Presently, as the wind dropped for a moment, Ulrich broke silence.
"Let's shout for help," he said, "in this lull our voices may carry a little way."
"They won't carry far through the trees and undergrowth," said Georg, "but we can try. Together, then."
The two raised their voices in a prolonged hunting call.
"Together again," said Ulrich a few minutes later, page 1 of 1 after listening in vain for an answering halloo.

"You are too hasty, sir," she cried. "You forget that I have made no answer. Let me do it without further loss of time. Accept my thanks for the compliment you are paying me. I am very sensible of the honour of your proposals, but it is impossible for me to do otherwise than to decline them."

I am therefore by no means discouraged by what you have just said, and shall hope to lead you to the altar erelong."
"Upon my word, sir," cried Elizabeth, "your hope is a rather extraordinary one after my declaration. I do

Question 5
A Cup of Tea
by Katherine Mansfield
If course, the car was there. She'd only to cross th pavement. But still she waited. There are moment: horrible moments in life, when one emerges from shelter and looks out, and it's awful. One oughtn't to give way to them. One ought to go home and have an extra-special tea. But at the very instant of thinking that, a young girl, thin, dark, shadowy — where had she come from? -was standing at Rosemary's elbow and a voice like a sigh, almost like a sob, breathed:
"Madame, may I speak to you a moment?"
"Speak to me?" Rosemary turned. She saw a little battered creature with enormous eyes, someone quite young, no older than herself, who clutched at her coat-collar with reddened hands, and shivered as though she had just come out of the water.
"M-madame," stammered the voice. "Would you let me have the price of a cup of tea?"
"A cup of tea?" There was something simple, sincere in that voice; it wasn't in the least the voice of a beggar. "Then have you no money at all?" asked Rosemary.
"None, madam," came the answer.

A Cup of Tea
by Katherine Mansfield
"Rosemary, may I come in?" It was Philip.
"Of course."
He came in. "Oh, I'm so sorry," he said, and stopped and stared.
"It's quite all right," said Rosemary smiling. "This is my friend, Miss—-"
"Smith, madam," said the languid figure, who was strangely still and unafraid.
"Smith," said Rosemary. "We are going to have a little talk."
Oh, yes," said Philip. "Quite," and his eye caugh sight of the coat and hat on the floor. He came ove to the fire and turned his back to it. "It's a beastly afternoon," he said curiously, still looking at that listless figure, looking at its hands and boots, and then at Rosemary again.
"Yes, isn't it?" said Rosemary enthusiastically. "Vile."
Philip smiled his charming smile. "As a matter of fact," said he, "I wanted you to come into the library for a moment. Would you? Will Miss Smith excuse us?"
The big eyes were raised to him, but Rosemary answered for her. "Of course she will." And they went out of the room together.
"I say," said Philip, when they were alone. "Explain.
Who is she? What does it all mean?"
Rosemary, laughing, leaned against the door and said: "I picked her up in Curzon Street. Really. She's a real pick-up. She asked me for the price of a cup of tea, and I brought her home with me."
"But what on earth are you going to do with her?" cried Philip.
"Be nice to her," said Rosemary quickly. "Be frightfully nice to her. Look after her. I don't know how. We haven't talked yet. But show her —treat her
