Cyprian stood up; and, as was his habit when his mind was full of something, so that he had to take a little time to arrange his words in order to express it, he walked several times up and down the room.
Cyprian stand auf und ging, wie er zu tun pflegte, wenn irgend etwas so sein ganzes inneres Gemüt erfüllte, daß er die Worte ordnen mußten um es auszusprechen, im Zimmer einigemal auf und ab. Die Freunde lächelten sich schweigend an.

To be absolutely accurate, there is just one idea that came from a song, but I keep the habit up just in case it works again which it won’t, but never mind.
