12  4,1|    recognized by a brewer, who, being behind his companions, was
13  4,1|     looking after the carriage, being however not yet quite sure

16  5,2|         own hands; and at last, being at a loss what to do with
17  5,2|   Cornelius van Baerle, without being aware of the fact, had a
18  5,3|         not the good fortune of being rich, like Van Baerle. He

22  6,1|     might gain his ends without being compromised himself. ~He

26  7,1| inquired what it meant, and, on being informed of the cause of

28  7,1|         bulbs. ~The parcel thus being secreted, Cornelius de Witt
29  7,1|      roasted coffee; and which, being expected to flower for the
30  8,1|         of the brothers De Witt being arrested on a charge of

33 10,2|       you are confined, and, on being told that you are occupying
34 11,1|  godfather; manifest complicity being considered to exist between
35 11,1|        of his godfather without being made acquainted with their
36 11,1|        sign of the magistrate's being interested for the prisoner,
37 11,1|        Cornelius van Baerle, as being arraigned, and convicted,
38 11,2|       had no longer any fear of being searched, he said: "My dear

40 13,2|        one condition, - that of being paid in advance. ~Boxtel,
41 13,2|        was no more like a human being; the rage and malice of
42 14,1|         stivers per head. ~This being just double their value,
43 15,2|        have often regretted not being able to read," said Cornelius. "

45 18,1|     asked the prisoner. ~"Well, being asked by his friend, my
46 19,1|         not deceived him; Rosa, being vexed, shut herself up in
47 19,2|         the prisoner. ~Gryphus, being little used to this sort

50 19,2|         stayed away. Thus Rosa, being at liberty, found in her
51 20,1|    their friendship. ~Cornelius being, as may easily be imagined,
52 20,1|        excuse yourself with not being able to read. Not only do
53 20,1|       There is no danger of its being stolen," said Rosa, "unless

55 21,1|        Rosa object to the tulip being spoken of? ~This was indeed
56 21,2|        you are the most perfect being on earth!" ~"After the tulip,
57 22,1|      decided on. The tulip once being in flower, and it being
58 22,1|         being in flower, and it being quite certain that it is
59 22,1|         you will, for if I did, being a poor prisoner, people
60 22,1|      splendour. The flower once being seen by the President, and
61 22,1|     President, and the protocol being drawn up, all is in order;
62 22,1|       will give you news, which being done the messenger will
63 23,1|        watch the others without being watched himself. ~He saw
64 23,1|      who was afraid of the bulb being killed by frost. ~When the

68 23,2|        open. ~He therefore - as being in possession of the key,

73 26,1|         idea of the black tulip being found again, started for
74 27,1|        a table. ~The Prince, on being informed, left the cabinet,

76 27,2| ignorant of this correspondence being deposited with him; completely
77 27,2|         to get hold of it, and, being balked in his hope, he very
78 28,1|        forward to. ~Alas! Rosa, being watched, was no longer able

80 29,1|       be too tame; the prisoner being charged with neither more

83 30,1|     would you accept the lot of being the wife of a prisoner?" ~"
84 31,1|         justly prides itself on being one of the most shady in
85 31,1|        festival of "The Supreme Being." ~There was, however, a
86 32,2|         tulip; it is well worth being seen once." ~"Thank you,
