The actual sum of money paid and promised to be paid on the body of the now ruined Gigerl, now amounted, with interest, to more than four times its original value, thus constituting one of those interesting problems in real and comparative value so interesting to the ingenuous political economist, who believes that all value can be traced to supply and demand.
Fischelowitz, however, asked no questions, and took the Gigerl as payment of the debt. The thing amused him, and it diverted him to construct an imaginary chain of circumstances to explain how the man in the coloured glasses had got possession of it.
"Fischelowitz knows as well as you do yourself how safe you are to get the money to-morrow." "Naturally," replied the Count, with great calmness. "But besides that, the Gigerl is broken badly broken in the middle, and the musical box is spoiled too." "Fischelowitz must have been very angry," observed Dumnoff. "Not at all. It was his wife.
He is lacking alike in virility and intellect, and seems to have no other aim and aspiration in life than to live up to his name and reputation as the leader of masculine fashion or "Gigerl König," which may be rendered into English as "king of the dudes."
"That is my Gigerl!" he repeated, laying one heavy hand upon the board, and thrusting the forefinger of the other under the doll's nose. Dumnoff stared at him with an expression which showed that he did not in the least understand what was happening.
It is enough to irritate the seven archangels, Herr Schmidt, indeed it is! And then at the same time there was that dreadful Gigerl, and my head was splitting I am sure there will be a thunder-storm to-night altogether, I could not bear it any longer, and I actually upset the Gigerl out of anger, and it rolled to the floor and was broken.
Dumnoff moved to Schmidt's side and whispered into his ear. "Do you think they have come about the Gigerl?" he inquired anxiously. "Do you think they will arrest us again?" "Durak!" laughed the Cossack. "How can two Russian gentlemen arrest you in Munich? This is something connected with the Count's friends. It is my belief that they have come at last. See here he is."
