B. and I very nearly had an accident one warm night, owing to our ignorance of this custom. Each time after we had swallowed the quart, we left the pot, standing before us with the cover up, and each time it was, in consequence, taken away, and brought back to us, brimming full again.

ring 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. 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.
