The earliest glimpses which we get of these remarkable men suggest certain permanent characteristics: Frick is pictured as the sober, industrious bookkeeper in his grandfather's distillery; Schwab as the rollicking, whistling driver of a stage between Loretto and Cresson.

我们对这些非凡人物的最早一瞥暗示了某些永久的特征：弗里克被描绘成他祖父酿酒厂中清醒、勤奋的簿记员；施瓦布作为洛雷托和克雷松之间舞台上欢快、吹口哨的司机。
