noon
Old Huss -LRB- enthusiastically -RRB- : `` Wake her up , shake her up , noble young man , she is yours ! '' Wedding takes place on the spot ; bookkeeper restored to his office and emoluments ; Paul Hoch led off to jail . The Bonanza king of the Black Forest lives to a good old age , blessed with the love of his wife and of his twenty-seven children , and the still sweeter envy of everybody around . We took our noon meal of fried trout one day at the Plow Inn , in a very pretty village -LRB- Ottenhoefen -RRB- , and then went into the public room to rest and smoke . There we found nine or ten Black Forest grandees assembled around a table . They were the Common Council of the parish . They had gathered there at eight o'clock that morning to elect a new member , and they had now been drinking beer four hours at the new member 's expense .
