Both of them seemed to feel that the sensation of being lifted to the sky was over and past; and this thought was evidently in Amrei's mind when she said: "Well, we have been very happy together once, even if we don't see each other again in all our lives, and even though neither of us knows the other's name." The youth nodded and said: "You are right."
Little Amrei's cleverness at riddles soon began to be talked about in the village, and even rich, serious farmers, who seldom wasted many words on anybody, and least of all on a poor child, now and then condescended to ask little Amrei one.
A momentary flash of joy, such as may brighten the face when the heavens are opened, darted from Amrei's eyes. She covered her face with both hands, and the tears ran forth from between her fingers. John stood with his hand upon her. All the relatives had gathered around, and were gazing with astonishment at the strange scene. "What's all this with Barefoot?
Amrei felt that she had been too severe, whereas John was made to realize that it did not behoove him to make jest of Amrei's solitary position, and of her absolute dependence upon him. They did not say this to each other, but each of them knew that the other felt it. The little cloud that had thus come up soon evaporated under the bright sun that now broke through it.
It annoyed me to see him wear it in the church a thing of that kind ought to be taken off when one goes to church, and more especially in the churchyard!" The rumor of little Amrei's question must have penetrated to Severin himself, for he was seen to button his overcoat hastily, and as he did so he nodded at the child.
He could not express his thoughts as well as his wife had done on that day when she had talked with John his language was stiff in all its joints but still he managed to hit the point, and almost gave himself the appearance of taking Amrei's part against his wife; nor was it at all amiss when he said: "Look you, the Dame is like the 'good hour' itself; but the good hour is not a good day, a good week, or a good year.
Damie, inwardly rejoiced, but, as usual, not over-appreciative, reminds him of the "pair of leather breeches," a debt which John also promises to pay. Damie then displays unexpected cleverness by performing a mock-ceremony, in which he compels John to ask him, as his sister's only living relative, for Amrei's hand.
