Chapter I
While rehearsing the Gemüsesang from the third act of
Stacheldraht's Die Dicke Küh, Mademoiselle Dinde
discovered a gloriously blooming poinsetta in her private
chambers.
"My, what a gloriously blooming poinsetta," said
Madamoiselle Dinde. "I do wish it would stop raining."
"And I wonder who would take a care to send such a
gloriously blooming poinsetta," she added.
Also, it was 1879.
