At this Reimers could not help laughing, and his "Hold your tongue," did not sound to Gähler particularly angry. But if Count Vocking possessed fewer books than the lieutenant, he apparently surpassed him greatly in other respects. As Gähler was arranging the washhand stand, he remarked: "The count had lots of little boxes and bottles, with real silver tops."
"Well, with me you will not be led into temptation." Gähler modestly demurred: "I beg your pardon, sir; but in that case it was really not at all my fault." The lieutenant laughed. "Oh, all right!" he said; "but before that, where were you?" The gunner drew himself up proudly, and replied with dignity: "I was groom to Count Vocking, in Dresden." "Aha, that accounts for it!"
And when he fetched Reimers some sandwiches and a glass of beer for lunch from the kitchen on the ground floor, he informed his master, "The count had his own kitchen, and used to drink Burgundy at lunch." And here another result of his training in the Vocking household came to light.
