Here we were, all met together for one hour from our several homes and occupations, to welcome in the year with clinked glasses and cries of Prosit Neujahr! The tolling bells above us stopped. Our turn had come. Out into the snowy air we tumbled, beneath the row of wolves' heads that adorn the pent-house roof.
'Prosit, he said, raising his glass. 'You are from South Africa. What make you in Europe? We both looked sullen and secretive. 'That's our own business, I answered. 'You don't expect to buy our confidence with a glass of beer. 'So? he said. 'Then I will put it differently. From your speech in the cafe I judge you do not love the English.
After that he began to sing in a low voice, and before each fresh cup as he raised it he cried aloud "Prosit, Adam!" and when it was empty: "I Heartily thank you, Heyden!" Thus would he go on till he had drunk out divers jugs, and the tower seemed to be spinning round him.
“Prosit!” responded the Baron, enthusiastically. “You know ze Deutsch, sare?” “I am safer in English, I confess.” “Ach, das ist goot, I vant for to practeese. Ve vill talk English.” “With all my heart,” said the stranger. “I, too, am alone, and I hold myself more than fortunate in making your acquaintance.
"You will take beer?" he added, drawing forward an iron chair for we were in the Brauerei Garden. "Thank you." "A doctor of medicine the Herr Professor tells me," he said pleasantly. "Prosit," he added, as he raised his great mug to his lips. "Prosit! Yes, a doctor of medicine of the army." "Ah, of the army, that is good. I also I hope, some day! And you come to pass our Gottingen examination.
The old, sweet smile was on his lips, and as he yet held the stem of the glass with a shaking hand, and suffered that I should help him, he cried in a clear voice: "Once more, Prosit, Elsie! You have waited long enough up there for your old man. And Prosit, likewise, to my dear old home, the fair city of Nuremberg." Then he took breath and added according to his wont: "Prosit, Adam!
And after me he called out "Prosit, Sir Lieutenant-Governor." I had no desire to be angry with him. I felt too sad to quarrel with any one. Henrik was indeed slaving away at the table, and the candle, burnt to the end, proved that he had been at it a long time. "Welcome, Desi," he said good humoredly. "You come late; a terrible amount of 'labor' awaits you to-morrow.
A will-o'-the-wisp! You chase it and it eludes you; you clasp it and it melts into air! There is nothing in life, I tell you, but music and work." He poured out another glass of the wine: "Here's to your health, Kapellmeister! Prosit my friend! Put those grim thoughts from your mind, and women from your heart. We must be off." He was quaffing the liquor at a gulp. "Prosit, Kapellmeister!"
"All right, my friend. Take it yourself, if you like," said Trendon. The fingers closed. Tremulously held, the little glass tilted and rattled against the teeth. There was one deep, eager spasm of swallowing. Then the fevered eyes opened upon the face of the Wolverine's first officer. "Prosit, Barnett," said the man, in a voice like the rasp of rusty metal.
After that he began to sing in a low voice, and before each fresh cup as he raised it he cried aloud "Prosit, Adam!" and when it was empty: "I Heartily thank you, Heyden!" Thus would he go on till he had drunk out divers jugs, and the tower seemed to be spinning round him.
