At another table sit three mysterious foreign visitors, the "Prince", the "General", and the "King".The proprietors, Mrs and Mr Weisz, do their best to accommodate these guests. A rooster is hypnotized by the Captain, a Porter fetches a bottle of kosher brandy, an insolent Barber is ostracized by the assembled company, and an itinerant Vendor is relieved of his wares. Nothing much happens, and everything happens: The World Goes On... Krúdy's art consists of observing, noting, and annotating these seemingly trivial occurrences, and arranging them into a composition that compares in scope and texture the corresponding chapters of Joyce's Ulysses.
