9: Because his remembrance threatened to kill your mother
10: I searched the whole harbor up and down
11: Ardent wish of your mother ought not to remain unfulfilled
12: The dying man raised himself upright
13: And had seemed petrified into hatred against his fatherland
14: Who had bowed a polite assent to the first request
15: Enveloped in a thick woollen plaid
16: Had seen her getting soaked through and through
17: She returned with unconcealed irony
18: For scarce had Frederic caught the first words
19: And glanced around at Frederic
20: Girt herself about with this icy dignity and haughtiness
21: Which really shunned all recognition
22: Care worn face of Frederic was visible
23: Interrupted Frederic with great positiveness

53: All the quarters were full to overflowing
54: Began Atkins after a brief pause
55: The master joiner understood none of this English

76: Yet once more Walter turned back to Jane
77: So Lieutenant Witte informs us
78: Fernow said all this lucidly and calmly
79: Walter was the general favorite
80: I will meantime advise with Lieutenant Fernow
81: Alison remarked his embarrassment
82: Alison's eyes flashed in annihilating scorn
83: But it only the more enraged Alison
