I could not catch what the man said to the horse, he spoke quickly and excitedly; but I gathered a few phrases, such as: "Got to earn my living somehow, haven't I? I think what he said was: "Come on then; don't talk so much. Let's get the job over, and, where possible, let's keep to the back streets." Opposite the Brandenburger Thor our driver hitched the reins to the whip, climbed down, and came round to explain things to us. He pointed out the Thiergarten, and then descanted to us of the Reichstag House. |
