As they appeared in the door of the living-room, Fulton's hand dropped from his wife's waist. She was very rosy and lovely. They looked as if they had loitered on their way back from the nursery. "Mrs. Fulton," I said, "I don't like your coffee-machine because I think it's going to explode, and we don't know how to get the coffee out. And I don't like your friend.
The next evening Amedee allowed me to perceive that he was concealing something under his arm as he stoked the coffee-machine, and upon my asking what it was, he glanced round the courtyard with histrionic slyness, placed the object on the table beside my cap, and stepped back to watch the impression, his manner that of one who declaims: "At last the missing papers are before you!"
Perhaps; but I sha'n't need you. You'll see that my cigarettes and coffee-machine are in place, and: that I don't have to crawl about the floor in search of my pen-wiper? That's all. Now about these letters Oh, Mrs. Dale Mrs. Dale. Well? Hilda. I'd rather sit up for you. Mrs. Dale. Child, I've nothing for you to do.
The outside world, in which he had been transacting funeral business all the day was completely wiped out. In an instant he snuffed glamour and magic. They had all their things very dainty, two odd and lovely little cups, scarlet and solid gilt, and a little black jug with scarlet discs, and the curious coffee-machine, whose spirit-flame flowed steadily, almost invisibly.
Now when my senses were full of her, it seemed incredible that I could ever have forgotten.... "Oh, Crikey!" said my aunt, reading a letter behind her coffee-machine. "HERE'S a young woman, George!" We were breakfasting together in the big window bay at Lady Grove that looks upon the iris beds; my uncle was in London. I sounded an interrogative note and decapitated an egg.
His neighbour across the landing the little sculptor, Caspar Arran, humorously called "Gasper" on account of his bronchial asthma had lately been joined by a sister, Kate Arran, a strapping girl, fresh from the country, who had installed herself in the little room off her brother's studio, keeping house for him with a chafing-dish and a coffee-machine, to the mirth and envy of the other young men in the building.
If the boy had not been there?... Ah, then he would have had a short peaceful nap by now, stretched out on the divan with the newspaper in front of his face, and would be going across to Käte's room for a cosy chat and a cup of coffee, which she prepared herself so gracefully on the humming Viennese coffee-machine.
He said he could not sleep, and, unhappily, catching sight of my coffee-machine, he added that he would like some coffee. "Sleep if you can," he said; "I can manage it all for myself."
"I've known her longer than I've known you," I said, and explained at length. My aunt kept her eye on me over and round the coffee-machine as I did so. She was greatly interested, and asked several elucidatory questions. "Why didn't you tell me the day you saw her? You've had her on your mind for a week," she said. "It IS odd I didn't tell you," I admitted.
With Nelson he shared a room in the Luisenstrasse, where they set up that household god of all German students a "coffee-machine," with the aid of which, and some flaming spiritus, they brewed their morning and evening beverage. They dined in the middle of the day at a neighbouring restaurant, on soup, meat, vegetables, and black bread, at a cost of threepence.
