On one wall was a lovely gold-framed picture in which a young woman of great beauty held back a sumptuous curtain revealing a castle on the Rhine set above a sunny terrace of grapevines.

On the opposite wall was a richly coloured picture of a superb brewery.

It was many stories in height; smoke issued from its chimneys, and before it stood a large truck to which were hitched two splendid horses.

The truck was being loaded with the brewery's enlivening product.

The brewery was red, the truck yellow, the horses gray, and the workmen were clad in blue, and above all was a flawless sky of blue.
