mood for story telling. he used to say
that, being in Berlin on very hot

still fairly numerous at that time and
told the driver where to go. His des-

his driver was taking a very affecting
leave of one of his fellows. as though
he were starting on a life or death

drive was for minimum fare and
would have refused TO go on. But by
