Each of these beverages can be " "Delicious, delicious," said Mrs. Wangelbecker, enveloping Anna-Felicitas in her smile. "The frothed chocolate is very delicious," said Anna-Felicitas with a kind of grave nervousness.
"Oh I beg your pardon," said Anna-Felicitas, blushing and moving hastily towards a table laid for three. "Ah that's better," said Mr. Wangelbecker, following closely on her heels.

They took no notice of the signals of lateness, the lights turned on, the stars outside growing bright in the surrounding blackness. Mr. Twist watched angrily. He had been driven into his office by the disconcerting and incomprehensible overtures of Mr. Wangelbecker, and had sat there watching in growing exasperation ever since.
