"I have not yet told thee that I intend to buy a lovely plot of ground on the shore of the lake, which is to be made into a pretty flower-garden for thy use alone.

Will not that be pleasant ?" "Thou art very kind; the garden will be lovely.

That plot of ground, then, will be our home, will it not?
What is one's home called ?" "It is called the fatherland." "Then every country is not one's fatherland ?" "If our enemies live there, it is not." "What are enemies ?" "Persons with whom we are angry." "What is angry?
I have never yet seen anything like it.

Why art thou never angry ?" "Because I have no reason to be angry with thee, and I never associate with any one else." "What do those persons do who become angry with one another ?" "They avoid each other.

If they are very angry they fight; and if they are very, very angry they kill each other." The maid was tortured with curiosity to-day.
