“Oh, yes, I remember I asked you that before. But I always ask everybody what ship they came over in, and so sometimes I forget and ask again. You going to Geneva?”
“Yes.”
“What hotel you going to stop at?”
“We expect to stop in a pension.”

“The Schweitzerhof.”
“Oh, yes. I asked you that before, too. But I always ask everybody what hotel they’re stopping at, and so I’ve got my head all mixed up with hotels. But it makes talk, and I love to talk. It refreshes me up so—don’t it you—on a trip like this?”
“Yes—sometimes.”
“Well, it does me, too. As long as I’m talking I never feel bored—ain’t that the way with you?”
