Advent had come again, the most beautiful Advent of all ; that life of real expectation. When the long evenings set in and we met around the fireplace, there was the same atmosphere, which can only be char- acterised by that untranslatable word, “gemütlich”. There was something new, which one could feel but not put into words. That mood of cheerful anticipation had taken hold of the whole family.
