I can only assure you again and again that all the ladies have been most polite and amiable towards me." Güntz growled on: "Geese, a pack of stupid geese!" "For shame, Fatty!" Kläre remonstrated. But he continued to grumble. "Has a single one of them embraced you as they did Frau Kauerhof? Has one of them even kissed you? Has one been really nice and friendly to you?"
It was unpleasant to offend one whose papa was in the Ministry of War; and the situation might therefore have continued, perhaps to the satisfaction of the younger officers, if a fortunate chance had not brought Kauerhof himself to the tennis-ground. He escorted his wife chivalrously home, and led her, without a word, to the mirror.
Stuckhardt stepped back feeling considerably snubbed. Träger, Gropphusen, and Heuschkel got rather neutral pressures of the hand; Gropphusen, perhaps, being of noble family, was greeted rather more warmly than the others. Kauerhof proceeded with his introductions: "And now, sir, here is the head of our sixth battery, Captain von Wegstetten." Mohbrinck twisted his lips into a honied smile.
Before a commanding officer like this he felt he had no cause to tremble. "Captain Madelung, head of the fourth battery," proceeded Kauerhof. Mohbrinck greeted him with something like effusion: "Ah!" he cried, "our celebrated warrior from China. I am delighted delighted to have the honour of meeting you." He put on a rallying expression: "But you must not go to the Far East now, my dear sir.
Now I know why Fröben and Landsberg were staring at me so." Then she pouted: "But Frau von Gropphusen looked nice dressed like this!" Her husband answered quietly: "My child, 'quod licet Jovi, non licet bovi." "What? What does that mean?" Kauerhof translated gallantly, "You are prettier than the Gropphusen, my Marion; but she is thinner than you."
