Whether you're really a barber, or whether you're just amusing yourself with me, we want to have one thing understood. I came here, sir, as a matter of courtesy to you, and you will have to treat me with just as much courtesy. Otherwise, I shall wish you good-morning." This was said with a flash of the eye which warned Radberg that, in his rather overbearing way, he was going too for.
Then, leaning forward once more, and speaking in his most impressive voice, Herr Professor Radberg continued: "Herr Benson, we are going to take you into the German Navy!"

"Oh, Herr Ulwin," he asked, "can you oblige me by excusing Herr Benson for a moment or two? And will you come with me, Herr Benson, to meet a friend who wishes to shake your hand?"

Not so loud," warned Radberg, looking suspiciously around. "There's nothing we have to keep quiet about," Hal went on. "You have already spoken to our captain, Jack Benson, about this matter." "Ach!

"Come to the other room, Herr Benson," directed the Professor.
