He causes the death of his only friend, the regimental surgeon whose memories of his own grandfather--a silver-bearded Jewish innkeeper--remind the lieutenant of the hero of Solferino. Carl Joseph makes love to an older woman, with "the heart of a girl of sixteen...a beautiful secret in a crumbling castle," he runs into debt, leaves...
