M. Warburg & Co; Dorner and the other employees were very touched; they drank 11 bottles of champaign; cake was served; mentions how the old servant [Richard] Hamann enjoyed drinking champaign; Moritz had cut out the 'Othello' quote and carried it in his notebook for thirty years because it had always been important to him 'to keep the name unblemished' |
