Chapter XIII
Ginzburg understands the meaning of her question and is silent, because he is afraid to say anything in reply. It seems to me that parents who have buried their first-born can never be really happy again. So Dvorehle's first birthday was allowed to pass as it were unnoticed. When it came to her second, it was nearly the same thing, only Dobe said, "Ginzburg, when our daughter is three years old, then we will have great rejoicings!" They waited for the day with trembling hearts.
