The family had lived in successive ebullitions of generous enthusiasm, in talk of masters and masterpieces, only to come down to the cold facts in the case; to boiled mutton and to the necessity of turning the dining-room carpet.

There is a feeling that the Germans really must after all be a splendid people to provide such magnificent pyrotechnics. Some people in London the other day were pretending to be shocked by an American who boasted that he had been in "two bully bombardments," but he was only saying what everyone feels more or less. We are at a spectacle that as a spectacle our grandchildren will envy.
We could make some very good pyrotechnics there, so we determined to give the Indians a scare. But it didn't work. We had an arc there of a most terrifying character, but they never moved a muscle." Another episode at Goerck Street did not find the visitors quite so stoical.
