So then I went back to Dorothy and I told Dorothy if she did not have
anything to say in the future to not say it. Because even if Mr.
Spoffard is a fine old family and even if he is very Prespyterian, I
and he could really be friendly after all and talk together quite a
lot. I mean Mr. Spoffard likes to talk about himself quite a lot, so I
said to Dorothy it really shows that, after all, he is just like any
other gentleman. But Dorothy said she would demand more proof than
that. So Dorothy says she thinks that maybe I might become quite
friendly with Mr. Spoffard and especially with his mother because she
thinks his mother and I have quite a lot that is common, but she says,
if I ever bump into Miss Chapman, she thinks I will come to a kropper
because Dorothy saw Miss Chapman when she was at luncheon and Dorothy
says Miss Chapman is the kind of a girl that wears a collar and a tie
even when she is not on horseback. And Dorothy said it was the look
that Miss Chapman gave her at luncheon that really gave her the idea
about the ice man. So Dorothy says she thinks Miss Chapman has got 3
thirds of the brains of that trio of Geegans, because Geegans is the
slang word that Dorothy has thought up to use on people who are society
people. Because Dorothy says she thinks any gentleman with Mr.
Spoffards brains had ought to spend his time putting nickels into an
electric piano, but I did not even bother to talk back at such a girl
as Dorothy. So now we must get ready to get off the train when the
train gets to Munich so that we can look at all of the kunst in Munich.
May 19th:
Well yesterday Mr. Spoffard and I and Dorothy got off the train at
Munich to see all of the kunst in Munich, but you only call it Munich
when you are on the train because as soon as you get off of the train
they seem to call it Munchen. So you really would know that Munchen was
full of kunst because in case you would not know it, they have painted
the word “kunst” in large size black letters on everything in Munchen,
and you can not even see a boot black’s stand in Munchen that is not
full of kunst.
