The Clemenceau Case

Excerpt from The Clemenceau Case One day, when my school-mates were particularly exasperating, calling me the bastard of Orleans, one of them, Constantin Ritz, interfered in my behalf. In consequence of this incident, a warm friendship sprang up between Constantin and myself, which, among other things, led to my being invited to his home for the vacations.
