bang! bang! goes three or four guns- the men had slipped around through the woods and come in from behind without their horses! The boys jumped for the river-both of them hurt- and as they swum down the current the men run along the bank shooting at them and singing out, “Kill them, kill them!” It made me so sick I most fell out of the tree. I ain’t a-going to tell ALL that happened- it would make me sick again if I was to do that. I wished I hadn’t ever come ashore that night, to see such thin...gs.
-Mark Twain, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn     “Yes, yes, Frau Blick, I’ve got your order right here.” The scent of cinnamon swirled through “the air. I was in line at Steinhoff’s Bakery in Caputh. The baker was known for his cinnamon strudel. Mama had sent me to get a half dozen strudel plus a ring cake called a Gugelhupf. There were three people ahead of me in line.
“Frau Blick, you want some fresh Mutti Brötchen?” Mutti Brötchen, or Mama’s bread, were the white rolls that the bakery was famous for.
