Poor, honest little Fritz!
[CHAPTER VIII]
BONN AND BEETHOVEN
"Please, Fritz, do not look so sad," pleaded Mitzi.
They had arrived near the town of Bonn (Bō̍n) on the Rhine. In the distance they could see the buildings of a large university.
Fritz had not smiled since their terrible experience in Coblenz. Now, however, Mitzi hoped to cheer him.
"See, Fritz," she said. "We are in the town of Beethoven (Bā´tō-vĕn)."
At the sound of this name Fritz's eyes brightened. Beethoven was one of the greatest musicians that ever lived.
