Excerpt: ...officer, you call it. Well and good. I tell you our officers talk all the time of nothing else! And they don't care who hears them!" The Jew gave Fred his bill, scrawled on a piece of wrapping paper. Schubert snatched it away and crumpled it into a ball. "Kreutzblitzen! You are my guests to-night! I invited you!"

"You alone?" "No, we all stay. All or none!" Schubert made a contemptuous gesture with his thumb toward Brown, who had fallen dead drunk on the floor. "Will that one stay, too?"
