Seite 171 - You are not mistaken, my dear fellow, as to your facts,' he once remarked in his kindliest way to a young writer, ' but don't hurt people need lessly with that strong pen of yours. When you come to be as old as I am, you will be sorry to remember that you have been guilty of needless cruelty to any one.
