I went often to look at the collection of curiosities in
Heidelberg Castle, and one day I surprised the keeper
of it with my German. I spoke entirely in that language.
He was greatly interested; and after I had talked a while
he said my German was very rare, possibly a "unique;"
and wanted to add it to his museum.

on amid the general rage and turmoil of the ten parts
of speech, he turns over the page and reads, "Let the
pupil make careful note of the following exceptions."
He runs his eye down and finds that there are more exceptions to the rule than instances of it. So overboard
he goes again, to hunt for another Ararat and find another quicksand. Such has been, and continues to be,
my experience. Every time I think I have got one of
these four confusing "cases" where I am master of it,
a seemingly insignificant preposition intrudes itself into
my sentence, clothed with an awful and unsuspected
power, and crumbles the ground from under me. For
instance, my book inquires after a certain bird – (it is
always inquiring after things which are of no sort of consequence to anybody): "Where is the bird?" Now the
answer to this question, – according to the book, – is
that the bird is waiting in the blacksmith shop on account of the rain. Of course no bird would do that, but
then you must stick to the book. Very well, I begin to
cipher out the German for that answer.

If he had known what it had cost me to acquire my art,
he would also have known that it would break any collector to buy it. Harris and I had been hard at work on
our German during several weeks at that time, and although we had made good progress, it had been accomplished under great difficulty and annoyance, for three
of our teachers had died in the meantime. A person
who has not studied German can form no idea of what
a perplexing language it is.
Surely there is not another language that is so slip-shod
and systemless, and so slippery and elusive to the grasp.
One is washed about in it, hither and hither, in the
most helpless way; and when at last he thinks he has
captured a rule which offers firm ground to take a rest
