It was beyond doubt that the man was very\u003cbr\u003eill. He could only move slowly and it was touching to see the care with\u003cbr\u003ewhich his little companion tried to make herself useful to him. He\u003cbr\u003esupported himself with his right hand on a stout stick, and rested his\u003cbr\u003eleft upon the shoulder of the child at his side, and one could see that he\u003cbr\u003eneeded the assistance of both. From time to time he would lift his left\u003cbr\u003ehand and say gently,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Tell me, my child, if I press too heavily upon you.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstantly, however, the child would catch his hand and press it down\u003cbr\u003eagain, assuring him,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"No, no, certainly not, Papa, lean upon me still more: I do not even\u003cbr\u003enotice it at all.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter they had walked back and forth for a while, they seated themselves\u003cbr\u003eupon one of the benches that were placed at convenient distances under the\u003cbr\u003etrees, and rested a little.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe sick man was Major Falk, who had been in Karlsruhe only a short time.\u003cbr\u003eHe lived before that in Hamburg with his daughter Dora, whose mother died\u003cbr\u003esoon after the little girl came into the world, so that Dora had never\u003cbr\u003eknown any parent but her father. Naturally, therefore, the child's whole\u003cbr\u003eaffection was centred upon Major Falk, who had always devoted himself to\u003cbr\u003ehis little motherless girl with such tenderness that she had scarcely felt\u003cbr\u003ethe want of a mother, until the war with France broke out, and he was\u003cbr\u003eobliged to go with the Army. He was away for a long time, and when at last\u003cbr\u003ehe returned, it was with a dangerous wound in his breast. The Major had no\u003cbr\u003enear relatives in Hamburg, and he therefore lived a very retired life with\u003cbr\u003ehis little daughter as his only companion, but in Karlsruhe he had an\u003cbr\u003eelder half-sister, married to a literary man, Mr. Titus Ehrenreich.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47070027481328,"sku":"2940013480599","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013480599_p0.jpg?v=1763581951","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013480599","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
