Excerpt: ...Uncle Braun laughed heartily at the different expressions upon the countenances of the three boys. I am much older than our little man, Fritz, and I must say that I would be tempted to strike a bargain with somebody if every penny was stolen from me. Now in such a predicament, I think we should help each other, so I will give Fritz five nickels to put in his empty pocket which will at least make a jingle. No, no, I will not take them! cried Fritz, flushing warmly, I am ashamed of myself.

Then the father was born in Frankfort? remarked Paul. Yes. Mayer Anselm Rothschild was born in Frankfort in the year 1743, and died here in 1812. Then he was six years older than Goethe, commented Paul. Yes, they were great men in their different lines, and were contemporaries; that is, they lived at the same time.

[.]was reading in school; and they then and there decided to take the names of their favorite Greek heroes. "I will be Odysseus," said Fritz. "I will be Achilles," responded Franz. "And I," said Paul after due reflection, "will be Patroclus." "And let us call that fellow that fought us a Trojan," suggested Franz. "Agreed," cried Fritz. "Let us call all of our enemies Trojans."[.]".
