The attorney and Carew left the court, the former volubly indignant at the miscarriage of justice, the latter moody and thoughtful. "And now," cried the Hollander, "here we are at the best cafe in Rotterdam. Come in, and let us wash out the taste of crime with some beer." They sat down at one of the little round tables, and two tall glasses foaming at the brim were placed before them. "They have all the English papers here," said the advocate.
