"Oh, it is no such long journey as that. I am sorry to ask you to do a disagreeable errand, but you see Mother is much disturbed because this mail-bag has not been sent back. She seems to be in a hurry to have everything finished and settled up as if she had no time to lose." Veronica paused, and the tears that it so troubled Blasi to see, filled her eyes to overflowing.
"Answer me, and I'll answer you, my lad." "All right; it's nothing to be ashamed of. She'll have me." "Good heavens!" exclaimed Judith "Who? Which one?" Blasi did not turn round, but pointed with his thumb over his shoulder at the house he had just left. "That one," he said. Judith shouted with laughter. "Will she have you all three?" she said; "first Dietrich, then Jost, and now you."
"Oh yes, well, when will it be possible, I wonder. How much have you paid me back, as yet, since you began to borrow of me?" said Dietrich angrily. "Let me go, Blasi, I've no time to spare." But Blasi went along by his side, and before he had done talking, Jost joined them and held Dietrich fast by the other arm.
Blasi had too much respect for Dietrich's mother to run away from her when she put a direct question to him, although he would fain have escaped. He came close to the hedge, and replied, "There has been a row at the Rehbock. Two men were killed. Some one stole the cattle dealer's money bag " "Is Dietrich killed? Speak out!" broke in Gertrude, trembling.
While Blasi was discoursing in this clever manner, Jost looked squintingly at him, and when he stopped, he answered scoffingly, "Oh, so she has come to it at last, has she? I have been expecting it. You go back and tell her that I can give her all the information she wants; but she must come to me for it, herself, and speak pleasantly to me, as I do to her.
"Nothing; if you know of anything we will share it," said Blasi sullenly. "Well, perhaps I know something that it would not be a bad thing for you to share with me. Perhaps it's worth while for some one who has learned it by the sweat of her brow, to tell you that vegetables can be made to grow in a garden, instead of nettles, which you seem to cultivate."
Blasi made a wry face and began in an angry tone, "There's nothing very clever in that" but just then he remembered that when he came out of the house he had intended to come over and say something quite different to Judith; so he changed his tone quickly, and said,
So he did not throw the bowl, but instead, drained it to the bottom and then left the room. About this time Blasi began to meet Judith very often on his evening walk. Judith seemed to have some business that took her frequently to Fohrensee. Strange surmises were aroused, among the Fohrensee people; for it was known that she went to visit the cattle-dealer.
"I don't care what grows anywhere; one thing is as good as another to me, now that Dietrich has gone. There's nothing to do in the evening now. I've half a mind to go after him." "Go where? do you know where he is?" "I don't, myself, but Jost does, and I know that Jost is expecting to hear from him. Though he does call me stupid, I have my eye on him," said Blasi, with angry emphasis.
"Well, I've no particular objection to that," said Dietrich, and ran off as fast as he could. Blasi, who had kept pace with the other two, seeing that there was no chance for him now, turned back with Jost, and the two went into the Rehbock together. Dietrich met Veronica quite the other side of the wood.
