The gendarme was glad to have at least got an answer from her, and continued: "And if I were allowed to dance, I would have one with you right now." "I cannot dance," replied Amrei. Just then the music ceased. Amrei pushed against the people in front of her, and made her way in to seek some retired corner.
I see thee with a thousand eyes, and a thousandfold No, there there thy hand! Come here there there in the chest is thy dowry! Take the cloth! My son! my boy! Yes, yes, she is thine! John, my son, my son! my " The old woman laughed convulsively, and fell back in her bed. Amrei and John had knelt down beside her, and when they stood up and bent over her, she had ceased to breathe. "Oh, heavens!
And away he ran out of the village, at such a pace that Amrei could hardly keep up with him; and when she arrived at their parents' house he was already up in the tree, teasing her in a boasting manner and calling for her to come up too because he knew that she could not. And now he began to pluck the red berries and threw them down into his sister's apron.
But scarcely had Severin turned his back when she called out to him, half-aloud: "I won't take any presents!" and she flung the ducat after him. Several people who had seen this came up to Amrei and scolded her; and just as they were about to illuse her, she was again saved from their rough hands by Farmer Rodel's wife, who once before had protected her with words.
Crappy Zachy had led Damie there by the hand, but Amrei had come alone, without Black Marianne; many were angry at the hard-hearted woman, while a few hit a part of the truth when they said that Marianne did not like to visit graves, because she did not know where her husband's grave was.
And the sound shot up heavenward like a fiery rocket. "Juhu!" cried Amrei, rejoicing with him. And on they danced with ever-increasing joy. Finally Amrei said: "Tell me is the music going on? Are the musicians still playing? I don't hear them any more." "Of course they are still playing. Don't you hear them?" "Yes, now I do," said Amrei.
"Come home there's a severe storm coming up, and the wind will blow it here directly," urged Marianne. And so Amrei walked, almost staggered, back to the village with Black Marianne. What did it mean that people had seen her running through field and forest? Or was it only Black Marianne's fancy?
Again the suspicion seemed to dawn upon them, that after all their parents would not come back. Then Damie tried to count the drops of rain that fell from the eaves; but they came down too quickly for him, and he made easy work of it by crying out all at once: "A thousand million!" "She must come past here when she goes home," said Amrei, "and then we'll call out to her.
"For you I unfortunately have nothing," said the good woman to Damie, who was breaking a switch he had in his hand into little pieces. "But I will send you a pair of leather breeches belonging to my John they are quite good still and you can wear them when you grow bigger. And now, God keep you, dear children. If possible, I shall come to you again, Amrei.
"It is necessary. But if you like, John may do it but sh! put it out of sight! quickly! Hide it in your apron, for I hear John coming! I think he is jealous." And the two parted in haste. And that very evening the mother took Amrei up into the attic, and out of a drawer drew forth a tolerably heavy bag. The cord which held it together was tied and knotted in a remarkable manner.
