The priest approached and, hastily casting a side glance at the burgomaster's wife, exclaimed: "She speaks through her nose, and Fraulein Henrica said just now it made her ache to hear her talk; I must keep her away." Doctor Bontius reflected a moment, and then said: "There are eyes that cannot endure a glare of light, and perhaps certain tones may seem unbearable to irritated ears.
"Yes, master," said Goliath, somewhat consoled for the delay of his supper by the hope of gaining ten florins. "Put that iron bar in the stove," added the Prophet, "to make it red-hot." "Yes, master." "You will leave it there; go to the burgomaster's, and return here to wait for me." "Yes, master. "You will keep the fire up in the stove." "Yes, master."
We were taken downtown to the Burgomaster's office, and official papers were made out, and we signed them. This was what the gendarme's interpreter had been telling us, about not being able to change our minds after we had signed the paper! The Burgomaster evidently told the gendarme to take us to the hotel and have us fed, and by this time, after our walk, we were quite ready for something.
The burgomaster's wife had been anxious about Henrica, but the latter greeted her with special cheerfulness and met her gentle reproaches with the assurance that this morning had done her good. Fate, she said, was just, and if it were true that confidence of recovery helped the physician, Doctor Bontius would have an easy task with her.
The Schout could only make arrests with the Burgomaster's warrant, and was obliged to bring the accused, within three days, before the judges, whose courts were open to the public. The condition of the population was prosperous. There were but few poor, and those did not seek but were sought by the almoners: The schools were excellent and cheap.
Just as I was leaving, Therese took me to the closet where the two children were sleeping. I knew what she was thinking of; but all that was over long ago; I could think of no one but Esther. The next day I found the burgomaster's son at my actress's house. He was a fine young fellow of twenty or twenty-one, but totally devoid of manner.
The list comprises three play-actors, four innkeepers, three common councilmen of Wurzburg, fourteen vicars of the cathedral, the burgomaster's lady, an apothecary's wife and daughter, two choristers of the cathedral, Gobel Babelin the prettiest girl in the town, and the wife, the two little sons, and the daughter of the councillor Stolzenberg. Rich and poor, young and old, suffered alike.
Adrian ran to the workshops and told the men, Peter went to the town-hall with a more upright bearing, and Maria, who was obliged to go out, undertook to tell Wilhelm's mother of the good results produced by her son's gift. Tears ran down the old lady's flabby cheeks at the story and, kissing the burgomaster's wife, she exclaimed: "Yes, Wilhelm, Wilhelm! If he were only at home now.
The house also is reached from both sides by a very long street, which has been quite newly built according to the Burgomaster's liking and at his charges. I paid three st. to the messenger, two pf. for bread, two pf. for ink. August 5. On Sunday, it was St. Oswald's Day, the painters invited me to the hall of their guild, with my wife and maid.
Her blonde wig, carefully curled and well arranged upon her head, became the cold white face which resembled that of some burgomaster's wife painted by Hals or Mirevelt. The extreme neatness of her dress, the velvet boots, the lace collar, the shawl evenly folded and put on, all bore testimony to the solicitous care which Modeste bestowed upon her mother.
