Banker:—“If architecture is said to be frozen music, what would you call a Sennhütte?” (a hut on the Alps).

Cheap Pleasure
A:—“I can’t understand why people always complain about mountain excursions being so expensive. I just took a two days’ trip again, and except for a bowl of milk, I didn’t spend a cent.”
B:—“What are you giving me, why you must have starved!”
A:—“Why of course not. I had a cold roast goose, a dozen hard-boiled eggs, a piece of ham, and two bottles of wine, with me. You don’t starve on that!”
