Colonel Platt was here, and has taken the four red cases that was in the wine-room; and he asked me for a square box, and as you had not told me of it, I said that I had never seen it. There is nothing in the stable; but don't know what is in Sam's room, as he has locked the door.
The waiter was rocking his body, wailing and holding his jaw. His companion was sitting on the floor. In the wine-room two policemen and a thick-set, black-mustached man in a derby hat were asking questions. "Robbed!" moaned Jameson. The man in the derby hat shook him roughly. "Robbed o' what, y' soak?" "Robbed!" "Mike," said the man in the derby, "put th' darbies on th' Sneak.
On the Bercy Quay he had looked at the moon floating in the clouds. For an hour he had seen it veil itself and reappear. Then he had counted the windows of houses with minute care. The rain began to fall. He had gone to the market and had drunk whiskey in a wine-room. A big girl who squinted had said to him, "You don't look happy." He had fallen half asleep on the leather bench.
At exactly five-thirty Ersten emerged from the wine-room with Kurzerhosen. "Hello, Louis!" hailed the waiting Close. "Jump into the taxi here, and I'll take you down to your train."

Shortly after this, and a few hours only after my brother's penalty had been paid into the Treasury, the two young gentlemen met in the nobles' wine-room by the Frohnwage, and von Rochow, heated by wine and heeding neither moderation nor manners, began to taunt Ursula's betrothed.

On the table stood pint bottles of sourish Moselle, over the table floated a thick mist of cigar smoke, and through the mist came voices, peevish, grating, discussing the latest event in the Army Register. The old colonel, too, was a regular patron of the wine-room, but he never came at the hour of general assembly, but later, in the afternoon. He was a man of lonely disposition.
