Excerpt from The Hoot of the Owl
Worshipful Sire: I stand here as the representative of the German Pfeifen Club, and have to correct a slight error that introduced itself into the address delivered by your Worship. It is not to announce the subjugation of the Pfeifen Club that I appear before you. I am not a hostage; I am an ambassador of a kindred organization. The object of our institutions is the same; our organizations follow a parallel course. The object of both is charity. Not that charity which sends ice-cream to the Greenlanders and skates to the people on the sources of old Nile; no, true charity begins at home. And where are we more at home than inside our own stomachs?
