The former said: "Isa Bopp couldn't beat that, could he?" "Oi, oi!" sighed Ikey ecstatically. "A periscope like a smokestack!"
It makes me laugh to think how the great German Helicon, shrunk toa rivulet, goes bubbling and gurgling over the pebbly names of Zwinger, Wurgendrussel, Buchenlin, Hellfire, Old Stoll, Young Stoll, Strong Bopp, Dang Brotscheim, Batt Spiegel, Peter Pfort, and Martin Gumpel.
