Excerpt from Chronicles of the Schonberg-Cotta Family, Vol. 1 of 2 Fritz and I have never been separated all our lives until now. Yesterday he went to the University at Erfurt. It was when I was crying at the thought of parting with him that he told me his plan about the chronicle. He is to write one, and I another. He said it would be a help to him, as our twilight talk has been when always, ever since I can remember, we two have crept away in summer into the garden, under the great pear-tree, and in winter into the deep window of the lumber-room inside my father's printing room, where the bales of paper are kept, and old books are piled up, among which we used to make ourselves a seat.
