CHAPTER VI.
DITTMER Book.

There Is not much society for rau1-
,iltes such as this of Doughty Square;
friends and relations Of course there
are; but there is little hospitality, and
one can not expect much visiting
when the ladies Of the household are
occupied all day long in keeping the
family neat and respectable to out
ward show. The theater, with an or,
der to the upper circle, is the most
desired form of female recreation.
Nevertheless, the Emptages had one
regular and even constant visitor. He
came every morning and smoked a.
cigar-of Hamburg manufa acture-and
conversed with Mr.. Emptage and the
ladies. He came at first with the
view Of improving his English by con-
versation, but, it must be confessed,
he now came chiefly for the purpose Of
conversing with Katharine.
He was young German named Dit
mer Book. He conducted correspond
ence for the house, which also en-
ployed Mr.. Emptage, in many foreign
languages; he wrote letters and took
down instructions in shorthand; he
drew forty pounds year; he lived
upon that salary, and he presented the
appearance Of one who lived upon
four times that salary. The young
Germans who come to London in the
day Of small things practice the small
economies; they share bedrooms; they
know where to go for meals of a sat
isfying kind, large in bulk to satisfy
the Teutonic hunger, but cheap. Eigh-
teen pence a day is considered by
some of the younger Adventures as
an ample allowance for food; for ev-
erything not absolutely necessary a
German who means to rise must wait.
Dittmer was sturdy, well-set-up
young fellow, actually without spec
tacles. He had the blue eyes and the
fair hair of his country; his manners
were gentle; he firmly believed in the
enormous superiority of Germans over
the rest Of mankind. He loved dane.

playing his own accompaniments, the
folk songs of which the good. German
never tires; he sung them with great
feeling, and in the evening when the
largest lamp was lighted-the gas lamp

and Katharine, sat at the table saw

side, his legs crossed with an even
ing paper, enjoying the leisure of a
gentleman who has put away care for
the day, it was pretty to see Dittmer
spreading his fingers over the KEYS
and to listen while he warbled one
after the other the ditties Of the father.

Il became the custom with the young
man when Katharine stayed until nine
no one could stay later because that
was the time for the family supper
to walk home with her as far as the
door of Harley House.
