      ACT ONE

      AT RISE: It is 1812 in Germany. We see a group of people, with black ribbons on their arms, surrounding a grave. The MINISTER is downstage, facing away from the audience.

      Scene 1

      MINISTER: In Namen vom Vater, dem Sohn, und dem heiligen Geist. Amen. (In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Amen.)

      JACOB: Haven’t you heard? (He pulls out a pocketwatch, winds it, then twirls it on the chain.) We’re being sent away to school. Mother was talking to Aunt Henriette this morning because she can’t afford to keep all of us. Aunt has agreed to pay for the two of
