"It's too bad; such a nice young man as you are," said the MAMSELL, who, herself not very sober, was sitting at ease on his knee, swinging her legs. "But you nice ones are always chicken-hearted.

The courtier jumped up, crying, "We can't have him in here he's a lunatic! It's quite impossible, my dear Mamsell Rauchfuss." Beate smiled. "If he's brewed and baked in the same way as all of us, why not?"
"My Baron looked at me queerly, but he listened to reason, and I didn't have to go to the Mamsell again because he went himself. And then he made friends with Mamsell Manon, and she came over and brought the King's wine herself.
