 166

44 Well, I will not investigate thith matter further.
Here, take Wumpf and put 2 him in the cawcer.
Wumpf, you will behave yourthelf and not be calling
the pedell evewy moment ath you did latht week.
Quaddlaw* don't let anything induthe you to let him

44 Very well, sir."

44 Now away with you, Wümpf I "

William Rumpf bit his lip, turned about 157 and dis-
appeared with Quaddler in the gloom of the corridor.

44 What did you do, 8 Mr. Rumpf?" asked the pedell,
as they ascended the stairs.

44 Nothing."

44 Oh, but I beg your pardon, you must have been do-
ing something."

44 1 have only done what the Principal does con-
stantly."

44 What do you mean ? "

44 Well, you just listen to me« Do you thee, my dear
Quaddlaw, Wumpf ith a pawfect scapegwace and de-
therveth exemplawy chathtithement."

44 Good gracious ! " stammered the pedell, clasping his
hands above his head. 44 Who could believe such things
possible ! 158 Heaven knows if I didn't see you right 4
here before me with my own eyes, I should swear that
it was the Principal's own voice I heard ! You'll make
your fortune with such a gift as that some day ! " 5

136 THE VISIT TO THE CARCER.

" Yeth, yeth, deaw Quaddlaw," replied Rumpf, still
imitating the Principal.

"And you have actually done this in his presence?
Well, I must say — no offence, lß9 Mr. Rumpf — but
all in good time 160 That was not at all fitting 161 and
the Principal had very good reason to be extremely
angry."

" Now weally ? Do you think tho ? "

44 I must beg you to leave off this joking now. It is
not compatible with the dignity of my office. Will you
please walk into this room ! "

" With pleathure ! "

"Mr. Rumpf, I shall tell the Principal that your
punishment is not severe enough."

" What bithineth ith that of yourth, 163 you abthurd
old Quaddlaw? I can do what I pleathe." 163
* " That you cannot do."

44 Of courthe I can. 1 I can talk ath it thuits me, and
any one who doeth not like it, can take himthelf off 2 or
thtop up hith ears." 164

44 Just 3 you wait."

"What for?" 4

44 1 shall report it to the Principal."

44 Give him my compliments." 166

Quaddler turned the key and shambled slowly down
the stairs. When he returned to his room he went on
with his work of papering. He dipped his brush into
the paste-pot and besmeared strip after strip of wall
paper with the fragrant liquid.

Wilhelm Rumpf, however, sat yawning on the bench,
and assured himself in a soliloquy that he was heartily
tired of the Gymnasium and of the uncalled-for re-
strictions of school life.

In the first-class room, meanwhile, Sophocles was
diligently translated. Heppenheimer accomplished his
task to the Principal's moderate "appwoval." After
him, Schwarz translated " unthatithfactowily." Then
the bell rang. — The author of the Latin grammar for
use in schools vanished into the directorial chamber,
where he sank down thoughtfully in his official chair.

44 A mithewable boy, this Wumpf," he murmured to
himself. 1 " But I almotht believe I could win him more
weadily by 2 kindneth than [I can] by forthe and seve-
rity. I will make one more attempt to appeal to hith
conthienthe. 166 It ith a pity about 8 him. He ith one
of my motht gifted püpilth."

He passed his hand once or twice over his smoothly
shaven chin, 167 then he took his hat from the table and
ascended the stairs to the career.

Wilhelm Rumpf was greatly surprised when after so
short [an] imprisonment the door turned on its hinges.
His amazement reached its climax when he recognized
in the visitor the Principal, Samuel Heinzerling.

44 Well, Wumpf ? " said the honorable pedagogue with
dignity.

44 What do you wish, sir ? " asked the pupil in a tone
of resolute obstinacy.

44 1 have come to inquire if you are not beginning to

within thethe wallth . . ."

" I am not at all aware . . . " 168

"What, Wumpf ? I did not expect to find you tho
thtubborn. I wish you would put 1 yourthelf in 2 my
plathe. 8 I am thure you would be much more thevere
with thith presumptuous Wilhelm Wumpf than I have
been."

" But, sir . . ."

"Surely thuch childith conduct ith not what one
would expect of a young man of good family. You'd
betht be on your guard, 169 for the next time I catch you
at 4 thuch a stupid trick I thall expel you."

"Expel me?"

" Yeth, Wumpf, expel you. Therefore wepent and
give up your dithgratheful nonthenthe. I wepeat it,
put yourthelf in my plathe ! "

Wilhelm Rumpf bent his head. He felt that his ex-
pulsion was only a question of time. Suddenly a dia-
bolical thought darted through his brain.

" If I must get expelled," he said to himself, " it shall
be with flying colors." 5

He smiled like the villainous hero of a sensational
novel after a dark deed, and said in a tone of simulated
contrition :

"You say, sir, I should put myself in your place?"

" Yeth, Wumpf, that ith what I thay."

" Well, then, if you will have it so — I wish you
much pleasure ! "

And with a single bound he was outside the door,
turned the key and left x the poor Principal to his unex-
pected fate.

" Wumpf , what do you mean ? 170 I'll exthpel you
thith vewy day ! 2 Open the door at onthe ! At onthe,
Ithay!"

44 1 give you two hours' cawcer" replied Rumpf with
dignity. 44 You told me to put mythelf in your plathe."

44 Wumpf, you will thee what will happen ! Open
the door ; I inthitht upon it ! "

44 You have no wight to talk to me in that tone.
Jutht at pwethent I am the Printhipal. You are merely
the pupil Wilhelm Wumpf. Be thtill! I will not
bwook oppothition ! "

44 Dear Wumpf! I will fawgive you thith onthe.
Pleathe open the door; Your penalty thall be a vewy
thlight one. You thall not be exthpelled, I promithe
you. Do you hear what I thay ? "

But the 44 dear Wumpf" did not hear. He had
crept 8 stealthily along the hall and was now hastening
downstairs to escape.

As he passed the pedelVs door, a brilliant idea took
possession of him. 171

He put 4 his eye to 6 the keyhole. Quaddler was
standing upon a ladder, his back turned to 6 the door,
and was just attempting to stick a heavily-pasted strip
of paper upon the wall. Wilhelm Rumpf opened the
door a little way 7 and called out with the purest Hein-
zerling accent of which he was capable 172 —

140 THE VISIT TO THE CARCER.

44 1 am going now, Quaddlaw. Look after that fellow
Wumpf . The lad behaveth like a lunatic. He ith thtill
keeping up hith impertinent nonthenthe. You keep
wight 1 on with your work and stay on your laddaw. All
I want to thay ith that you are not under any conthidera-
tion to open the door faw him. The fellow ith quite
capable of 172 knocking you down and wunning away.
Do you hear what I thay, Quaddlaw ? "

44 As you command, sir. You will kindly excuse me
for not getting down . . ." 2

44 Thtay wight x where you are, I thay, and finish your
papawing. Good morning."

44 Your servant, 8 sir."

Wilhelm Rumpf went upstairs 178 again, and once
more entered the precincts of the career. Samuel Hein-
zerling was raging terribly. Now he seemed to have
discovered the bell, for just as Rumpf concealed himself
behind an enormous linen chest belonging to the Quad-
dler family, it resounded shrilly through the hall like the
yell of infuriated demons.

44 Help ! " 4 shouted the schoolmaster. 44 Help ! Quad-
dlaw; you will lothe your plathe thith very day, if
you don't come up thith minute. Help ! Fire ! Mur-
der! Wobbers! Help!"

The pedell, reminded 6 of his duty by the uninter-
rupted ringing of the bell, left his private occupation
and appeared before the door of the prison.

The malicious Wilhelm Rumpf crept deeper into his
hiding-place. Samuel Heinzerling, utterly exhausted

from calling and crying, threw himself down upon his
seat. His chest heaved ; his nostrils worked like a pair
of good bellows.

" Mr. Rumpf," said Quaddler, knocking warningly on
the door, " it will all be noted down ! "

"Heaven be praithed that you are here, Quaddlaw!
Open the door, I thay ! Thith mithewable thcoundwel
hath locked me in. Thuch conduct ith unheard of ! "

" Let me tell you, Mr. Rumpf, you had better stop
your joking. You may be quite sure 174 I will tell the
Principal how you called him a miserable scoundrel ! "

" Have you lotht your wits, 176 Quaddlaw ? " shouted
Samuel in a tone of supreme indignation. " The devil ! *
I tell you that Wumpf , the mitherable fellow, hath locked
me in here when I came to thee him and make an appeal
to hith conthcienthe. I thay, don't keep 2 me waiting !
Open the door at onthe ! "

" You must take me for a simpleton, 176 Mr. Rumpf.
The Principal has only 8 this moment spoken to me, and
strictly forbidden me, on no condition whatever, to let
you out. And now I advise you to behave yourself and
stop ringing that bell, else I'll take it down."

44 Quaddlaw, I'll have you thent to gaol for 4 depwiv-
ing me of my fweedom."

44 Now just you listen to me, will you ? It's posi-
tively childish this everlasting imitating of the Principal.
It is true, the Principal lisps a bit, and pronounces his
r*8 in a funny way, but never so long as I have known
him, has he been guilty 6 of such a silly twaddle as you

are indulging 1 in. And now, for the last time, I tell
you, be quiet, and conduct yourself in a proper manner."

"But I wepeat to you, upon [my] honor, that con-
founded scoundwel turned the key behind me, before I
knew what he wath about. 2 Quaddlaw! Idiot, ass!
You must know me ! "

"What? You call me an ass? You call me an idiot?
It is a question 177 who is the greater ass or the greater
idiot, you 'or I! The impudence ! A green boy like
you calling an honest old man an ass ! You are an ass
yourself! Do you understand? But you'll get your
deserts ! " 178

" You are an ass and a fool ! " moaned Heinzerling in
despair. " So you wef use to open the door ? "

" I shall not think of such a thing." 179

" Good, vewy good ! " groaned the schoolmaster in 3
[a] dying voice. " Vewy good ! I'll stay here in the
cawcer^ then ! Do you hear, Quaddlaw ? Here in the
eawcer ! "

" I shall be glad to hear if you come to your senses. 180
And now leave me in peace. I have no more time to
listen to your farce."

44 Quaddlaw," cried Samuel, getting enraged once more,
44 hour by hour 4 I'll thit here, do you understand?
Hour by .hour. Like a naughty thchoolboy I'll bear the
dithgwace [of it]! Do you hear me, Quaddlaw?"

44 I'm going now. You'd better do your trans-
lation. " 181

44 Holy heaventh, I'm lothing my weason! Am I

weally cwathy ? Man, won't you look through the key-
hole ? Then at leatht you might thee . . ."

"You don't catch me. 182 I haven't forgotten how
you blew in my eyes the other day ! "

«Well then, go to the devil. The godth them-
thelveth would fight x in vain with a blockhead. Just 2
wait till I come out [of thith]. You won't have thith
plathe of pedell much longer, I'll promithe you that ! "

Quaddler went downstairs in a very ill humor. This
lad Rumpf was surely the most impertinent fellow he
had ever come across. An ass did he call him? Thun-
der and lightning ! 8 Ever since the decease of Mrs.
Quaddler the like had not happened 188 to him . . .

These miserable schoolboys !

Meanwhile Samuel Heinzerling paced up and down
his cell with long steps. His whole appearance reminded
one of an African lion condemned to imprisonment by
human cruelty without losing thereby any of the origi-
nal pride and strength of his noble nature. His hands
crossed on his back, his head with its grey mane in-
clined woefully toward his right shoulder, his lips tightly
shut — so he walked back and forth, 4 back and forth,
the darkest and most misanthropic thoughts in his bosom.

Suddenly a broad smile 6 flitted 6 across his features.

" Most abthurd thith ith ! " he muttered to himself.
"Weally, though thith ith a vewy disagweeable affair
for me, there ith no denying 7 the humor of the thitu-
ation . . ."

He stood still.

" Ith there weally any dithgwace in being outwitted

Your dignity ath thchoolmathter, ath thitizen, ath phi-
lothopher, does not thuffer by thith mortifying thitua-
tion. Retht assured, Thamuel . . ."

He continued his walk in a self-satisfied mood. But
soon he interrupted himself anew.

"But thothe boyth," he stammered turning pale.
" When thothe boyth hear that I wath impwithoned 2 in
the cawcer ! Fearful thought ! My authority ath [a]
teacher will be gone forever. And they will hear it.
I am once for all 184 disgraced. Ye godth, ye godth,
why do ye thmite me thus ? "

" Herr Direktor," whispered a familiar voice at 8 the
door of the cell, "you are not yet dishonored. Your
authority is as unassailable as ever . . ."

" Wumpf ! " stammered Samuel, " you godleth fellow !
Open that door, I thay, thith minute ! Conthider your
ears boxed ! 185 Conthider yourthelf expelled ! "

" But, sir, I have come to save you ! Do not insult
me!"

"Will you listen to me quietly, sir? I assure you

Samuel considered.

44 Well," he said at last ; I'll condethend to hear you.
Thpeak . . ."

44 1 only wanted to show you that my art is not quite
without practical import. Forgive me if I have seem-
ingly forgotten the very high esteem and respect I owe
you."

44 You are a wogue, Wumpf ! "

44 Suppose you excuse me from the career penalty,
withdraw your threat regarding x expulsion, and permit
me to keep the strictest silence about what has passed." 2

44 It will not do, 188 Wumpf. You mutht finish your
time . . ." 187

44 Yes ? Well then, good-bye to you, sir. Don't ring
the bell too often ! "

44 Wumpf! hear what I thay to you. Wumpf!"

«Well. ..!"

44 You are in many wespects an extwaawdinawy lad,
Wumpf ; and tho I am quite willing to make extheption
in your favor. 188 Open the door ! "

44 Will you excuse me from the career penalty ? "

44 Yeth!"

44 Will you expel me ? "

44 No, in the dewil'th name."

44 Give me your word of honor, sir."

44 Wumpf, how dare you ? " 189

"Presently, sir! You are sure you bear me no

44 No, no, no ! Will you open that door ? "

44 You give 2 me full absolution ? "

44 Yeth, on 8 (the) condition that you tell nobody of

44 1 thank you for your good opinion. My word of
honor then that so long as you are in your present
position at 4 the gymnasium, no word shall pass my
lips ! "

With that 6 he turned the key and opened the door.

Like Uhland's king out of the tower so Samuel Hein-
zerling stepped out into the free air of heaven. He took 6
a deep breath; then passing his right hand over his
forehead as if trying to remember something, he said :

44 Wumpf, I can take a joke 192 ath well ath any man ;
but I wish you would do me the favor not to mimic me
in future. You weally do 7 it too well."

44 Your wish is my law." 8

" Vewy good ! I'll go with you."

They quickly walked downstairs.

" Quaddlaw ! " called the Principal into the basement.

The pedell appeared at once and officiously asked
what was his behest.

" I have wemitted Wumpf s penalty faw * thevewal
weasons," said Samuel.

" Ah ! that is what 2 you came back [for]. Hm ! . . .
All I wish to say is that Mr. Rumpf was not at all quiet
in his cell. It's none of my business, 162 I suppose, but
he shouted and swore like a Turk ..."

"Well, never mind, m Quaddlaw; I have thpecial
motiveth faw dealing leniently with him thith time.
You may wemove the key to the caiocer"

Quaddler shook his head in astonishment.

" And now come with me, Wumpf."

They walked along the corridor to the class-room.
The Principal knocked.

"Excuse me, dear colleague," he whispered, as he
entered, " I have brought Wumpf back. Knebel, write
in the clath-book, that in conthequenthe of Wumpf s
thinthere wepentanthe I have been moved to wemit hith
punithment."

He spoke and vanished among 8 the labyrinthian pas-
sages of the school building.

LETTERS.

1. Dbab Aunt : —

To-day our teacher notified us in our German recita-
tion that his class would take part in the international
correspondence for students. 1 Through the mediation
of 2 Professor M. Hartmann in Leipzig, German stu-
dents 8 receive the addresses of American students. The
German student writes first to 4 her American corre-
spondent 6 a German letter, the American answers with
an English letter. Then they write to each other at
least once a month: the German in the English
language, the American in the German language. A
careful correction of the foreign 6 letter accompanies the
answer. Such letters are counted as exercises in Ger-
man composition. 7

Now I should like to ask you, 8 dear aunt, to give me
some advice 194 in regard to the composition 9 of a Ger-
man letter. What shall I write and how shall I write
it ? I know that it is not easy to write a real German
letter. You have lived in Germany for years 10 and
therefore will best be able to advise me. I shall be
much obliged to you 195 for your trouble.

LETTERS. 149

With best love 196 to my uncle and l cousins and an
affectionate embrace for yourself, I remain your loving a
niece.

2. My dear Neecb : —

It gives me great pleasure 197 to hear that you are
permitted to take part in the international correspon-
dence for students. I am sure that it will greatly in-
crease your interest in 3 the study of German as well as
your knowledge of the German language. But above
all it will enlarge your comprehension of thd difference
between the real living German and that which has
been painfully 4 put together out of the dictionary.

I am very willing 198 to give you the desired advice.
First as regards the contents of the letters, 199 I ad-
vise you to introduce yourself 200 in the first letter, to
make statements about 5 your age, your family, your
school, and to fix the dates for (the) mailing 6 the
letters.

In the subsequent letters the following subjects
might 7 be discussed : Your native place and its envir-
onments, the school (college) to 8 which you go, the
plan of study of the institution, the branches of study
you have elected, your favorite studies, the examina-
tions, your plans for the future. You might give descrip-
tions of vacation-trips, of large cities and mountains of
the country, its factories, its industries, etc. Always put 9
some questions to your correspondent about her experi-
ences, about good books, magazines, products of art, etc.

150 LETTERS.

Send her a " calendar " l of your school, now and then a
picture postal card, 2 an article from a newspaper, which
has interested you very much, a photograph, etc.

In regard to the form of the letters, I wish to draw
your attention 8 to 4 the following [points]. Write
very distinctly. Your correspondent can read Latin
script as well as German, but the way 6 in which the
American forms the letters, seems strange 6 for the
German. Address your correspondent in the first
letters with „©eefyrteS or Siebes gräutem 9itd)ter!" and
place an exclamation point after the address. Use the
second person plural (@ie, 3Sf)rer, 3f)tten, ©te) and do not
forget to write these words with capitals. After you
know each other better use the Christian name 7 and
write " Dear Louise " or what 8 the name may be. Pos-
sibly 9 your German correspondent will suggest that you
call each other " thou." 10 Gladly accept this offer, for
it would be very impolite to refuse it. Moreover it
will be very good for your German grammar, because it
will make you familiar with different forms of the verb.
When you write the address on the envelope, write the
name of the street under the place of destination, viz.

grmtteitt Souife Sitdjter,
per adr. u §errtt SRegierungärat SBrautt

»erlitt
Germany. 3Bttyetm3ftea&e 12 «•

1 Use the same word ; German schools have no "calendars" in
our sense of the word. Many schools publish yearly a „@d)ufyro*

LETTERS. 151

The u behind the figure 12 means second ^ta'ge 1
(third story) or "two flights up." German families gene-
rally live in apartment houses. 2 Put 3 a five-cent stamp
on 4 the letter and do not forget that you can send only
half an ounce for five cents. But do not attempt to
save postage by using 5 the very thin paper which is often
sold for foreign 6 correspondence. For on this paper the
letters all run into each other and it is often impossible
to read the words. Either shorten your letter or double
the postage. Books and papers go for the same postage
from New York to Berlin, as from New York to Boston.

In writing your own address do not use abbreviations,
and write very distinctly. When you have received
and read an English letter from your German corre-
spondent, make a careful correction on a separate 7 sheet
of paper. Indicate, if you can, the reasons, why it is
this way 8 and not that way. 8 You will find out how
little you know of your own mother-tongue. You ought
to take 9 an exact copy of every German letter you
send, so that you will be able to understand the correc-
tions that your correspondent will send you.

The best [thing] you can do as [a] preparation for
this correspondence is to write letters of different con-
tents and form for 10 practice. Enclosed u I send you
samples of German letters, several English letters for
translation 12 into the German and a number [of] subjects
for German letters. As soon as you have finished the
letters, send them to me. I shall gladly correct them.

WORD-ORDER.

1. POSITION OF THE VERB.

There are three types of word-order according to the
position of the verb.

I. The normal order : the finite verb 1 follows the subject.

3$ fdjtette ben »rief.

I write the letter.

3$ Ifttbe ben Srief gefefyrieben.

I have the letter written.

II. The inverted order: the finite verb precedes the
subject.

£eute fdpeibe icfy ben Srief.

To-day write I the letter.

©eftern fjabe t$ ben 93rief gefefyrieben.

Yesterday have I the letter written.

III. The dependent or transposed order : the finite verb
stands at the end of the clause.

3$ toünfcfye, bafc bu ben »rief fdjreibfit.

I wish that you the letter write. .

3$ fyoffe, bafe bu ben Srief gefefyrieben ftp.

I hope that yon the letter written have.

General Principle : The more important elements of
the sentence tend to mass themselves at the end of
the sentence.
The most important word occupies the last place, it

is preceded by the next important word and so on.

1 Finite verb or personal verb or inflected part of a verb.

1. The finite verb follows the subject.

2. The non-finite part of a verb

(past participle, infinitive, separable-

prefix) stands at the end of the clause.

3. The separable prefix stands before

the past participle, the participle before

the infinitive.

4. In a clause containing two or three

infinitives 8 the one governing the others

stands last.

5. Infinitives are preceded by their

modifiers.

1 The subject with all its modifiers : gffirft ©i$tttarf, ber crftc

2 Non-finite verb or non-personal verb or un inflected part of a
verb, i.e. the infinitive or participle of a compound tense or a "sep-
arable prefix."

8 If one of the "infinitives " is a modal auxiliary it stands last.
The past participle has in such cases the form of an infinitive.

WORD-ORDER.

6. The normal order occurs :

(a) in independent declarative sentences.

(b) in interrogative sentences which begin with a
subject pronoun.

7.

The finite verb precedes the subject.

8. :

[n all other respects the arrange-

ment

is the same as in the normal order.

The inverted order occurs :

9. in independent interrogative sentences, except such as
begin with a subject-pronoun : Sieft ber Änabe bie ©efefytcfyte?
does the boy read the story f

1 For the sake of emphasis a word may be placed at the head of
the sentence. Emphasis is reached in German by position, in
English it depends largely on intonation.

182

WORD-ORDER,

10. in imperative sentences 1 : 2cf en ©ie bic ©efcfytdjte !
read the story ! Jiauf en mir ein 93uc$, let us buy a book.

11. in optative or conditional sentences when the conjunc-
tion toetttt f i/, is omitted : SBäre ty bod) in ©uropa geroefen, */
/ had only been in Europe ; but : SBenn icfy bocfy in (Suropa
geroefen mare; see p. 184, note 2.

12. often in exclamatory sentences : äßie blühen bie S3Iu=
men fo fctyön! how beautifully the flowers blossom I

13. when the independent sentence begins with an adverb,
an adverbial conjunction or any other word or words than
the subject.

ftfttftrttd) 2 $abe ia) ©ie nid)t

at (see below 29). The dependent clause having the value
of an adverb, an adjective or a noun causes inversion.

The dependent clause may be placed :
26. after its principal clause :

3)u toerbienft toiel ©elb, weil

cause you are very diligent.

27. between the parts of its principal clause :

bienft bu totel ©elb.

Because you are very diligent,

/ 2. POSITION OF THE INFINITIVE.

30. The infinitive with or without §n stands at the end of
the clause. See §§ 2, 3, 4, 5.

* Observe that the two verbs — the verb of the dependent
clause and the verb of the principal sentence — will come together
separated by a comma. See 88.

The dependent order is identical with the normal order if
there is only subject and verb in the sentence.

3)ie ©lumen Mityen nnb bie Sonne

2>ie ©lumen blühen to ell bie Gonne

fdjetnt (dependent).

188

WORD-ORDER.

32. The infinitive with $tt is generally an abbreviated but
complete dependent clause and as such it should be treated,
that is : finish the dependent clause preceding it and place a
comma after it, then bring the infinitive clause :

She said that she liked to go
out in stormy weather.

©ie fagte, bafc fte e8 gern Ijabe,
bei ftürntif cfyent Söetter au8 ju=
gefyn — but not: ©ie fagte,

33. The verbs fdjehtcn, seem, pflegen, use, touttfrfjen, wish,
fudjeu, seek, and relative clauses generally enclose the infini-
tive clause.

Sr fagte, bafc er e8 jeben 2lbenb
$it Hjttn toünfcfyte, toeil er

37. A pronoun object precedes a noun object. 1

38. If both objects are persons, the accusative pre-
cedes the dative.

39. If both objects are things, the accusative precedes
the dative.

40. The accusative precedes the genitive.

41. Objects with prepositions follow simple objects.

1 In the inverted and dependent order a personal pronoun object
is often put before a noun subject: bo reichte tljm ber $ef)rer ein

2 The appositive and its modifiers may be resolved into an ad-
verbial clause : $a er feiner ^fttdjten eingeben! war. SBetl er burd)
bte Xeilnafyme getrottet mar. Consequently the principal sentence
takes the inverted order. See § 89.

WORD ORDER,

8. POSITION OF ADVERBS OR ADVERBIAL EXPRESSIONS.

48. If an adverb (or adverbial expression) stands at the
beginning of a sentence the subject must follow the verb
(see§ 13).

$eute gefye id) jur ©ctyule.
'Sott ftrirft bu mi($ fmben.

To-day I go to school.
There you will find me.

49. An adverb of time stands before one of manner or
place.

2Bir lernten $e«te (time) ffet*
fig (manner) in ber ©djule

(place).

We studied diligently (man-
ner) at school (place) to-
day (time).

50. Of several adverbs of time or place the more general
precede the more specific.

2Bir getyen Ijeute «benb tyftt ju

asctt,

SDer $ug fäfyrt uwrgeu frity urn
7 ttljr.

We shall go to bed late to

night.
The train will start to-morrow

early at 7 o'clock.

51. The adverb stands last in a sentence if the verb is in
a simple tense, and close to the infinitive or participle if the
verb is in a compound tense.

2öir lernen unfere Aufgabe
gut. 2Bir fyaben unfere 2luf*
gäbe gut gelernt.

52. In the normal construction the adverb must not stand
(1) between the subject and the finite verb, (2) immediately
before the subject.

@r fd&reibt mir oft.
Oft fd&reibt er mir.

He writes me often.
Often he writes me.

(Never: er oft fd&reibt mir, or, oft er f treibt mir).

(1) In the dependent order the adverb has to stand between the
subject and the finite verb since the latter must stand at the end
of the whole clause : (5r btrftdjerte mir, bag e r mid) aufrichtig I) o d) *
f d) & fee , he assured me that he greatly esteemed me.

(2) In the inverted order the adverb may stand between the
verb and the noun subject: 3m Saljre 1618 f am am flbenb fpftt etn
Offtgicr gu SBattenftein, in 1618 in the evening late there came an
officer to WaUenstem. But— 3m 3a$re 1618 lam er am ftbtnb foot

3$ aber fyabt e$ mctyt ge*

tfyan.
@r alfo fyat ben Srief ge*

72. The prefixes of separable verbs are detached from the
verb and placed at the end of the sentence in the present, in
the imperfect (preterite) and in the imperative ; but in de-
pendent clauses no separation takes place.
