up to this rather exacting standard Of
early rising said nothing but one day
walked into the barrack room at 9

emperor showed neither annoyance nor
surprise. He asked where the lesson

when the captain showed himself The
kaiser returned his salute and made no
allusiOn to his crestfallen countenance,
but handed him the lesson book after
pointing out how far the class had got

Nothing more was said or heard
about the incident until a few days
later. when the captain received a
