'Why, you see, it was this way, officer,' the senator explained. 'I tried to separate them. Tried to make them quit fighting. And one of them hit me.'
The policeman chuckled. 'Peacemaker, eh?' he said.
The senator nodded, miserably.
The officer turned his attention toward Gramp and Jurg Tec. 'Fighting the war over again,' he said.
'Can't you fellows forget it? The war was over forty years ago.'
'He insulted me,' Jurg Tec squeaked.
'Sure, I know,' said the officer, 'and you were insulted pretty easy.'
'Listen, here, officer,' said the senator. 'If I take these two boys and promise you they won't make any more disturbance, will you just forget about this?'
The big policeman looked at the little policeman.
'Who are you?' the little policeman asked.
