Little Journeys to the Homes of Great Musicians, 1901, Vol. 8 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Little Journeys to the Homes of Great Musicians, 1901, Vol. 8 The storks, one fine day, brought Richard a little sister. He was scarce two years older than she. These two sort of grew up together, and were ever the special pets of Herr Geyer, who used to take them to the theatre and seat them on a bench in the wings where they could watch him lead the assault in the Pirate's Revenge. Richard regarded his step-father with all the affection that ever a child had for its own parent; and until he was twenty-one was known to the world as Richard Wilhelm Geyer.
