varied by more than five minutes
year. Great, old-fashioned GRANDPA
Tiers clocks they were, and because
the modern fashion is for cheap and
gaudy things, he sold only to few
old-fashioned customers, and his whole
stock was stored in the small ware
house and workshop at the back of hii

the business to his successors-yes, he

And he had driven Ernst, his only
son, his only child, out OF his homs

Walsers, and with his action he hat
effectively cut himself off from all the
generations that were to come. How
foolish his quarrel had been!
was about girl whom Ernst wantet
to marry, and because he had not tolt
taken unbrage.
