The Three Comrades (Classic Reprint) - Gustav Frenssen

Excerpt from The Three Comrades
But the third is hanging back. The third is Heim Heide rieter, the boy from the Heidehof. He has a round head with a child's round cheeks and curly fair hair. His eyes are blue, deep and loyal. In appearance and movement he is shy and constrained, but his teacher and pastor both say he has a clear head, and so he has been learning Latin since Easter. They have given him the worst horse Dickkopf, who is seventeen years old and trots heavily.
The others have already halted on the summit of the dyke; they look through their hands, which they hold before their eyes like telescopes, over the green foreland and the wide low sands above which the sun is resting.
