"I don't know. Is there more than one?"
"Three. You stop at the Schreiber—you'll find it full of Americans. What ship did you say you came over in?"
"CITY OF ANTWERP."
"German, I guess. You going to Geneva?"
"Yes."
"What hotel you going to stop at?"
"Hôtel de l'Écu de Génève."
"Don't you do it! No Americans there! You stop at one of those big hotels over the bridge—they're packed full of Americans."
"But I want to practice my Arabic."
"Good gracious, do you speak Arabic?"
