From that day forth the Professor was the most glorious of savants, and I was the happiest of men; for my pretty Virlandaise, resigning her place as ward, took her position in the old house on the Königstrasse in the double capacity of niece to my uncle and wife to a certain happy youth.
A partir de ce jour, mon oncle fut le plus heureux des savants, et moi le plus heureux des hommes, car ma jolie Virlandaise, abdiquant sa position de pupille, prit rang dans la maison de König-strasse en la double qualité de nièce et d'épouse.
