Excerpt from With Old Glory in Berlin: The Story of a Young American Girl Who Went to Germany as a Music Student in the Fall of Nineteen Sixteen, Lived in Berlin for Thirteen Months, and Made Her Escape Eight Months After America Had Entered the ConflictThe experiences which Miss Therese relates throw such a light upon the subject. She did not go to Germany as an observer. Perhaps it was better so, for, since her mind was open and un hampered by pre-existing ideas, it was more ready to register unclouded impressions. Nor are her conclusions dogmatic. In the main her story is rather the simple, but highly interesting narrative of the actual life and adventures of a real girl in the enemy's country. It is for the reader to draw his own conclusions therefrom.This much may be said. Miss Therese possesses a mind of unusual keenness for a woman so young, and her personality is an extremely interesting one.The passport which allowed her to enter Germany describes her as nineteen, years old, five feet six and one-half inches in height, with an oval face, chestnut hair, blue eyes, a straight nose, small mouth and rounded chin, but no such meagre description can convey an idea of her natural charm, exceptional quickness of wit, innate poise and womanliness.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
