2 Clerval, I assure you he has outstript us all.
3 Henry Clerval was the son of a merchant of Geneva.
4 Clerval then put the following letter into my hands.
5 Dearest Clerval," exclaimed I, "how kind, how very good you are to me.
6 Yet that is over now: Clerval writes that indeed you are getting better.
7 But these cares of Clerval were made of no avail when I visited the professors.
8 Meanwhile Clerval occupied himself, so to speak, with the moral relations of things.
9 One of my first duties on my recovery was to introduce Clerval to the several professors of the university.
10 Your favourite schoolfellow, Louis Manoir, has suffered several misfortunes since the departure of Clerval from Geneva.
11 Clerval continued talking for some time about our mutual friends and his own good fortune in being permitted to come to Ingolstadt.
12 I loved my brothers, Elizabeth, and Clerval; these were "old familiar faces," but I believed myself totally unfitted for the company of strangers.
13 Nothing could equal my delight on seeing Clerval; his presence brought back to my thoughts my father, Elizabeth, and all those scenes of home so dear to my recollection.
14 I could hardly believe that so great a good fortune could have befallen me, but when I became assured that my enemy had indeed fled, I clapped my hands for joy and ran down to Clerval.
15 As it drew nearer I observed that it was the Swiss diligence; it stopped just where I was standing, and on the door being opened, I perceived Henry Clerval, who, on seeing me, instantly sprung out.
16 Clerval, whose eyes and feelings were always quick in discerning the sensations of others, declined the subject, alleging, in excuse, his total ignorance; and the conversation took a more general turn.
17 Clerval at first attributed my unusual spirits to joy on his arrival, but when he observed me more attentively, he saw a wildness in my eyes for which he could not account, and my loud, unrestrained, heartless laughter frightened and astonished him.
