The story arose from our talking about the fashion of Christmas-trees having been adopted in England, and the recollection of the last Christmas-tree that she had seen at her old home with her former mistress caused her to say with a deep sigh, 'Ach! Ich habe gelebt und geliebet; so I will call the story 'I have lived and loved, and you must try to fancy that Mrs. Schwartz is speaking."
