While the troops were passing, Count Bismarck had the kindness to point out to me the different organizations, giving scraps of their history, and also speaking concerning the qualifications of the different generals commanding them. When the review was over we went to the Count's house, and there, for the first time in my life, I tasted kirschwasser, a very strong liquor distilled from cherries.

"Well, comrades!" cried Max softly, now appearing on the scene, "why are you star-gazing? the planets don't distil kirschwasser. Come, let us go to Mere Cognette's!" "To Mere Cognette's! To Mere Cognette's!" they all cried. The cry, uttered as with one voice, produced a clamor which rang through the town like the hurrah of troops rushing to an assault; total silence followed.

Arrack from Batavia, Swedish eau-de-vie with cumin, tuica calugaresca from Rumania, slivowitz from Servia, all equally overturned every idea that Coqueville had of what one should endure. At heart they had a weakness for kümmel and kirschwasser, for liqueurs as pale as water and stiff enough to kill a man. Heavens! was it possible so many good things had been invented!
Then, speaking to Fuldrade, who seemed buried in thought "Fuldrade, this old gentleman cannot drink our kirschwasser, yet I cannot offer him water. Have you anything better?" Fuldrade took up a milk-pail, and, with an intelligent glance at Christian, went out. "Wait a moment," she said; "I shall be here directly."

It's so long since we have scented the mouth of woman! I carve the chicken; the corks fly, we drink like topers, we eat like ogres. The coffee steams in the cups; we gild it with cognac; my melancholy flies away, the punch kindles, the blue flames of the Kirschwasser leap in the salad bowl, the girls giggle, their hair in their eyes. Suddenly four strokes ring out slowly from the church tower.
At present we will trust to thy prudence. The friend hath gone to Italy in haste, that the delay may not create surprise! Well, each one to his humor on the highway: it is mine to journey in honor and security, though others may have a different taste. Let there be little said, good Michael: not so much as an imprudent look of the eye; and now, o' Heaven's sake, thy glass of kirschwasser!"
"Only half a one, but I finished all the juice in the dish " "Juice!" I cried. "Why, Mary, that was brandy and kirschwasser, and two or three other things." "Don't I know it? But I never thought, Missis dear, I came here to rubber at that fight between Miss Farquhar and the little blister " "Mary!" "Not a word more, Missis dear, if you don't like it!
