'Halberdiers goes with Rindsloshes, says he, 'just as rats goes with rathskellers and white cotton stockings with Tyrolean villages. The boss is a kind of a antiologist, and is all posted up on data and such information. "From 8 P.M. to two in the morning was the halberdier's hours. He got two meals with us help and a dollar a night. I eat with him at the table. He liked me.
Having arranged my room to my satisfaction, I gave myself up to the intoxication of despair. I probed my heart to the bottom in order to sound its depths. A Tyrolean song that my loved one used to sing began to run through my head: Altra volta gieri biele, Blanch' a rossa com' un flore, Ma ora no. Non son piu biele Consumatis dal' amore.
