"Unfortunately, my worthy uncle, who is all to me in this world, would be quite alone if I were to leave him; and, although he has never said so, I know he dreads the possibility of my suggesting such a thing."

Washington had to send, therefore, his ancient swordsman and interpreter, Jacob Van Braam.
At Weimar there was no greeting for Schopenhauer from his mother she welcomed all but her son. Unfortunately for her, she put herself on record by writing him letters. Scathing letters are all right, but they should be directed and stamped, then burned just before they are trusted to the mails.
