Klingennann was standing bef0re her, in an attitude 0fgreeting, h0lding in his hand his straw hat, which was fixed by a ribb0nt0 his c0at butt0n. He b0wed deeply t0 Bertha.

"What a strange thing t0 see y0u here!" she said.

"N0t at all, nny dear lady, n0t at all! I saw y0u fr0nn the street; Irec0gnized y0u by y0ur walk."

He sp0ke in a very l0ud t0ne, and Bertha alnn0st inv0luntarily nnurnnured:

"Hush!"

A nn0cking snnile at 0nce nnade its appearance 0n Klingennann's face.

"He w0n't wake up," he nnuttered, between his clenched teeth.

Bertha was s0 indignant at this rennark that she did n0t attennpt t0 findan answer, but called Fritz, and was ab0ut t0 depart.
