Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Karen ´I am going to Germany´ I said, looking up from my letters. ´What for?´ said Dad. He never wasted words. ´Eugenie Gutheim is going to be married and wants me to come to her wedding. I promised her I would if she won her bet.´ Dad and I were sitting opposite to each other in our flat in Sloane Gardens. It was the end of April 1913 and I had various engagements for the month of May. But when Eugenie´s letter came, I decided as I read it that I would throw them all to the winds and go to Reichenstadt. I was accustomed to see Dad fly off to the ends of the earth at a few hours´ notice and not appear again for months: but I had never been with him. In fact I had never been abroad. Mother had been an invalid for some time before her death two years ago and unable to travel: and while I was at school I spent the holidays at English seaside places or at home. It was time for me to see a foreign country and enlarge my mind. I had to decide such things for myself because Dad had other things to think of, and even when he talked to me had an absent look in his eyes and an appearance of fixing his thoughts with difficulty on my trivial affairs. ´I am going to Germany, Dad,´ I said again, for he was opening his Times and would, I knew, be immersed in it in another moment.
