To my eye she doesn't\nlook immediately \"German\" the way some people\ndo. There was a German girl in my class last\nterm whom I greeted with the words: \u201cAre you\nGerman ?\u201c A very pretty one,too,with a nice\npersonality, I may say! (And I can tell you I\nhave sampled xxxxxxx unpleasant\nTeutonic womanhood] The good ones are splendid,\nand the others fiendish.) xxxx I am happy to\ntell you that Herta and I have gradually but\nseemingly inevitably deepened our relationship.\nFor her,the attraction to me was immediate;\nbut at our first meeting we didn't talk xxxxx\ntogether for more than 5 minutes. But long\nenough for her to get my address. Then when she\ncame in January I couldn't clearly visualise\nher. You see ,when I gave her my address,I\nthought perhaps she would send me a Christmas\ncard or something like that,and she had just\nbeen one of a group of teachers-- and not one\nwho had gained my attention by comments or\nquestions. But as the Yanks say - that's the\nway the cookie crumbles.\n","Type":"Text"}}]
