 28  3,3|            will do no such thing," said Rosa. ~"Well, and how then?" ~"

 38  4,1|        fortunate if it were true," said the young man; "unfortunately
 39  4,1|           true." ~"However, look!" said the officer. ~And indeed,
 40  4,1|     Cornelius has really escaped," said the officer. ~"Yes, from

 80  7,3|           papers. ~"All right," he said, like a man who is sure

 83  7,3|       informed after all!" ~"How," said Cornelius, "how is this?" ~"
 84  8,1|            entered his bedroom. He said to the man, - ~"I shall

100 10,2|           pieces?" ~"That's true," said Cornelius, gravely. ~"And
101 10,2|          Don't you understand me?" said the young girl, with some
102 10,2|          impatience. ~"Yes, I do," said Cornelius, "but ---- " ~"

104 10,2|            be angry, my good man," said Cornelius, with his good-tempered
105 10,2|            heated." ~Thereupon, he said in an undertone to Rosa - ~"

113 11,2|         make your peace with God," said the Recorder, bowing to
114 11,2|       breast. ~"Oh, sir, sir!" she said, but sobs choked her utterance. ~"

117 11,2|            Forgive my father," she said. ~"Your father, your father!"
118 11,2|         Your father, your father!" said Cornelius, astonished. ~"
119 11,2|         him." ~"I thank you, sir," said Rosa. "And now tell me -

143 15,1|            fine and pleasant one," said Cornelius, looking at Rosa. ~"

154 16,2|          carrier pigeons then be?" said Cornelius to Rosa, "as you,
155 16,2|            employ it even better," said Rosa, smiling. "Teach me
156 16,2|            an eternity before us," said Cornelius. ~Rosa smiled,

158 16,2|             Very well, indeed," he said, "the coat is growing black,
159 16,2|         Rosa, what you have done," said Cornelius, with as tender
160 16,2|           to herself. ~"Well," she said, smiling, for in her own
161 16,2|        guilders." ~"Don't forget," said Rosa, smiling, "that your

166 17,1|             I don't believe that," said Rosa, smiling; "if that

174 17,2|         terrible abuse. ~"Indeed," said Cornelius to him, "you must

183 18,1|          it was not the only one?' said my father. 'Very well, we
184 18,1|           like lightning." ~"But," said Cornelius, "that was not
185 18,1|          was not all; I am sure he said something in his turn." ~"'
186 18,1|          then, my pretty Rosa,' he said, with a voice as sweet a
187 18,1|     blunder. ~"'What do I know?' I said, negligently; 'do I understand

196 18,2|   paralyzed." ~"Now just hear me," said Rosa; "will you try something
197 18,2|          that would do very well," said Cornelius, knitting his
198 18,2|          easy, Mynheer Cornelius," said Rosa, with a sweet mixture
199 18,2|           with tears. ~"Alas!" she said. ~"What is it?" asked Cornelius. ~"
200 18,2|        What do you see?" ~"I see," said she, bursting out in sobs, "
201 19,1|        dreaming. ~From what he had said she was more ready to believe

222 20,2|          receding hand of Rosa, he said, - ~"Do you mean to say
223 20,2|         the mother." ~"To-morrow?" said Rosa, looking at Cornelius
224 20,2|       to-morrow." ~"Good heavens!" said Cornelius, "why can't you

227 20,2|              That's your way," she said; "you are tyrants all of
228 20,2|         you are talking of, Rosa?" said Cornelius, trying in vain
229 20,2|           received. ~"As to that," said Rosa, "I think that in reading
230 20,2|           your instructions, sir," said Rosa, sighing in her turn; "
231 20,2|                No, no," the damsel said, laughing, "I will not ask
232 21,1|       Thank you, friend Cerberus," said the prisoner; "you are just
233 21,1|          you are hungry, are you?" said Gryphus. ~"And why not?"
234 21,2|                      2~"Well," she said, "she is up." ~"She is up!
235 21,2|           my daughter, the tulip," said Rosa. ~"What!" cried Cornelius, "
236 21,2|        permission, then?" ~"I do," said Rosa, with the tone of an
237 21,2|            her child. ~"Ah, Rosa!" said Cornelius, putting his lips
238 21,2|             Straight as a rocket," said Rosa. ~"How high?" ~"At
239 21,2|           I take more care of it?" said she. "Indeed, I think of
240 21,2|         and clasping his hands, he said, - ~"Oh, there is not an
241 21,2|          to you, Rosa!" ~"Indeed!" said Rosa, smiling at his enthusiasm. ~"
242 21,2|            smiled. ~"Oh, yes!" she said. ~"Enough?" said Cornelius. ~"
243 21,2|         yes!" she said. ~"Enough?" said Cornelius. ~"I have three
244 21,2|      suddenly checking himself, he said, with a faltering voice, - ~"
245 21,2|       There, ten o'clock strikes," said Rosa, "I must now leave
246 21,2|           leave you." ~"Yes, yes," said Cornelius, "go, Rosa, go!" ~
247 22,1|             By Jove!" ~"Be quiet," said Rosa, smiling, "he is still
248 22,1|            of the world. But, as I said, if he tarried one or even
249 22,1|          of playing such a trick," said Rosa. ~"And if on your return
250 22,1|            Good night, my friend," said Rosa, a little consoled. ~"
251 22,1|        Very dear, yes, very dear," said Rosa, with a beating heart,
252 22,1|              And now that you have said 'very dear,' dear Rosa,

254 22,2|       through his frame. ~"Ah!" he said, "here is Heaven sending
255 22,2|            well-known voice, which said to him, - ~"Cornelius, my
256 22,2|           shining as jet. ~"Rosa," said Cornelius, almost gasping, "
257 22,2|             my dearest Cornelius," said Rosa. ~"Is it, indeed?" ~"
258 22,2|            And now, Rosa, go, go," said Cornelius, "and let us implore
259 23,2|         crime. ~Boxtel, as we have said, was alone with the tulip. ~
260 23,2|       beginning of the chapter, we said that the poor young people

262 24,1|            said Cornelius. ~"Yes," said Rosa, leaning against the

264 24,2|          rave. ~"Well, then, yes," said Rosa, all in a tremble. "
265 24,2|         you will take my keys?" he said, in a voice choked with
266 25,1|            hearing what his jailer said, allowed himself to be ill-treated,

269 25,2|          Alas! sir, I don't know," said Rosa. ~"How is that? could
270 25,2|          and from you." ~"Oh! oh!" said Van Systens, looking at
271 25,2|           child." ~"Oh, sir, sir!" said Rosa, imploringly. ~"Only,
272 26,1|        Well, then, let us return," said the boatman. ~They took
273 26,1|             clasped her hands, and said with that tone of honest
274 26,1|      declare, here is a proposal," said Van Systens. ~"What do you
275 26,1|   recognising them?" ~"After all," said Rosa, in her despair, "you
276 26,1|         Dear Mynheer van Systens," said William of Orange, with
277 26,1|         Monseigneur, Monseigneur!" said Van Systens, "what glory
278 26,1|          you got the flower here?" said the Prince, who, very likely,
279 26,1|         Monseigneur, if it must be said, a little difficulty has
280 26,2|            found my King Solomon," said Van Systens, bowing, and
281 26,2|            recollecting himself he said - ~"Go before me, and call
282 26,2|               Ah! a Frisian girl," said the Prince, as he observed

285 26,2|          none else there." ~Having said this he began to read again,
286 26,2|       least in appearance. ~"Yes," said Rosa, with a faltering voice, "
287 26,2|            a witness. ~"Continue," said William dryly, to the President
288 26,2| Horticultural Society. ~"Ah, sir," said Rosa, addressing the person
289 26,2|          seriously." ~"Certainly," said Van Systens, "the prisoner

291 26,2|            on Van Systens. ~"But," said the Prince, "it cannot be
292 26,2|            to Loewestein." ~"Sir," said Rosa, blushing. ~"Finish
293 26,2|      Finish what you have to say," said William. ~"I confess I knew

297 27,1|           t know this young girl?" said the Prince. ~"No, your Highness!" ~"
298 27,1|            with anger. ~"Silence!" said the Prince. ~Then, turning
299 27,1|        Then, turning to Boxtel, he said, - ~"And who is that prisoner
300 27,1|     question. ~"This prisoner," he said, "is a man whose name in

303 27,1|          your Highness." ~"Go on," said the Prince to Boxtel. ~"
304 27,1|         what infamous falsehoods!" said Rosa, bursting into tears,
305 27,2|          very wrong, my child," he said, "and your lover shall be
306 27,2|         him his life." ~"Silence!" said the Prince; "all these affairs

309 27,2|           or at Dort?" ~"At Dort," said Boxtel. ~"You lie!" cried
310 27,2|         she did the tulip," Boxtel said, with a faltering voice,

315 28,2|        mouth of the old jailer, he said, - ~"Bless the man, he is
316 28,2|           I think that's a stick," said Cornelius calmly, "but I

318 28,2|          Hush, hush, my good man," said Cornelius, "don't do anything

322 28,2|          here from Dort?" ~"Well?" said Gryphus. ~"Well, a pigeon

331 29,1|      struck, if I remember right," said the guard who had told him
332 29,1|           the story. ~"Thank you," said Cornelius. ~The guard still

335 29,2|            addressing the officer, said, - ~"I do not think it very
336 29,2|           this." ~"Well! hear me," said the officer, laughing, "
337 29,2|      self-defence." ~"Never mind," said the Captain, shrugging his

339 29,2|            at Buytenhof. ~"Enter," said the officer. ~"Ah!" muttered
