In 1982, while visiting friends in Lauren, Holland, my wife and I found in a quaint music store this lovely 6-inch-tall porcelain bust of Brahms. We were delighted with it and wanted to protect it from breakage. While our friends gave us a tour of the northern lowlands, I placed the fragile bust in the glove compartment for safe keeping. The next morning we left early for Germany and in the rush of saying goodbye and getting to the train station on time, it never dawned on us that we had left Brahms in the car! Finally, after several calls and letters, Brahms was delivered by mail--unbroken--to us three weeks later .
