About this book
A quarrel between schoolboys draws three watchers to the windows of a quiet wine-room in an old town. Among them are a man training for a legal career and a retired colonel whose interest in the smaller boys becomes unusually keen. When a younger brother rushes to help his companion, the colonel follows every move and openly applauds his courage.
Ernst von Wildenbruch places these small encounters beside the pressures of life in a cadet corps. A prized patent-leather belt disappears from a shared dormitory, casting suspicion over a group accustomed to trusting its own members. Its unexpected return by a trembling boy leaves questions about loyalty and responsibility. The contrast between public bravery and private distress gives this fiction its particular interest for readers drawn to school life, military customs and the judgments adults make about children.
