My Very Dear
Baron Muck-Driver
Je vous suis
bien oblige pour votre faiblesse de vos yeux. [referring to Beethoven's
earlier composition WoO32 'duet with two obbligato pairs of spectacles']
- By the way, I refuse in future to allow the good humour, in
which I sometimes find myself, to be destroyed. For yesterday
thanks to your Zmeskall-Domanoveczian gabble I became quite melancholy.
The devil take you, I refuse to hear anything about your whole
moral outlook. Power is the moral principle of those who excel
others, and it is also mine; and if you start off again today
on the same lines, I will thoroughly pester you until you consider
everything I do to be good and praiseworthy. (For I am coming
to the Schwan, although indeed I should prefer to go to the Ochs.
But that depends on your Zeskallian Domanoveczian decision). (Response).
Adieu Baron Ba . . . . . ron ron/nor/orn/rno/onr/ (Voilà
quelque chose out of the old pawnshop).
