Then the same little man came up the room. He had short legs, was rather stout, and wore an alpaca jacket. So, with one ear up, as it were, he came stoutly and inquiringly down the room.
The innkeeper, a jovial, white-whiskered fellow, such as one rarely finds off the musical comedy stage, served us with tea with rum in it and hot bread with honey, and heaping dishes of small wild strawberries, and those pastries which the Viennese used to make in such perfection.
He dropped the ears and pulled out the body of the fox and held it up. The dogs jumped up and yelled. 'Now, he said, 'you talk very big about words of honour. Can you speak the truth?
