"I would be glad to speak a few words to your sister, if it is your sister that I want." And the stranger's face grew very red. "Is it," said Greta, "that you are a friend of Herr Harz?
The tramp of the horse, and the increasing distance, drowned the rest of her song, but Jeanie heard for some time the inarticulate sounds ring along the waste. Our pilgrim remained stupified with undefined apprehensions.
