He offered to go into a third class, but there was no third class. He offered to go into the goods van, but they would not hear of it.) Fourth sin: (a) Occupying seat, and not paying for same. (As they would not let him sit down without paying, and as he could not pay, it was difficult to see what else he could do.) But explanations are held as no excuse in Germany; and his journey from Carlsruhe to Baden was one of the most expensive perhaps on record. |
