But the boy from the Netherlands had not been born and brought up in the muscle-building air of the Dutch dikes for nothing, and after a few moments he found himself looking down on his tormentor and into the eyes of a crowd of very respectful boys and giggling girls, who readily made a passageway for his brother and himself when they indicated a desire to leave the schoolyard and go home.
"What is your name, new boy?" the big boy of Autun school called out to Napoleon, as on that first day of the new year, which was, as I have said, his first day at school, the Bonaparte brothers wandered about the schoolyard, strangers and shy. "Na-polle-o-nay!" answered the little new-comer, giving the Corsican pronunciation to his name of Napoleon. "Oho! so!" cried the big boy, mimicking him.
The colleagues were content to warn Doktor Bryller of the inappropriateness of his behavior. One day, about a half year before the final incarceration of Berthold Bryller for life, in an insane asylum subsidized by the state, a yelling arose in the schoolyard of the Horror High School.
It was noticed that this strange thing had been occurring every day latterly. And now, as usual of late, he hung about the gate of the schoolyard instead of playing with his comrades. He was sick, he said, and he looked it. He tried to seem to be looking everywhere but whither he really was looking down the road.
You don't ever have nothin' to eat." "I didn't eat to-day," said Titee, blazing up. "You did!" "I tell you I didn't!" and Titee's hard little fist planted a punctuation mark on his comrade's eye. A fight in the schoolyard! Poor Titee was in disgrace again.
It will be good fun, won't it?" And here Master Simon jumped and capered about with delight. When we came to the schoolyard there were several boys assembled and Quidd among them. Simon immediately ran up to him. "Quidd," said he, "I want to ask you a question. You know the law, do you not? Your father is the town clerk, and you ought." "I do know the law," said Quidd. "Have I not been bred to it?
As men, we fight for bigger playthings, for pounds, where before we fought for pence for gold where before we fought for coppers for command of a country instead of a schoolyard; for our wives instead of sweethearts, and through sheer deviltry and the love of the thing, when there's nothing else to fight about, just the same as we did in boyhood."
During fifteen years this public-spirited owner of the property paid all the taxes, and when the block was finally sold he made possible the playground equipment of a near-by schoolyard. On the other hand, the dispossessed tenants, a group of whom had to be evicted by legal process before their houses could be torn down, have never ceased to mourn their former estates.
One day I found myself the centre of an excited group in the middle of the schoolyard, with a dozen girls interrupting each other to express their disapproval of me. For I had coolly told them, in answer to a question, that I did not believe in God. How had I arrived at such a conviction? How had I come, from praying and fasting and Psalm-singing, to extreme impiety?
Gradually his doubts increased, to the point where he had to believe in his own death and abandon his faith in God. When he started school, there began the fullness of suffering which some children find there. Lunatic asylum: Bryller, Lola. Drowning in the sea: Kohn, Maria. Suicide: Schulz, Paulus. Surviving: Spinoza Spass, Laaks, Mechenmal. I. Appearance in the schoolyard.
