Excerpt
Chapter XIV. For the first time in his life Ulrich had witnessed the death of a human being. How often he had laughed at the fool, or thought his words absurd and wicked;?but the dead man inspired him with respect, and the thought of the old jester?s corpse exerted a far deeper and more lasting influence upon him, than his father?s supposed death.
