Sample Book Insights:
#1 I was 45 years old, unmarried, and my waistline was long since vanished. But today, I thought, the maroon dress looked very smart. I was going to the party with Betsie, who was seven years older than me.
#2 I had loved to step into the customers’ part of the shop with its glass case full of watches. It was still dark outside because the shutters had not been drawn back from the windows on the street. I unlocked the street door and stepped out into the Barteljorisstraat.
#3 The Dining Room was in the house at the rear, five steps higher than the shop but lower than Tante Jans’s rooms. It had been Mama’s chair, and the three aunts’ places over there. I laid three plates on the table.
#4 We sat down to celebrate the anniversary of Mama’s death. We looked back at the time when Mama was alive, and beyond. We remembered how she loved occasions and how she knew almost everyone in Haarlem.

#1

I was 45 years old, unmarried, and my waistline was long since vanished. But today, I thought, the maroon dress looked very smart. I was going to the party with Betsie, who was seven years older than me.

#2

I had loved to step into the customers’ part of the shop with its glass case full of watches. It was still dark outside because the shutters had not been drawn back from the windows on the street. I unlocked the street door and stepped out into the Barteljorisstraat.

#3

The Dining Room was in the house at the rear, five steps higher than the shop but lower than Tante Jans’s rooms. It had been Mama’s chair, and the three aunts’ places over there. I laid three plates on the table.

#4

We sat down to celebrate the anniversary of Mama’s death. We looked back at the time when Mama was alive, and beyond. We remembered how she loved occasions and how she knew almost everyone in Haarlem.

#5

The clock shop was a fixed point in the Beje’s life. Scripture reading at 8:30 each morning was another such point. Father opened the big Bible and began to read.

#6

I loved to bike to Nollie’s house. She and her husband lived outside the city center, and the streets there were broader and straighter. I pedaled across the town square, over the canal on the Grote Hout bridge, and along the Wagenweg.

#7

Father was very fond of children, and they loved him. He had a trick that never failed: he would set his cigar-sweet beard on fire, and then blow it out, leaving the beard smoking.

#8

Father was as innocent of business know-how as his father had been before him. He would work on a difficult repair problem for days, and then forget to send a bill. The more rare and expensive a watch, the less he was able to think of it in terms of money.

#9

Willem was the head of the Dutch Reformed Church’s program to reach Jews. He had written a paper about the growing evil in Germany, and many had laughed. But now, people weren’t laughing about Germany. They were scared.

#10

The shadow that fell across us that winter afternoon in 1937 was the start of a dark period in Dutch history, but it was a period that allowed me to play a role in the future. I didn’t know it at the time, but I was preparing for the work God would give me to do.
