The Major

CHAPTER XI
30/46

Thereupon reappears the Teuton, ecstatic and triumphant, bearing with him a huge sausage, which he proceeds to devour with mingled lamentations over his departed "hund" and raptures over its metamorphosed condition.

In the midst of this mingled lamentation and rapture is heard in the distance upon a mouth organ band the sound of the German national air.

The Teuton is startled, drops his sausage upon the stage and exclaiming "Der Kronprinz," hastily beats a retreat.
At the mention of this august name Switzer disappears from the rear of the audience and makes his way to the back of the stage.

In the meantime, to the accompaniment of organs and drums, appears upon the stage no less a personage than "der Kronprinz," to the reproduction of whose features Sam's peculiar facial appearance admirably lends itself.
From this point the action proceeds with increased rapidity.

No sooner had "der Kronprinz," who is also in a famished condition, appeared upon the stage than his eyes light upon the sausage.
