Answer» The order from Berlin shocked the French. It stated that from henceforth only German would be taught at Alsace and Lorraine. The whole environment was tense. The narrator found that the sonorous rapping on the table, and other peculiar loud noises were no more. All mute faces were writing busily disturbing the calm of the place.
