=Page 36.=--36-1. =Monte Testaccio= (Ital., pronounce {testat´scho}) =
“Mountain of Sherds.”--Just beyond the limits of the Protestant
Cemetery in Rome (see page 29, Note 3), a wide and lofty hill rises,
called “Monte Testaccio” which at first looks as if it were a natural
elevation of the ground, but on examination proves to be nothing but
sherds of broken wine-jars. It was doubtless once the site of the
manufacture of these articles.
36-2. {=leuchtend=} = {mit leuchtenden Augen}.
36-3. That the information of the Roman cab-driver was incorrect, can
be seen from what has been said, Page 29, Note 3. But besides the
Protestant Cemetery, there is also a German Cemetery (“Cimetero dei
Tedeschi”), situated near St. Peter’s, the most ancient burial-ground
in Rome, instituted by Constantine the Great (306-337 A.D.), and
filled with earth from Mt. Calvary.
36-4. {=hin=}--explain the idiom. Cf. Page 32, Note 4.
36-5. {=wohl=} (adverb. idiom), how to render?
=Page 37.=--37-1. {=mir ist=} = {es ist mir} or {es ist mir zu Mut},
cf. Page 4, Note 2.
37-2. {=möchte=}--explain the idiom. Cf. Page 5, Note 12.
37-3. {=eine=} (emphatic), why?
37-4. {=heim=} (idiom) = ? Cf. Page 5, Note 12.
37-5. {=ihr=}, refers to {Fräulein Milla}.
37-6. {=Sie sie=}--for euphony the second {sie} might better have been
avoided by substituting {dieselben}.
37-7. {=einmal=} (indef.)--meaning?
37-8. {=recht=} (colloq.) for {recht genau} or {recht scharf}.
37-9. {=das= sind ihre Kinder}--Explain the idiom; cf. Page 27, Note
8.
=Page 38.=--38-1. {=wohl=} (adverb. idiom), here = ?
38-2. {=es geht mir ein Licht auf=} (colloq. phrase), _it begins to
dawn upon me_.
38-3. {die =heitere= Vorsteherin}, for {das heitere Wesen} or {den
heiteren Charakter der Vorsteherin}.
38-4. {=du räumst ... aus=}--the present tense with the force of an
emphatic imperative = {räume sofort ... aus!}
38-5. {=es blieb dabei=} (impers. phrase), _he insisted upon it_; _the
thing was settled_.
=Page 39.=--39-1. Account for {=sich=}; cf. Page 9, Note 8.
39-2. {=ihm war es=} (cf. Page 37, Note 1), {=wie wenn=}, syn. {als
ob}, {als wenn}.
39-3. {=die Studenten zählten die „Häupter ihrer Lieben“=} (lit. “the
heads of their beloved”). A quotation from Schiller’s {„Das Lied von
der Glocke,“} verses 225-226 of which run thus:
{Er zählt die Häupter seiner Lieben,
Und sieh! Ihm fehlt kein teures Haupt.}
_The faces that he loves--he counts them o’er,_
See--not one look is missing from that store.
(_Edward Bulwer Lytton._)
here jocosely applied to the crowned heads stamped on coins; (comp.
Eng. “mopusses”).
39-4. {=d. h.=}, abbrev. for {das heißt}, = _i.e._
39-5. {=wohin´?=} supply the verb.
39-6. {=O´beritalien=} (=Upper Italy=), i.e. _Northern Italy_.
39-7. {=ein´geschlagen!=} (idiom.) perf. partic. for imperative =
{schlagen Sie ein!}
