seppe to find Craxi and Borth.
Major Joppolo said sharply:
“ Borth. behave yourself."
When the Major spoke so angrily,
fat Craxi tiptoed out of the room,
and Giuseppe followed him to keep
an eye on him.
The Major and Borth were alone.
The Major spoke again: “ Behave
yourself or go home.”
Borth was drunk because of the
Major. He had never been drunk in
uniform before. But when the Ma
jor spoke so angrily, that streak of
contrariness in Borth which made
him tease people so much, which
made him always laugh at serious
people and deflate pompous ones.
