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"
