Mind, I am not saying that this is not the most desirable type of life in the world; that it is not an almost unreasonably high standard. For it is really nauseating, when you detest it, to have to eat every day several slices of thin, tepid, pink india rubber, and it is disagreeable to have to drink brandy when you would prefer to be cheered up by warm, sweet Kümmel.
I! Mario Sarelli, a low type! I love flesh better than my honour!" He remained swaying at the gate with the grin fixed on his face; then staggered up the steps, and banged the door. But before Harz had walked on, he again appeared, beckoning, in the doorway. Obeying an impulse, Harz went in. "We will make a night of it," said Sarelli; "wine, brandy, kummel? I am virtuous kummel it must be for me!"
And then he sent me some kümmel, it was Prussian made, wretched sweet stuff, and very bad. I returned it, and told him a bit of my mind. But he won't take the trousers back, and tells me he never wore them. Does the fellow imagine that I will wear red trousers? Look, Charles, that's Gürlitz down there to the left." "And that, I suppose, is Gürlitz church-steeple?" asked Hawermann.
Sarelli lifted the kummel bottle and emptied it into his glass, with a steady hand. "You're honest and we both have devils. I forgot; I brought you in to see a picture!" He threw wide the shutters; the windows were already open, and a rush of air came in. "Ah!" he said, sniffing, "smells of the earth, nicht wahr, Herr Artist?
And next to the dining room there was the space where provisions were kept together with kegs of kümmel, and French and Rhine wines and claret....
They entered the reception-room, bearing huge trays of sculptured silver, upon which were anchovies, the finest Finnish caviar, sliced oranges, cheese, and crystal flagons of Cognac, rum, and kummel. There were fewer servants for the remaining guests, who were gathered in a separate chamber, and regaled with the common black caviar, onions, bread, and vodki.
Then, half suffocated, Vogotzine flung the paper on the floor; and, with eyes distended with horror, drawing the caraffe of kummel toward him, he half emptied it, drinking glass after glass to recover his self-control. It seemed to him that Froloff was there behind him, and that the branches of the candelabra, stretching over his heated head, were the arms of gibbets ready to seize him.
"All right, kid," he said. "I told her you'ld pay when Uncle Sam came across. Ever had any Kummel?" "What the hell's that?" "You'll see." They sat down before a dish of fried eggs at the table in the corner, the favoured table, where Marie herself often sat and chatted, when wizened Madame did not have her eye upon her. Several men drew up their chairs. Wild Dan Cohan always had an audience.
Then Hyacinthe, who took no coffee contemptuously declaring it to be a beverage only fit for door-keepers managed to rid himself of Rosemonde, who was sipping some kummel, in order to come and whisper to his sister: "I say, it was very stupid of you to taunt mamma in the way you did just now. I don't care a rap about it myself.
After the latter had turned the corner of Pike Street, Uncle Mosha lingered to take the morning air. A fresh breeze from the southwest brought with it a faint odour of salt herring and onions from the grocery store next door, while from the bakery across the street came the fragrant evidence of a large batch of Kümmel brod.
