In front of the old manor house at Hohen-Cremmen
that the von Briest family had occupied since the days
of Elector George William, bright sunshine was falling
on the village road in the noon stillness.
The wing of the mansion looking toward the garden and park cast its broad shadow over a white and green checkered tile walk and extended out over a large round bed, with a sundial
in its centre and a border of Canna indica and rhubarb.
