day I have sold not one of my sketches。 To…night you
have bought a few； because I am going away from you； but
at other times； not one。〃
〃But has not some American … ？〃
〃Ah； the rich American；〃 chuckled the artist。 〃God
be thanked。 He dash his car right into our herd of
schwines as they were being driven out to the fields。
Many of our best schwines he killed； but he paid all
damages。 He paid perhaps more than they were worth； many
times more than they would have fetched in the market
after a month of fattening； but he was in a hurry to get
on to Dantzig。
When one is in a hurry one must pay what one is
asked。 God be thanked for rich Americans； who are always
in a hurry to get somewhere else。 My father and mother；
they have now so plenty of money； they send me some to
pay my debts and come home。 I start on Monday for
Stolpmunde and I do not come back。 Never。〃
〃But your picture； the hyaenas？〃
〃No good。 It is too big to carry to Stolpmunde。 I
burn it。〃
In time he will be forgotten； but at present
Knopfschrank is almost as sore a subject as Sledonti with
some of the frequenters of the Nuremberg Restaurant； Owl
Street； Soho。
