Your mother is tabled at a religious house at Salisbury." "I know. I landed at Southampton and have seen her." "And Dennet," Stephen added with a short laugh, "she could not wait for you." "No, verily. Did I not wot well that she cared not a fico for me? I hoped when I made off that thou wouldst be the winner, Steve, and I am right glad thou art, man."

Look how the stupid, stupid fellow is holding Skippy! All the blood will rush into his poor little head. The dog, the dog; you foolish fellow; the d-o-g, dog! I can't make him understand. Please tell him, Mr. Pinac." "Hund hund!" shouted Fico to Poons. "Le chien Le chien! Idiot, stupid!" said Pinac.
"I said to hell with the café I say it now!" ejaculated Fico. "The café to hell, and many of him!" "My beautiful 'cello is wasted in that food hole," said Poons to Von Barwig in German, then he laughed and told him a funny story that he had read that day in the Fliegende Blätter. He did his best to make the old man laugh with him, but Von Barwig only smiled sadly.
In spite of her sorrow she felt proud of the past. The men looked at each other. They had heard this for the past fifteen years. It meant a long session and they wanted to practise their music; so Pinac merely nodded, and Fico shook his head gravely. "Why, I was pointed out by everybody as Miss Houston of Houston Street. I was a landmark; a sight." "Yes," said Pinac unconsciously.
Then noticing that Ryan was standing he said with a smile, "Brother artist, be seated!" Pinac and Fico roared with laughter. Mr. Ryan sat down, mumbling to himself that that sort of sarcasm didn't go with him; he was a workman, not an artist. Von Barwig apologised and then, looking at Schwarz, waited for him to speak. A very awkward pause ensued.
"Hello, Anton, old friend," cried Fico as he grasped Von Barwig by the hand. "Go on playing, don't stop for me!" said Von Barwig, taking off his rubbers and brushing the snow off his hat and coat. Poons hurriedly put away his 'cello. He was ashamed of playing ordinary waltz music in the presence of Von Barwig.
Von Barwig put him at his ease, then called in Pinac and Fico, and they listened to the child's playing in open-mouthed astonishment. Bit by bit Von Barwig elicited his history from him. His name, it appeared, was Josef Branski, and he was the oldest of seven children. His father and mother had come from Warsaw, in Poland, and worked in a sweat shop below Grand Street near the river.
"This was not exactly my meaning," said the boy, dryly. "'A fico for your meaning, as the Swan says. Hallo, you sir! Bully Host, clear the table fresh tumblers hot water sugar lemon and The bottle's out! Smoke, sir?" and Mr. Peacock offered me a cigar.
As for Pinac and Fico, they were too full of their own affairs to notice anything unless it was brought directly to their attention, and as Von Barwig made it a rule never to burden other people with his troubles they were in blissful ignorance of his mental perturbation.
