Während die Lieblingswörter meines Bruders nach und nach keine anderen waren, als Getreide, Schweine, Fichten und Föhren etcetera, waren die meinigen Paris, London, Kauka-sus, Tolstoi, Ibsen, etcetera und es hatte bald nichts mehr genützt, daß er immer wieder versucht hatte, mich an seinen Lieblingswörtern zu begeistern, wie es mir nichts genützt hat, ihn an meinen zu interessieren.
