[Erick and Sally by Johanna Spyri]@TWC D-Link bookErick and Sally CHAPTER II 22/26
This made her quite unhappy at the time, but the next week she had already found some one else who filled her thoughts. The last unfortunate friendship had brought forth Edi's satire to a greater degree.
The tailor of Upper Wood had three sons, and since the father on his wanderings had spent some time in Vienna he gave his sons, in remembrance of the beautiful days which he spent there, the names of three Austrian grand dukes.
It was this strange name that had first attracted Sally; to that was added that Leopold, the oldest of the sons, who had lived with his grandfather until now, but had come recently to Upper Wood, always wore elegant jackets and pants after the latest cut. Leopold had entered Sally's class and his appearance had at once inspired her.
But he was so small and dainty that he received the name Leopoldy from the whole school.
The rumor had preceded Leopold, that he had staid three years in the same class in the town where his grandfather lived.
