  4  2,3|          to read every thought in Van Baerle's mind, and every
  5  2,3|         and I repeat to you, that Van Baerle is not aware of the

 20  5,2|          began to talk of Mynheer van Baerle's tulips; and his
 21  5,2|    illustrious Roman travellers. ~Van Baerle began by expending
 22  5,2|            after his mother; the "Van Baerle," after his father;
 23  5,2|        called political passions, Van Baerle had gained the affections
 24  5,2|           of cultivating tulips. ~Van Baerle was truly beloved
 25  5,2|           mankind, that Cornelius van Baerle, without being aware

 27  5,3|       fortune of being rich, like Van Baerle. He had therefore,
 28  5,3|            All at once, Cornelius van Baerle, who, after all his
 29  5,3|          of no great consequence. Van Baerle was but a painter,
 30  5,3|        been in the right. Mynheer van Baerle was a painter, as
 31  5,3|          tulips. ~The law was for Van Baerle, and Boxtel had to
 32  5,3|      almost grateful to Cornelius van Baerle for having given
 33  5,3|         extent of his misfortune. Van Baerle was known to be fond
 34  5,3|        into that of his neighbour Van Baerle, he convinced himself
 35  5,3|         could not be a doubt that Van Baerle had become a tulip-grower. ~
 36  5,3|           but for real ones, that Van Baerle took from him half
 37  5,3|        degree of warmth. And thus Van Baerle was to have the most
 38  5,3|        his conqueror. ~And now if Van Baerle produced a new tulip,
 39  6,1|         source of misery to him. ~Van Baerle, as may easily be
 40  6,1|       cause Boxtel, though he was Van Baerle's deadly foe, would
 41  6,1|         banner with him. ~Mynheer van Baerle and his tulips, therefore,
 42  6,1|          represented by Cornelius van Baerle, the modest and inoffensive
 43  6,1|          planting, and gathering, Van Baerle, caressed by the
 44  6,1|       Boxtel during the period of Van Baerle's successes. Whilst

 46  6,1|         jealous man to observe in Van Baerle's beds tulips which
 47  6,1|       mattered so very much. ~Yet Van Baerle made such progress
 48  6,2|           white house opened, and Van Baerle made his appearance,
 49  6,2|           bulbs: how gladly would Van Baerle have redeemed that
 50  6,2|        This was enough to console Van Baerle, and enough to fan
 51  6,2|           had committed in vain. ~Van Baerle could not imagine
 52  6,2|       raven of French tradition. ~Van Baerle was one of the tulip-growers
 53  6,2|           light of a speculation. Van Baerle, as soon as the idea
 54  6,2|    nothing else but the doings at Van Baerle's. He breathed through

 59  7,1|          father to a son, visited Van Baerle's treasures, the
 60  7,1|    congenial warmth of the stove. Van Baerle, therefore, passed

 77  7,3|          heaven. ~As to Cornelius van Baerle, it must be stated
 78  7,3|             Are you Dr. Cornelius van Baerle?" demanded the magistrate (
 79  7,3|          I am that person, Master van Spennen," answered Cornelius,

 81  7,3|        Cornelius. ~"Halloa!" said Van Spennen, "you begin now
 82  7,3|         where you now are, Master van Spennen." ~The magistrate

 88  8,1|         his accomplice, Cornelius van Baerle, is no less a bad
 89  8,1|          inform against Cornelius van Baerle." ~Specious as this
 90  8,1|       aware of the progress which Van Baerle had made towards
 91  8,1|       this certainty of Cornelius van Baerle that caused the fever
 92  8,1|        Isaac; he also, instead of Van Baerle, would have the prize
 93  8,1|         assembled, and decided on Van Baerle's arrest, placing
 94  8,1|  execution in the hands of Master van Spennen, who, as we have
 95  8,1|         mishap which had befallen Van Baerle, he was announcing
 96  8,1|          your neighbour Cornelius van Baerle is arrested for high
 97  8,1|        besides, I have seen Judge van Spennen with the archers

 99  8,2|     raised it against the wall of Van Baerle's house, where it
100  8,2|         of seeds and bulbs, which Van Baerle kept in duplicate,
101  8,2|           before, the unfortunate Van Baerle had so leisurely,
102  9,1|          about midnight when poor Van Baerle was locked up in
103  9,1|           stead: it was Cornelius van Baerle whom they were bringing. ~

107 11,1|       death of those two martyrs, Van Baerle had no longer any
108 11,1|   Cornelius de Witt and Cornelius van Baerle. ~The honest doctor
109 11,1|         by the whole household of Van Baerle; and that consequently
110 11,1|           to my house." ~This was Van Baerle's whole defence;
111 11,1|     dilemma: - ~"Either Cornelius van Baerle is a great lover
112 11,1|         of the case. As Cornelius van Baerle was concerned in
113 11,1|      pronounced against Cornelius van Baerle, as being arraigned,
114 11,2|           the aforesaid Cornelius van Baerle should be led from
115 11,2|      answer, the Recorder saluted Van Baerle with all that consideration
116 11,3|        and long life! ~"Cornelius van Baerle." ~The prisoner then,
117 11,3|        these few lines, which, if Van Baerle had read them, would

119 12,1|         notwithstanding all this, Van Baerle mounted the scaffold
120 12,1|   executioner raising his sword. ~Van Baerle bade farewell to
121 12,1|        around him. ~Then suddenly Van Baerle felt gentle hands
122 12,1|          from the streets below. ~Van Baerle began to be sensible
123 12,1|           very likely afraid that Van Baerle's blood would turn
124 12,1|      Holland, condemned Cornelius van Baerle to imprisonment for

126 12,1|          Meuse, opposite Gorcum. ~Van Baerle was sufficiently
127 12,1|   twenty-four stivers. ~"I," said Van Baerle to himself, "I am
128 13,1|          horses, who soon carried Van Baerle away from among the
129 13,1|           all the spectators whom Van Baerle's execution had attracted
130 13,1|         the bulbs which Cornelius van Baerle must be supposed
131 13,2|         surveyed the movements of Van Baerle. How would he place
132 13,2|        Had he been able to get at Van Baerle, he would have pounced

139 14,1|        she came back without it. ~Van Baerle had addressed it
140 14,1|          note enclosed for Rosa. ~Van Baerle's nurse had received
141 14,1|       Boxtel to that of Cornelius van Baerle. ~The nurse was a

143 14,2|         the Waal and the Meuse, - Van Baerle's letter would have
144 14,2|         we have said, had reached Van Baerle's nurse. ~And also
145 15,1|       Halloa! that's you, Mynheer van Baerle," said Gryphus. "
146 15,1|          Master Gryphus," replied Van Baerle, "that if I have
147 15,1|            Master Gryphus," cried Van Baerle, turning away his
148 15,1|       consolation to the heart of Van Baerle. ~Gryphus stepped
149 15,2|       examine the nest. This gave Van Baerle time to run to the
150 16,1|      Three times a day he entered Van Baerle's cell, expecting
151 16,1|         order, however, to engage Van Baerle in a conversation
152 16,1|       great astonishment of Rosa, Van Baerle pushed back her white
153 16,1|          s right. And, moreover," Van Baerle, having become mistrustful
154 16,2|         you." ~And as the lips of Van Baerle approached the grating
155 16,2|           on her father. ~Indeed, Van Baerle's happiness depended
156 17,2|    uneasily. ~"What is it?" asked Van Baerle. "I thought I heard
157 17,2|          secrets of the prisoner. Van Baerle, therefore, had devised
158 17,2|       broken, and which Cornelius van Baerle had set so well,
159 17,2|        good Master Gryphus," said Van Baerle, imploringly, and
160 17,2|         Leave me my tulip," cried Van Baerle. ~"Ah, yes, tulip,"
161 17,2|           quite black; and whilst Van Baerle, quite happy to have
162 17,2|      atoms under his heavy shoe. ~Van Baerle saw the work of destruction,
163 18,1|          value. This poor Mynheer van Baerle amused himself with
164 18,2|              And even," continued Van Baerle, warming more and
165 19,1|        the last will of Cornelius van Baerle was written. ~"Alas!"
166 19,2|        until it came back again. ~Van Baerle passed the night
167 19,2|         gloomy as, involuntarily, Van Baerle mixed up with it
168 20,1|       evening, at the usual hour, Van Baerle heard some one scratch
169 21,1|    Gryphus. ~"And why not?" asked Van Baerle. ~"The conspiracy
170 21,1|           which Rosa had given to Van Baerle, this was the only
171 22,1|          that it was the prisoner Van Baerle who had found it? ~
172 22,1|     return to your tulip, Mynheer van Baerle, and as soon as it
173 22,2|         well known: it is Mynheer van Systens, the burgomaster

175 23,1|         black tulip and Cornelius van Baerle. ~What no one but
176 24,2|          Rosa. ~"Gryphus!" roared Van Baerle. "Oh, you villain!" ~
177 25  |                 25. The President Van Systens~
178 25,1|     fulfilment of which Cornelius van Baerle had rested his ambition
179 25,1|      again went up in his fury to Van Baerle, abused him, threatened
180 25,1|          to be led before Mynheer van Systens, the President of
181 25,2|          office of the President, Van Systens, who gallantly rose
182 25,2|          doing well, then?" asked Van Systens, with a smile of
183 25,2|       Rosa, rushing up to Mynheer van Systens. ~"As I see you,
184 25,2|         for the honorable Mynheer van Systens, Burgomaster of
185 25,2|        from you." ~"Oh! oh!" said Van Systens, looking at Rosa. "
186 25,2|        Only, my child," continued Van Systens, "as you are young
187 25,2|           Swan Inn." ~And Mynheer van Systens, taking up his fine

195 26,1|       your visit?" ~"Dear Mynheer van Systens," said William of
196 26,1|   Monseigneur, Monseigneur!" said Van Systens, "what glory to
197 26,1|           of consequence, Mynheer van Systens." ~"Well, then,
198 26,1|          This is a crime, Mynheer van Systens." ~"So it is, your

200 26,2|      found my King Solomon," said Van Systens, bowing, and showing
201 26,2|   important person who was called Van Systens, so that she had
202 26,2|          from the shelf, and made Van Systens a sign to commence
203 26,2|           examination forthwith. ~Van Systens, likewise at the
204 26,2|         will assist me to some." ~Van Systens exchanged a look
205 26,2|          off to fetch Boxtel, and Van Systens in the meanwhile

207 26,2|           tone of her voice, that Van Systens and the Prince answered
208 26,2|         by a prisoner of state." ~Van Systens trembled as he heard
209 26,2|    seriously." ~"Certainly," said Van Systens, "the prisoner of
210 26,2|      Unfortunate girl!" exclaimed Van Systens. ~The Prince, observing
