...front of the butcher shop, Marie Drazdorf, maid-of-all-work, paid not the slightest heed to the growing procession. She must get the shutters hung up and the doorstep scrubbed before suppertime. Then there would be coals to carry, and the dishes, the pots, the. . . Ach! Will busybodies never let a woman finish her work? What would this fat burgomaster be looking at her for? "Good evening, Mr. Burgomaster." ... Eh ? He was bowing? The burgomaster bowing at Marie Drazdorf, the butcher's drudge girl? At Marie Drazdorf, with a five-year-old son and a man too poor...
...these foxes of bandsmen. "The Blue Danube" at nine o'clock. A glass of beer and a dollar bill. Then around the block. At half past nine, "Die Wacht am Rhein." Another bill, another glass.

Swimmer Radowich saw the shark too, but paid no heed. He had enough to think about, for placid though the waters looked, they were full of treacherous tide-rips and cold eddies which dragged him about like a chip. It was the rips and eddies, not the idle shark, that made John Radowich signal to be lifted out, after three hours...
