If ever you visit a German beer hall or garden  to study character or anything of that kind  be careful, when you have finished drinking your beer, to shut the cover of the mug down tight. If you leave it with the cover standing open, that is taken as a sign that you want more beer, and the girl snatches it away and brings it back refilled.

. I know of no modern European composer so difficult to eat beefsteak to as Wagner. That we did not choke ourselves is a miracle. Wagner's orchestration is most trying to follow. We had to give up all idea of mustard. B. tried to eat a bit of bread with his steak, and got most hopelessly out of tune. I am afraid I was a little flat myself during the "Valkyries' Ride." My steak was rather underdone, and I could not work it quickly enough. After getting outside hard beefsteak to Wagner, putting away potato salad to the garden music out of _Faust_ was comparatively simple. Once or twice a slice of potato stuck in our throat during a very high note, but, on the whole, our rendering was fairly artistic. We rattled off a sweet omelette to a symphony in G--or F, or else K; I won't be positive as to the precise letter; but it was something in the alphabet, I know--and bolted our cheese to the ballet music from _Carmen_. After which we rolled about in agonies to all the national airs of Europe.
