John smacked his lips in affected delight.
"It is very good," he said. "Your lager is always good, Mrs. Winterhammer."
"So!" replied the good woman.
"That's so!" repeated John.
"Then perhaps you comes again," said the frau, with an eye to business.
"Oh, yes; I'll be sure to come again," said John, with a tender significance which was quite lost upon the matter-of-fact lady.
"And you bring your friends, too," she suggested.
"Yes; I will bring my friends."
"Dat is good," said Mrs. Winterhammer, in a satisfied tone.
Having no excuse for stopping longer the two friends went out.
