"And then you'll lie down upstairs in your room and sleep a little.""Yes, then I'll lie down and sleep a little.""You've had a bad trip?" Hans turned to the privy councillor."A very bad. We decided only at the last moment. Indeed, he was not to be moved for the departure and wanted to stay under any circumstances. Only when everyone around us fled did the Hutemach and I bring him to it with a bit of force. Now, however, it had already become a little late. We needed to take the railway trip here, which one otherwise does in two hours with the fast train, the whole night, from ten o'clock in the evening until seven o'clock in the morning, and rode in the most dreadful corner in a compartment in the fourth class."The waiter brought the lunch. Hans was invited and gladly joined. But the Bärwalder took next to nothing.
