EXPLORING THE ENGLISH

SEASIDE.

(Continued from. Page 1.)

This is all the more deplorable. as this town, with its modern hotel "accommodation and the natural. beauty of its situation, is a resort which, with a little imagination and enterprise, could be made most' attractive to the foreign tourist..

My reception at the first big hotel | I entered was typical of East- bourne's universal apathy.

Sorry!`

•

“Haben sie ein Zimmer mit Bed frei?" I asked the reception clerk.” He stared at mo with fascinated eyes: "I b-beg your parden," k stammered.

I repeated my question. He called the manager. The maanger come, and beard my question.

"We do not speak German at this hotel," he said.

It was much the same at the next three hotels which I visited..

"Sorry, sir," the porter would say after an interval of enquiry, "there is no one here who speaks German."

It never occurred to them to try French, although it is by no means improbable that a German who speaks to English would have a smattering of French. A poten- tial customer was therefore lost.

At one hotel "I waited for seven minutes at the reception-desk until a foreign porter appeared who spoke German and interpreted for me. The price asked, however, was, I thought, incommensurate with the modesty of the establishment's linguistis attainment and I decided to look further.

I was rewarded by finding the most up-to-date hotel I have yet stayed in during my present trip. The reception-clerks, as usual, were entirely ignorant of foreign languages. The hotel porter and the head waiter, however, leapt to their assistance with French, and the situation was saved.

At lunch I was served by an ́ex- German waiter from Nuremberg who had become a naturalised Englishman. The language pro- blem as far as this hotel was cón- cerned was solved.

In the afternoon I ventured out to the pier, where the only bright spot was a grinning ex-sergeant who, in French, persuaded me to try a game of skee ball.. "Neuf balls pour sixpense," he said, and demonstrated the numbers on his ingers.

I played skee-ball gratefully, and then went to take ten in the famous Wannock Gardens.

She Understood.

My order for "Chinesischen ter und Butter brot," was promptly carried out by a waitress who understood me somehow, although she did not speak a word of Ger-

man.

wares.

"Was haben sie da?" I asked a saleswoman, in a Polly Peachum dress, who was offering me ber "Lavender," she replied, and tried to explain, to me that she understood. German, although she had forgotten how to speak it. She had lived many years in Germany.

"Ist hier der Eingang zum Japanischen Garten?" I next ask- 'ed an attractive young woman in a kimono sitting at, the entrance to the Japanese garden. She almost fell on my neck with delight.

"Sie sprechen Deutsch!" she cried out, and could hardly recover sufficient compoture to collect my twopence I was rather surprised, too-she spoke such excellent German.

There was a good reason for this, however, I soon discovered. Miss Herzfeld happened to ba, a Ger-

man.

The real triumph came in the aviary. I knocked absent-minded- ly on a parrot cage. Eastbourne's only true linguist answered. Hercia," he crowed.

A grey West African parrot, who had once belonged to a German waiter, had spoken the magic word to hear which I had vainly toured a-multitude of boteds.

He had, said Come in!
