"There, they are going to the library.
But he obtained no response to this mute and threatening supplication except a stupid smile and these stammering words: "Give me something to drink, Boleslas Marinski-Graboski I believe that Satan has lighted his heating apparatus within my stomach." The persons seated near the two friends heard an angry hiss from Gerfaut's lips.
