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.
Van dien dag af was mijn oom de gelukkigste aller geleerden en ik de gelukkigste aller mannen; want mijne lieve Graeuben, hare betrekking van pupil nederleggende, nam plaats in het huis in de Koningstraat in de dubbele betrekking van nicht en echtgenoote.
