Selbst der säuerlich schlechte Kaffee, mit der allerorten im Harz als Sahne geltenden häßlichen Milchhaut, erwies sich außerstande, diese gute Laune zu verscheuchen, und bestimmte sie nur, behufs leidlicher Balancierung des Übels, um Sodawasser zu bitten, was freilich, weil es multrig war, seines Zweckes ebenfalls verfehlte.
