Losing a companion at a railway station

Arthur Schnitzler

Arthur Schnitzler: Tagebuch 1879–1931 — digital edition (2021) · Dated diary entry 1913-06-25; TEI body paragraph 0

Dann bin ich mit Heini, der aber auch Julius ist (ich nenne Heini oft Julius, Julius Heini) Waggon, Coupé, steige auf Zwischenstation (?) aus, Conducteur will irgend wie Trinkgeld, weil die Billets nicht ganz stimmen, 1. Klasse; aber er ist zag; das Billet lautet „X? bis Erde“. Wir steigen aus; der Controllor sieht die Billets gar nicht an; plötzlich hab ich Heini, oder Julius verloren; ich fass’ es nicht, rufe überall, in der Halle, dann seh ich hinaus, ein langer Steig setzt sich gegen den Ort zu fort, eine Dame allein geht dort. Ich rufe vergeblich. Ein Herr, mit Regenschirm, gleichfalls sehr unruhig (sieht einem Vater aus „Fannys letztem Stück“ gleich), ruft immer „Die Excellenz“― die er seinerseits verloren hat.―
