Appendix
The Charades in this story, involving play upon the German words and syllables, are of course nearly all untranslatable; the translator has therefore substituted English ones; as follows:
Welcome for "Heimkehr"
Music " "Katzenmusik"
Milton " "Vogelweide"
Palfrey " "Milch Strasse"
Plato " "Aristotle"
Caesar " "Heliogabal"
Bonaparte " "Wallenstein"
Matterhorn " "Finsteraarhorn"
Gladstone " "Semiramis"
