"Will you bring me a tankard of brown Ehrensteiner ?" "At once, Herr." Carmichael made his way to the table.

He had crowded him against a wall two or three days before.
"This seat is not reserved, Herr ?" he asked pleasantly, with his hand on the back of the chair.
"No." There was no cordiality in the answer.
