Austria -- Fiction; German language -- Readers -- English; Travelers -- Fiction
13-9. {=Ihnen=} (ethical dative), expressing a more remote relation to
the person concerned in, or affected by an action or its
result--somewhat related to the Engl. expletive „you know“ of the
uneducated classes. Not translated.
13-10. {=die letze Artigkeit=} (ironically), refers to the student’s
mentioning dogs and ladies close together.
13-11. =Jamais= (French = {niemals}), _never_.--Characteristic of the
German students’ colloquial speech is the mixing of German with
foreign words and phrases.
13-12. {=als=} (dialect.), cf. Page 5, Note 10.
13-13. {=nach=}, _after, following, in the direction of, according
to_, in this sense it always follows its case.
=Page 14.=--14-1. {=so rot auch=}, _no matter how red_ ...
14-2. {=genommen=}. Note the omission of the auxiliary; in what
clauses only?
14-3. {=die drei Elstern=}, _those three regular magpies_.--The magpie
as a symbol of garrulity.
14-4. {=Onkel=}, a customary address in students’ language.

moment_.
15-3. {=das ist immer das erste=} ({was ich an einem fremden Platze
thue}, being implied).
15-4. {schaut’s} (= {schaut =es=}) {=aus=}, indef. = _things or
matters look_.
15-5. {=es thut= ausschauen}, familiar paraphrase for {es schaut aus}.
15-6. {=zum andern=} (obsol. phrase.), _for the second; in the second
place; furthermore, besides_.
15-7. {mit dem Schlafen ist es =alle=} (colloq. phrase) = {ist es
aus}, _there is no chance_ or _no prospect for a good night’s sleep_.
15-8. {=San´cho Pan´sa=}, name of the squire and companion of Don
Quixote in the Spanish poet’s Cervantes’s romance; trans. perhaps:
_ministering spirit or valet_.
15-9. {=fein=} (adverb), trans. somewhat like: _with a fine_ or
_elegant pronunciation_ or _accent_.
15-10. {=es ist gut=} (colloq. phrase) = {es ist abgemacht, es ist
genug;} _it is done_ or _settled_.
15-11. {=da hinten=} (=there behind=), _in the room in the rear; in the
backroom, in the servants’ hall_.

{=Kerle wie die ...=}, _fellows as agile or lively as the ..._
16-2. {=sich=}. Account for the case. Cf. Page 9, Note 8. 3. {=kein
Wort ist zu verstehen=} (cf. Page 10, Note 5). The student could not
understand the mountaineers, since among themselves they use the
dialect of the Alpine districts.
16-4. {(prasselt’s) = prasselt =es=} (indef.) = {das Feuer prasselt}.
16-5. {=hier unten=}, _here on the floor of this room_.

davon?“}
