      Nun kam es ihm sogar wie eine kleine Strafe für seine Frau vor, daß er alles von Arnheim schon wußte, während sie noch nichts als den Menschen in diesem sah und nicht ahnte, daß er ein Sendling des Zaren sei;
      Now it even appeared like as small punishment for his wife, that he already knew all of Arnheim, whereas she saw nothing more than the human in him and did not guess him to be a sendling of the Tsar.
