  3 2 |          read every thought in Van Baerle's mind, and every sentiment
  4 2 |            repeat to you, that Van Baerle is not aware of the nature
  5 2 |           why that?" ~"Because Van Baerle will neither give up the
  6 5 |             rara avis, was Dr. van Baerle, the godson of Cornelius

  8 5 |        guilders, which Mynheer van Baerle the son, at the death of
  9 5 |          they were guilders of Van Baerle the father and of Van Baerle

 11 5 |           purse, for Cornelius van Baerle, the hero of this story,
 12 5 |             the worthy Mynheer van Baerle died, to the intense grief
 13 5 |       began to talk of Mynheer van Baerle's tulips; and his beds,
 14 5 | illustrious Roman travellers. ~Van Baerle began by expending his yearly
 15 5 |         after his mother; the "Van Baerle," after his father; and
 16 5 |            political passions, Van Baerle had gained the affections
 17 5 |           cultivating tulips. ~Van Baerle was truly beloved by his
 18 5 |        mankind, that Cornelius van Baerle, without being aware of
 19 5 |            time when Cornelius van Baerle began to devote himself
 20 5 |            of being rich, like Van Baerle. He had therefore, with
 21 5 |         All at once, Cornelius van Baerle, who, after all his learned
 22 5 |          no great consequence. Van Baerle was but a painter, a sort
 23 5 |          in the right. Mynheer van Baerle was a painter, as Mynheer
 24 5 |       tulips. ~The law was for Van Baerle, and Boxtel had to abide
 25 5 |          grateful to Cornelius van Baerle for having given him a screen
 26 5 |      extent of his misfortune. Van Baerle was known to be fond of
 27 5 |          that of his neighbour Van Baerle, he convinced himself that
 28 5 |            not be a doubt that Van Baerle had become a tulip-grower. ~
 29 5 |            for real ones, that Van Baerle took from him half a degree
 30 5 |            of warmth. And thus Van Baerle was to have the most admirably
 31 5 |         conqueror. ~And now if Van Baerle produced a new tulip, and
 32 6 |      source of misery to him. ~Van Baerle, as may easily be imagined,
 33 6 |          Boxtel, though he was Van Baerle's deadly foe, would have
 34 6 |      banner with him. ~Mynheer van Baerle and his tulips, therefore,
 35 6 |       represented by Cornelius van Baerle, the modest and inoffensive
 36 6 |       planting, and gathering, Van Baerle, caressed by the whole fraternity
 37 6 |           during the period of Van Baerle's successes. Whilst Cornelius
 38 6 |            content with seeing Van Baerle. He wanted to see his flowers,
 39 6 |      jealous man to observe in Van Baerle's beds tulips which dazzled
 40 6 |    mattered so very much. ~Yet Van Baerle made such progress in the
 41 6 |        white house opened, and Van Baerle made his appearance, approaching
 42 6 |        bulbs: how gladly would Van Baerle have redeemed that precious
 43 6 |          was enough to console Van Baerle, and enough to fan the rage
 44 6 |            committed in vain. ~Van Baerle could not imagine the cause
 45 6 |          of French tradition. ~Van Baerle was one of the tulip-growers
 46 6 |        light of a speculation. Van Baerle, as soon as the idea had
 47 6 |         else but the doings at Van Baerle's. He breathed through the
 48 6 |          through the stalks of Van Baerle's tulips, quenched his thirst
 49 6 |            in the morning when Van Baerle went up to his laboratory,
 50 6 |     Sometimes, whilst covering Van Baerle with his telescope, he deluded
 51 7 |          his godson, Cornelius van Baerle, one evening in the month
 52 7 |       father to a son, visited Van Baerle's treasures, the crowd gathered
 53 7 |           warmth of the stove. Van Baerle, therefore, passed the whole
 54 7 |         said in a low voice to Van Baerle, -- ~"My dear son, send
 55 7 |        near the table on which Van Baerle had placed the taper. ~In

 65 7 |                And who is this Van Baerle?' -- 'It is the same who
 66 7 |            my tulip has flowered," Baerle continued in his soliloquy, "

 85 8 |             How so?" ~"Mynheer van Baerle is arrested, and has been

106 12|      notwithstanding all this, Van Baerle mounted the scaffold not
107 12|            raising his sword. ~Van Baerle bade farewell to the great
108 12|            him. ~Then suddenly Van Baerle felt gentle hands raising
109 12|            the streets below. ~Van Baerle began to be sensible to

117 13|          bulbs which Cornelius van Baerle must be supposed to conceal,

129 14|          willed that Cornelius van Baerle should happen to hit upon

135 15|    consolation to the heart of Van Baerle. ~Gryphus stepped towards
136 15|            the nest. This gave Van Baerle time to run to the door,
137 16|         times a day he entered Van Baerle's cell, expecting to find
138 16|             however, to engage Van Baerle in a conversation from the
139 16|          astonishment of Rosa, Van Baerle pushed back her white hand

154 19|      gloomy as, involuntarily, Van Baerle mixed up with it the thought
155 20|             at the usual hour, Van Baerle heard some one scratch at
