"Oh, yes. Ma!" (5) I've been studying English, too! I'm awfully cultured.--Oh, what I've learned! (Heinecke: Yes sir! D'ye see!) And above all--we only live once--have a good time, that's the main thing! Are you happy, too, brother? (Robert: Certainly, when I have reason to be.) The great art is to be happy without any reason. Why are we young? Oh, it's good to live! Every day something new!--And Berlin is so lovely! You know--the Linden!--and the electric light! Have you seen it yet? That's what I like the best of all. Everybody is so pretty and pale, so interesting!--And the restaurants have all got electric lights now, too. Grand!--I saw a chandelier in a cafe in the Donhoffplatz--it was a great big wreath of flowers and every flower had a light in it!
