As all of our belongings had been lost, we were allowed to choose articles of clothing from the trunks stored in the cellar of the Pavilion (we looked through them as carefully as if we were shopping at Wertheim’s). As we sorted through the trunks, selecting things for ourselves and laying them aside, already covetous and possessive, Kreck pointed to his black monocle and whispered that Hitler had ordered the call-up of all German men between the ages of sixteen and sixty, regardless of illness or injury. When I said that Felix would never allow them to take him or Caspar, he gave me a weary smile.

I chose three summer cardigans, tweed trousers, three skirts, a pair of boots, a Victorian nightgown, wool ski socks, Felix’s tennis flannels, and a necktie to use as a belt. Kreck dressed himself in a linen suit jacket and dress shirt, the arms too long, with tweed plus fours and gaiters. Roeder, wearing one of Felix’s gray school blazers and a paisley shawl for a skirt, looked the oddest of all, perhaps because we were accustomed to her long black dress.
