Frequent interruptions from a large and fashionable audience* in the gallery brought the presiding officer's gavel sharply down upon the table. The floor was crowded with august Academicians.

Customers whisper, their faces impassive as possible, hygienic and illegal requests to the Happiness clerks. The clerks on such frequent occasions are embarrassed. Frankly they explain that at their counters they have only bromo seltzer, aromatic spirits of ammonia, bicarbonate of soda and epsom salts, nothing more...
