10 11|     against which a cautious man may guard, I should never have
11 11|       bowing to the ground. "You may ask for any clergyman you
12 11|    emotion, "what do you wish? I may tell you that my time on
13 11|       for which, as you know, or may not know, a prize of a hundred
14 11|      wrapped up in it, which you may take, Rosa, as I make you
15 11|              Yes, yes, Rosa, you may take them; you are not wronging
16 11|     bulbs. They will flower next May, that is to say, in seven
17 11|         pencil and paper, that I may write it down for you." ~
18 11|        must produce, in the next May, the Grand Black Tulip for
19 11|     Society, requesting that she may be paid the same sum in
20 11|          and mine combined. ~"So may God grant me mercy, and
21 13|           After this, the reader may imagine how excited Boxtel
22 14|      from Dort, and consequently may return there. By fastening
23 15|  twenty-four hours are over: you may be sure of that." ~Whilst
24 16|    Master Gryphus, as the reader may have seen, was far from
25 16|          in case of a failure we may not have anything to reproach
26 16|          from the garden, that I may judge?" ~"I will do so to-morrow." ~"
27 16|          from a shady, so that I may judge of its properties
28 16|          the circumstances which may interest our nursling; such
29 16|  comprehend, my dear Rosa, a man may steal a guilder, and risk
30 16|         the other. ~However that may have been, from that moment
31 16|          subjects a conversation may comprise. ~Only Rosa had
32 16|           and perhaps sooner, we may distinguish the first buds
33 17|        suitors in vain; this man may become your husband." ~"
34 17|        on, Rosa, pray do, that I may guess who that man is, and
35 17|         ashamed of himself. "You may have as many tulips as you
36 18|          crush a tulip bulb? You may buy a hundred of them in
37 18|     manage matters so that Jacob may know, as he did the first
38 18|         going there, and that he may follow you. Feign to put
39 18|        and, along with them, you may grow the third sucker." ~"

41 20|        replace the earth?" ~"You may make yourself comfortable
42 20|          in this world, Rosa." ~"May I believe you?" ~"As you
43 21|      know." ~"Yes, and with it I may marry a young man of twenty-six
44 21|    involucrum open? but then one may see and already distinguish ---- " ~
45 21|        Yes," answered Rosa, "one may already distinguish a thread
46 21|          an angel in heaven that may be compared to you, Rosa!" ~"
47 22|        In fine, do you think you may rely on this young man?" ~"
48 22|             Well, Rosa, this lad may be at Haarlem in ten hours;
49 23|        and care of Rosa. ~For it may well be imagined that the
50 24|      misfortune is great, but it may perhaps be remedied. Rosa,

54 25|         and pretty, and as there may be still some good in you,
55 26|      made a grievous blunder; it may be I have ruined Cornelius,
56 26|        am but a woman; these men may league themselves against
57 26|        hundred thousand guilders may have tempted her." ~"And

60 27|          Highness what trust you may place in his probity. He

62 27|          both. A man of his name may be a conspirator, and even
63 27|    Monseigneur, this young woman may have stolen the bulb, as
64 27|      This request, as the reader may remember, was couched in

71 32|          his conductor. ~"As you may see, sir," replied the officer, "
72 32|         Stop, that the gentleman may see," said the officer,
73 32|         must see the flower! You may kill me afterwards if you
