Excerpt from A Round Table of the Representative German Catholic Novelists at Which Is Served a Feast of Excellent Stories
A telegram from an overkind officer friend brought me back to the city abruptly from a trip to my old home in May of last year. To be sure, my furlough was not up for another week, but the news of the transfer of the major and the retirement of the colonel of the regiment in which I was surgeon-major made the stay at the country-seat of my brother-in-law seem tedious. I was filled with the desire to be present myself at these far-reach ing changes.
SO I bade my brother and his wife, my nephews and my nieces farewell early the next morning. They all seemed very sorry to see the bachelor uncle go.
