Page 73, para. 1: --reine FARBENPATZEN.--Sind von einer
Schlamperei diese Franzosen!--Dass sich wirklich NOCH JEMAND
von ihnen prellen laesst!" So schliesst Papa HARFINK, der

Page 244, para. 2: Sie ass ohne Ziererei und ohne Gier, nippte nur
an dem Champagner, laechelte gutwillig ueber DIE frechsten
Scherze, ob SIE SELBE VERSTAND ODER auch nicht verstand, mit
der Resignation eines Geschoepfes, DAS ES GEWOHNT IST, sich
auf diese Weise sein Brot zu verdienen.

She ate without affectation and without greediness--only
sipped the champagne, smiled good-naturedly at THE boldest
jokes, whether she understood THEM OR not, with the
resignation of a being WHO WAS ACCUSTOMED to earn her bread
in this manner.

grown melancholy, ...

ROSENKNOSPE, die ihm seine liebe Braut geschenkt hat--ja, so

beschmutzt--auf die EIN AKROBAT GETRETEN HABEN MOCHTE!

He cherished it like a lover the ROSE-BUD which his dear one
had given him; yes, thus WOULD FELIX cherish the faded yellow
flower which THE DUST [IN THE WINGS] OF the stage had
soiled--upon which AN ACROBAT MIGHT HAVE trodden.
