Fraulein Thekla , the professor 's elder daughter , was engaged to a man in England who had spent twelve months in the house to learn German , and their marriage was to take place at the end of the year . This objective is carried out in the program by emphasizing the development and integration of the broad-based , functional business knowledge needed to advance an individual 's management career . They had sat opposite one another at supper , but Philip was chattering busily with Fraulein Hedwig , and the stranger , knowing no German , had eaten his food in silence . Because of this tendency to fall over when drunk , the goldfish is a good model for research on the effects of alcohol . It was a strange life , dark and tortured , in which men and women showed to remorseless eyes the evil that was in their hearts : a fair face concealed a depraved mind ; the virtuous used virtue as a mask to hide their secret vice , the seeming-strong fainted within with their weakness ; the honest were corrupt , the chaste were lewd . With his vivid fancy he seemed to see the surging throng round the pit-door of theatres , and the glitter of cheap restaurants , bars where men , half drunk , sat on high stools talking with barmaids ; and under the street lamps the mysterious passing of dark crowds bent upon pleasure . After fighting on the 20th and 21st , our troops entered Wilmington on the morning of the 22d , the enemy having retreated toward Goldsborough during the night . There were two or three American men , in black coats , rather yellow and dry of skin : they were theological students ; Philip heard the twang of their New England accent through their bad German , and he glanced at them with suspicion ; for he had been taught to look upon Americans as wild and desperate barbarians . They sat on a bench , the three of them , for the others had gone on , and while the girls talked in rapid German , Philip , indifferent to their proximity , feasted his eyes . When preliminary studies in 1968 and 1969 indicated that goldfish tended to forget things when drunk , and that Siamese fighting fish became more aggressive after a little drink or two , their attraction as experimental animals became irresistable . Philip and Hayward went to it two or three times a week with the praiseworthy intention of improving their German , and Philip found it a more diverting manner of perfecting himself in the language than listening to sermons .
