 5  4,2| Monseigneur," said the officer, "may not one save this poor man,
 6  4,2|       after my troops, that they may be armed for any emergency." ~"
 7  4,3|        push on, Captain, that we may arrive at Alphen before
 8  5,3|            Boxtel, as the reader may see, was not possessed of
 9  6,1|          to him. ~Van Baerle, as may easily be imagined, had
10 11,2|     against which a cautious man may guard, I should never have
11 11,2|       bowing to the ground. "You may ask for any clergyman you
12 11,2|    emotion, "what do you wish? I may tell you that my time on
13 11,2|       for which, as you know, or may not know, a prize of a hundred
14 11,2|      wrapped up in it, which you may take, Rosa, as I make you
15 11,2|              Yes, yes, Rosa, you may take them; you are not wronging
16 11,3|     bulbs. They will flower next May, that is to say, in seven
17 11,3|         pencil and paper, that I may write it down for you." ~
18 11,3|        must produce, in the next May, the Grand Black Tulip for
19 11,3|     Society, requesting that she may be paid the same sum in
20 11,3|          and mine combined. ~"So may God grant me mercy, and
21 13,2|           After this, the reader may imagine how excited Boxtel
22 14,1|      from Dort, and consequently may return there. By fastening
23 15,1|  twenty-four hours are over: you may be sure of that." ~ ~
24 16,1|    Master Gryphus, as the reader may have seen, was far from
25 16,1|          in case of a failure we may not have anything to reproach
26 16,1|          from the garden, that I may judge?" ~"I will do so to-morrow." ~"
27 16,1|          from a shady, so that I may judge of its properties
28 16,1|          the circumstances which may interest our nursling; such
29 16,1|  comprehend, my dear Rosa, a man may steal a guilder, and risk
30 16,2|         the other. ~However that may have been, from that moment
31 16,2|          subjects a conversation may comprise. ~Only Rosa had
32 16,2|           and perhaps sooner, we may distinguish the first buds
33 17,1|        suitors in vain; this man may become your husband." ~"
34 17,1|        on, Rosa, pray do, that I may guess who that man is, and
35 17,2|         ashamed of himself. "You may have as many tulips as you
36 18,1|          crush a tulip bulb? You may buy a hundred of them in
37 18,2|     manage matters so that Jacob may know, as he did the first
38 18,2|         going there, and that he may follow you. Feign to put
39 18,2|        and, along with them, you may grow the third sucker." ~"

41 20,1|        replace the earth?" ~"You may make yourself comfortable
42 20,2|          in this world, Rosa." ~"May I believe you?" ~"As you
43 21,2|      know." ~"Yes, and with it I may marry a young man of twenty-six
44 21,2|    involucrum open? but then one may see and already distinguish ---- " ~
45 21,2|        Yes," answered Rosa, "one may already distinguish a thread
46 21,2|          an angel in heaven that may be compared to you, Rosa!" ~"
47 22,1|        In fine, do you think you may rely on this young man?" ~"
48 22,1|             Well, Rosa, this lad may be at Haarlem in ten hours;
49 23,1|        and care of Rosa. ~For it may well be imagined that the
50 24,1|      misfortune is great, but it may perhaps be remedied. Rosa,
51 24,2|        he drove off, without, as may well be imagined, having
52 25,1|         the kitchen. ~The reader may imagine the anger of the
53 25,2|       any one." ~"But the matter may very easily be ascertained." ~"
54 25,2|         and pretty, and as there may be still some good in you,
55 26,1|      made a grievous blunder; it may be I have ruined Cornelius,
56 26,1|        am but a woman; these men may league themselves against
57 26,1|        hundred thousand guilders may have tempted her." ~ ~
58 26,2|            All her attention, as may be easily imagined, was

60 27,1|          Highness what trust you may place in his probity. He
61 27,1|         to some persons whom she may now call as witnesses. But,
62 27,2|          both. A man of his name may be a conspirator, and even
63 27,2|    Monseigneur, this young woman may have stolen the bulb, as
64 27,2|      This request, as the reader may remember, was couched in
65 27,2|         it, so that its contents may for ever remain unknown
66 28,1|          is her father! Whatever may be her affection for me,
67 28,2|     roared Gryphus. ~"I wish you may." ~"Don't you see my hand

70 31,2|          and long-expected day - May 15, 1673 - arrived; and
71 32,1|          his conductor. ~"As you may see, sir," replied the officer, "
72 32,1|         Stop, that the gentleman may see," said the officer,
73 32,2|         must see the flower! You may kill me afterwards if you
74 33,2|        in 1674 and 1675, both in May, the month of flowers. ~
