And the Sopleys are still wondering where Weejee has gone
to, and waiting for him to come back, because he is so
clever at finding his way.
But from where Weejee is, no one finds his way back.
XIV.--Sidelights on the Supermen. An Interview with
General Bernhardi.
He came into my room in that modest, Prussian way that
he has, clicking his heels together, his head very erect,
his neck tightly gripped in his forty-two centimeter
collar. He had on a Pickelhaube, or Prussian helmet,
which he removed with a sweeping gesture and laid on the
sofa.
So I knew at once that it was General Bernhardi.
In spite of his age he looked--I am bound to admit it--a
fine figure of a man. There was a splendid fullness about
his chest and shoulders, and a suggestion of rugged power
all over him. I had not heard him on the stairs. He
seemed to appear suddenly beside me.
"How did you get past the janitor?" I asked. For it was
late at night, and my room at college is three flights
up the stairs.
