Nothing of me but my eyes was visible as I walked in.

The landlady received us; two minutes later, my little friend (ever, I fear me, on the look-out for such guests as might prove amusing) made her appearance.

Dinner and the wine were ordered.

I sat down in the private room.

A minute later Fritz came in.
"She's coming," he said.
"If she were not, I should have to doubt the Countess Helga's taste." She came in.
