112 AN ART-STUDENT IN MUNICH.
her six little boys !—also had thought the sledge magnifi-
cent ! The elder two of the six little fellows, going to
their afternoon school, had met Fraulein Sanchen as she
returned in the sledge, and had, after setting up a shout of
recognition and admiration, besought leave to mount “ into
the glorious sledge just for a tiny drive/’—but the burly
be-furred driver had cracked his long whip unfeelingly, and
sped past the “ little grey goblins,” as hand-in-hand they
stood upon the pavement, with the hoods of their grey cloaks
drawn over their heads, gazing after the departing glory
with big round brown eyes. But as the handsome sledge
dashed round the corner of- Strasse, the portly
figui'e of the gay Frau Oberstin had appeared among the
ivy-wreaths of her window, the casement had flown open,
and the good-humoured face of the lady, and the golden
locks and rosy cheeks of a third child had leaned out into
the sunshine, and a clear little voice had rung through the
frosty air, reaching Fraulein Sanchen’s purposely deaf ears,
with the cry of “We come, we come !”

old Fraulein’s description of the Frau Oberstin’s sudden
apparition at the ivy-wreathed casement, gave a violent
jerk of vexation to the strings of her new bonnet, when
in burst the smiling uninvited guest, brilliant in an elegant
toilette, with the golden-haired Adalbert springing around
her, and his blue and white plumes bobbing about like
mad things.
“ Here we are, my dear young ladies, you see; come to
drive out with you in the splendid sledge,—you know you
couldn’t possibly drive out by yourselves—it does not look
well! and it’s just what I’ve been wanting all day. I was
terribly moped; and Adalbert, my Wurmchen, didn’t you
want a drive in the beautiful sledge ? Oh! we’ll have
