Of the great change in Moll, and the likely explanation thereof.

Through some rare oversight there was no Kamerad on hand, whereupon the man with the reddish hair followed us with the pathetically feeble-explanation that he, too, had made the same mistake.

Whereupon Geissler added something, presumably an explanation, and the man he had brought with him signed as a witness.

In a word, I have no explanation whatsoever to give; as I am not minded to fall back on the medieval one, that the devil must have brought them thither, to plague the inhabitants for their sins.
