general, having paid his fine of forty
marks, would find himself free man
again in time for lunch the following

of such an one the Germany official

foreign dog life is a peaceful proceed

tears spring to his eyes he hastens on

the foreign dog sees a cat in a hurry
he stands aside to allow her to pass.
