One is eager, quick, vehement. How his eyes dance! You can read his every thought upon his face. You know when he is going to dash down the king with a shout of triumph on the queen. His neighbour looks calm, slow, and dogged, but wears a confident expression.

g force to be obeyed. They front grim, naked Life, face to face, and wrestle with it through the darkness; and, as did the angel that strove with Jacob, it leaves its stamp upon them. There is only one type of a gentleman. There are five hundred types of men and women. That is why I always seek out and frequent the places where the common people congregate, in preference to the haunts of respectability. I have to be continually explaining all this to my friends, to account to them for what they call my love of low life. With a mug of beer before me, and a pipe in my mouth, I could sit for hours contentedly, and watch the life that ebbs and flows into and out of these old ale-kitchens. The brawny peasant lads bring in their lasses to treat them to the beloved nectar of Munich, together with a huge onion. How they enjoy themselves! What splendid jokes they have! How they laugh and roar and sing! At one table sit four old fellows, playing cards. How full of character is each gnarled face. AT AND STUDIED BUT A LIVING FORCE TO BE OBEYED THEY FRONT GRIM NAKED LIFE FACE TO FACE AND WRESTLE WITH IT THROUGH THE DARKNESS AND AS DID THE ANGEL THAT STROVE WITH JACOB IT LEAVES ITS STAMP UPON THEM THERE IS ONLY ONE TYPE OF A GENTLEMAN THERE ARE FIVE HUNDRED TYPES OF MEN AND WOMEN THAT IS WHY I ALWAYS SEEK OUT AND FREQUENT THE PLACES WHERE THE COMMON PEOPLE CONGREGATE IN PREFERENCE TO THE HAUNTS OF RESPECTABILITY I HAVE TO BE CONTINUALLY EXPLAINING ALL THIS TO MY FRIENDS TO ACCOUNT TO THEM FOR WHAT THEY CALL MY LOVE OF LOW LIFE WITH A MUG OF BEER BEFORE ME AND A PIPE IN MY MOUTH I COULD SIT FOR HOURS CONTENTEDLY AND WATCH THE LIFE THAT EBBS AND FLOWS INTO AND OUT OF THESE OLD ALE KITCHENS THE BRAWNY PEASANT LADS BRING IN THEIR LASSES TO TREAT THEM TO THE BELOVED NECTAR OF MUNICH TOGETHER WITH A HUGE ONION HOW THEY ENJOY THEMSELVES WHAT SPLENDID JOKES THEY HAVE HOW THEY LAUGH AND ROAR AND SING AT ONE TABLE SIT FOUR OLD FELLOWS PLAYING CARDS HOW FULL OF CHARACTER IS EACH GNARLED FACE
