[Footnote 1: Certain German houses are divided Into two parts the so-called "Hinterhaus" and "Vorderhaus." The "Vorderhaus" (_translated roughly "on the avenue"_) is the larger part and usually belongs to the owner. The "Hinterhaus" (_rendered "on the alley"_) is a few rooms opening on an alleyway or court whose occupants sometimes act in the capacity of caretakers, but who often have nothing to do with the people in the Vorderhaus and hardly consider themselves on a plane with the richer family"s servants.--Tr.]
