Farmer Beerstraater, an old friend of her father's, had called to see Nicholas; not finding Nicholas, had talked a little with Christina. A hardhearted creditor was turning him out of his farm. Christina pretended not to know that the creditor was Nicholas himself, but marvelled that such wicked men could be.
Nicholas said nothing, but the next day Farmer Beerstraater had called again, all smiles, blessings, and great wonder. "But what can have come to him?" repeated Farmer Beerstraater over and over. Christina had smiled and answered that perhaps the good God had touched his heart; but thought to herself that perhaps it had been the good influence of another. The tale flew.
