"Fritz! what does that sulky face mean ?" "I consider myself very badly used," Fritz answered.

"I say there's a great want of proper consideration for Me, in putting off our marriage.
And Madame Fontaine agrees with me." "Madame Fontaine ?" He looked at Minna, as he repeated the name.

"Is this really true ?" Minna trembled at the bare recollection of what had passed.

"Oh, don't ask me!" she pleaded piteously; "I can't tell what has come to my mother--she is so changed, she frightens me.

And as for Fritz," she said, rousing herself, "if he is to be a selfish tyrant, I can tell him this--I won't marry him at all!" Mr.Keller turned to Fritz, and pointed contemptuously down the stairs.
"Leave us!" he said.
