Rosmer.
And what do you say to things to-day?
Kroll.
It will be a long story, Rosmer. Let me begin with a sort of introduction. I can give you news of Ulric Brendel.
Rosmer.
Has he called on you?
Kroll.
No. He took up his quarters in a low public-house—in the lowest company of course—and drank and stood treat as long as he had any money. Then he began abusing the whole company as a set of disreputable blackguards—and so far he was quite right—whereupon they thrashed him and pitched him out into the gutter.
Rosmer.
So he is incorrigible after all.
