sken. Kaptajnen var i Galla: han kom fra en Forening, hvor han havde
holdt patriotisk og populaert Foredrag om: "Vore tusindaarige
slesvigske Valpladsen".

Endelig kom Vogntoget i Gang igen, og Kaptajnen tog Hovedet til sig.

Paa Fortovene drog Strommen stadig forbi og trallede:

Ja--kun det Kys aegte blir, som Elskov Elskov gir, hvor Laebe bringer
Laebe Bud om Flammer, taendt af Elskovs Gud--som Elskov Elskov gir.

De to gamle Damer stod i Vinduet. De saa' ret mismodigt ned paa
Svaermen.

-Ja, sagde Konferentsraadinden ind i Fru Knudsens Ore: Hvor Livet er
underligt, du....

-Ja, nikkede den dove med sit maerkelige, bestandig uforstaaende
Udtryk: Underligt.

De to Damer gik tilbage og lukkede Vinduet.

... Svaermen dernede var borte. Den skyllede ned gennem Ostergade ud
paa Kongens Nytorv og skiltes.

Og lidt efter lidt blev der stille i alle Gader og i alle Gyder.

Kun en enkelt Fodgaenger gled forbi "Hesten", hvor Banditerne blundede
paa Baenkene. De vaagnede og stirrede ud paa Fodgaengeren gennem Morket.

Saa faldt de hen igen.

--Men Decembernatten taetnede kun Taagen, der laa over Staden
Kobenhavn.
