prisidint will meet him at th' dock an' he will be threated to wan
continyous round iv schutzenfists, turnd'yeminds, sangerbunds,
katzenjammers, skats, an' other German fistivals. Th' aristocracy
iv New York is practicin' Dutch an' th' Waldorf-Astorya will be

get our heads knocked off if we go into a fight. Good-bye, mein
frind.' An' whin ye'd shut th' dure on him, ye'd say: 'Well, what
d'ye think iv that?'"
