        The customers of the inn take offense to Armand's slur of the
sandwich.  Except for Mitzi who is stricken with Armand's good looks.
Wilks attempts to settle the crowd down by explaining that the Earl of
Sandwich is now in disrepute in England due to his sexual indiscretions.

vw#83: consubstantiation - The doctrine, proposed by Martin Luther, that
the substance of the body and blood of Jesus coexists with the substance
of the bread and wine in the Eucharist.

        Squire Haligast expounds upon the irony of the connection of
sandwich to the eucharist.

        The next morning Luise is pleasantly surprised to find that the
meal is exceedingly appetizing. Mr. Edgewise introduces her to the chef
Armand Alegre, who is described as diminutive and athletic.

        Frau Redzinger asks Armand how he made the croissant and he
offers to demonstrate. As he is making the croissant, Armand reveals he
is in exile, tormented by an inhuman pursuer. Mitzi Redzinger is dazed
in the presence of the chef.
