My name is Wilhelm Eynhardt.

I come from Berlin, and took up my abode an hour ago at the Schloss hotel." "From Berlin," said the girl quickly; "then we are neighbors.

That is very nice.

And where do you live in Berlin, if I may ask ?" "In Dorotheenstrasse." "Of course you do," and a clear laugh deepened the shadow of her dimples.
"Why 'of course ?'" asked Wilhelm, rather surprised.
"Why, because that is our Latin quarter, and as a student--you are a student, I suppose ?" "Yes, and no.

In the German sense I am no longer a student, for I took my degree a year ago; but the word in English is better and truer, as there 'student' is used where we should say scholar (gelehrter).
Scholars we are, not only learners.
