Trast! don't hurt me. See, I owe everything to you. When I heard your name then--the name of Trast and Company that is known from Yokohama to Aden, I felt as though I were standing before the Kaiser himself! (Trast: Kaiser, by the grace of coffee!) Muhlingk's undertaking in Batavia was on the road to ruin that minute. (Trast: No wonder, when it had the worst good-for-nothing in the Archipelago for its head.) There was nothing ahead of me but failure and discharge. And then you took the poor home-sick clerk under your pinion, your name opened a hundred doors for me and I grew up into manhood under your care! And Herr Benno Muhlingk led his merry life as he pleased, and I ran the entire business.
