She wrings her hands, and having sailed as it were into the further end of the pit, vaults back, and commences a series of wild gyrations round Mr. Krone. "Poor wretch!" says Brother Spyke, complacently, "the gin has dried up her senses made her what she is." "Maniac Munday! Maniac Munday!" suddenly echoes and re-echoes through the pit.
He avoided the Krone, and after inquiring his way, stopped at the much smaller hostelry, Mergler's Inn. Here he gave his name, and asking if any one waited for him, was conducted upstairs to a room where he found Herr Kruger just about to sit down to his supper.
When the omnibus came along, the most of them went with it to Cassel; but five remained and persuaded me to set out with them on foot. They insisted on carrying my knapsack the whole way, through the rain and darkness, and when I had passed the city gate with them, unchallenged, conducted me to the comfortable hotel, "Zur Krone." It is a pleasant thing to wake up in the morning in a strange city.
On the way home he said: "I ought not to ask you, I expect, but would you go to the Krone with me tomorrow evening?" "The Krone what's that?" "It's a place where they dance." "A dance hall, in other words. Where is it? Do you feel so much like dancing?" "No, not much." "You want to see what goes on there?" "Yes." "All right, I'll go."
