N. and T. began upon me with the everlasting jokes about Wonsiedel; that went on until eleven o'clock. But afterwards N. and T. began to torment me to go to the wine-shop; I refused as long as I could.

The room was dirty and filled with flies, but the lattice shutters kept out the heat and they found the shadow pleasant after the glare outside. Jake dropped into a cane chair with a sigh of content.
He knew that one man's wages were expended for his family, to pay the baker and the druggist, or for his children's schooling. Another wanted his money for the wine-shop or for something even worse.

But if Vigo doesn't come soon, by my faith, I'll walk to St. Denis!"
