But at any rate I was going to try.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt Zevenaar, while the Dutch customs officials were examining my\u003cbr\u003ebaggage, I patronised the youth selling apple cakes and coffee, for\u003cbr\u003eafter several months' absence from Germany my imagination had been\u003cbr\u003ekindled to contemplate living uncomfortably on short rations for\u003cbr\u003esome time as the least of my troubles.  Furthermore, the editorial\u003cbr\u003eopinion vouchsafed in the Dutch newspaper which I had bought at\u003cbr\u003eArnhem was that Austria's reply to the \"Ancona\" Note made a break\u003cbr\u003ewith America almost a certainty.  Consequently as the train rolled\u003cbr\u003eover the few remaining miles to the frontier I crammed down my\u003cbr\u003eapple cakes, resolved to face the unknown on a full stomach.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wheels ground under the brakes, I pulled down the window with a\u003cbr\u003ebang and looked out no longer upon the soft rolled military cap of\u003cbr\u003eHolland but upon the business-like spiked helmet of Germany.  I\u003cbr\u003esteeled myself.  There was no backing out now.  I had crossed the\u003cbr\u003eGerman frontier.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe few passengers filed into the customs room, where a corps of\u003cbr\u003eskilled mechanics prised open the contents of bags and trunks.\u003cbr\u003eEach man was an expert in his profession.  A hand plunged into one\u003cbr\u003eof my bags and emerged with several bars of chocolate, the wrappers\u003cbr\u003eof which were shorn off before the chocolate was well out of the\u003cbr\u003ebag.  A bottle of liniment, the brand that made us forget our\u003cbr\u003esprains and bruises in college days, was brought to light, and with\u003cbr\u003ecommendable dexterity the innocent label was removed in a twinkling\u003cbr\u003ewith a specially constructed piece of steel.  The label had a\u003cbr\u003epicture of a man with a very extensive moustache--the man who had\u003cbr\u003emade the liniment famous, or _vice versa_--but the trade name and\u003cbr\u003eproprietor must go unsung in the Fatherland, for the Government has\u003cbr\u003edecreed that travellers entering Germany may bring only three\u003cbr\u003ethings containing printed matter, viz.: railroad tickets, money and\u003cbr\u003epassports.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen the baggage squad had finished its task and replaced all\u003cbr\u003eunsuspected articles, the bags were sealed and sent on to await the\u003cbr\u003eowner, whose real troubles now began.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47147513676016,"sku":"2940013335844","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013335844_p0.jpg?v=1763579604","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013335844","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
