English Dictionary

Carl Wiesenhavern, a man of noble character, and, therefore a man who hates knavery, and has no fear of a knave, answered with his peculiar German coolness, "Here I am, what do you want?"

"Nobblers round," was the eager reply.

"If that's what you want," replied Wiesenhavern, "you shall have it with pleasure."

"We got no money."

Carl Wiesenhavern, a man of noble character, and, therefore a man who hates knavery, and has no fear of a knave, answered with his peculiar German coolness, Here I am, what do you want? Nobblers round, was the eager reply. If that's what you want, replied Wiesenhavern, you shall have it with pleasure. We got no money. I did not ask for any: understand me well, though; pointing at each of them with the forefinger of his clenched right hand, you will have a nobbler a-piece, and no more: afterwards you will go your way. Are you satisfied with my conditions?
