At one or half-past takes place his chief dinner.

Of this he makes a business, sitting at it for a couple of hours.

At four o'clock he goes to the cafe, and eats cakes and drinks chocolate.

The evening he devotes to eating generally--not a set meal, or rarely, but a series of snacks,--a bottle of beer and a Belegete-semmel or two at seven, say; another bottle of beer and an Aufschnitt at the theatre between the acts; a small bottle of white wine and a Spiegeleier before going home; then a piece of cheese or sausage, washed down by more beer, previous to turning in for the night.
But he is no gourmet.

French cooks and French prices are not the rule at his restaurant.
