Opis

But the other lady, incensed at what she considered uncalled-for, even rather impertinent advice, replied sharply, -I shouldn't think of doing anything so unkind and so unjust Why, because the powers of evil have conquered-I mean by that the dreadful German military party-should I behave unjustly to a faithful old German woman who has been with me-let me see-why, who has been with me exactly eighteen years? With the exception of a married niece with whom she went and stayed in Berlin three autumns ago, my poor old Anna hasn't a relation left in Germany. Her whole life is centred in me-or perhaps I ought to say in Rose. She was the only nurse Rose ever had.- -And yet she has remained typically German, - observed Miss Forsyth irrelevantly.
