Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Buchholz Family: Second Part, Sketches of Berlin Life As long as my daughter Emmi was still unmarried, I did believe that she might become happy with the man who, according to my idea, Providence had selected for her. But now I think the contrary, and can only suppose that human life develops as many varieties as the balsams we sow in flower-pots. We fancy that only well-developed, rosy-red blossoms will come up; but when they do appear, some of the flowers are of a most ordinary shade of violet, others are red, but single; whereas not more than two or three show blossoms of the kind described in the catalogue. Some do not come up at all, or if they do, the buds drop off before opening. Or is it that good fortune is not big enough for every one to have a slice, such as I and my Carl have had? Why is it that we are happy and content? Because Carl would most assuredly have had the highest respect for his mother-in-law, had it not been that she died before our marriage. I could swear that Carl would have acted very differently towards her from what Dr. Wrenzchen does towards me.
