Three Men on the Bummel

CHAPTER IX
10/35

He turned his pockets out, and offered the man all he had, which was about eightpence in German money.

He offered to go into a third class, but there was no third class.

(b) Loitering about corridor.

(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.
Reflecting upon the case and frequency with which one gets into trouble here in Germany, one is led to the conclusion that this country would come as a boon and a blessing to the average young Englishman.
