In a German Pension
1. GERMANS AT MEAT
Bread soup was placed upon the table.
“Ah,” said the Herr Rat, leaning upon the table as he peered into the
tureen, “that is what I need. My ‘magen’ has not been in order for
several days. Bread soup, and just the right consistency. I am a good
cook myself”—he turned to me.
“How interesting,” I said, attempting to infuse just the right amount of
enthusiasm into my voice.
“Oh yes—when one is not married it is necessary. As for me, I have had
all I wanted from women without marriage.” He tucked his napkin into his
collar and blew upon his soup as he spoke. “Now at nine o’clock I make
myself an English breakfast, but not much. Four slices of bread, two
eggs, two slices of cold ham, one plate of soup, two cups of tea—that is
nothing to you.”
