[The Malady of the Century by Max Nordau]@TWC D-Link bookThe Malady of the Century CHAPTER XIV 5/19
Somebody at the Herald's office suggested putting it "Minem Kunege treu," but he had not the courage. But though his promotion had occupied him almost exclusively during the last few months, necessitating frequent journeys to Berlin, he did not cease to think of poor Wilhelm.
For a whole year he, as well as Malvine and Willy, wore deep mourning for the friend who had sacrificed himself for them, and Paul erected a magnificent monument over him in the St. Georg Cemetery in Hamburg, on which neither marble nor gilt nor verses were spared.
The monument is one of the sights of the churchyard, and pointed out to visitors with great pride by the sexton.
Old Frau Brohl, too, kept green the memory of the departed friend.
Her speciality now was the manufacturing of flags and banners since Paul had founded quite a number of Vereins among the settlers on his estate--latterly a Military Verein, and one for Conservative electors.
