On their way homeward, Flemming and the Baron1 passed through a narrow lane, in which was a well-known Studenten-Kneipe. At the door stood a young man, whom the Baron at once recognised as his friend Von Kleist.

What he would have thought if he had peeped into this Heidelberg Studenten-Kneipe, I know not. He certainly would not have thought himself in heaven; unless it were a Scandinavian heaven. The windows were open; and yet so dense4 was the atmosphere with the smoke of tobacco, and the fumes5 of beer, that the tallow candles burnt but dimly. A crowd of students were sitting at three long tables, in the large hall; a medley6 of fellows, known at German Universities under the cant7 names of Old-Ones, Mossy-Heads, Princes of
