She tried to get up and set the thing straight, but the radiator at once receded toward the horizon, which, unlike true horizons, slanted diagonally, exactly parallel with the dropped lace edge of the cover. Frau Ebermann groaned through sticky lips and lay still. 'Certainly, I have a temperature, she said. 'Certainly, I have a grave temperature.

'Yes, beautiful, dear, said both girls. 'Go away! said Frau Ebermann. 'Go home to your father and mother! Their faces grew grave at once. 'H'sh! We can't, whispered the eldest. 'There isn't anything left. 'All gone, a boy echoed, and he puffed through pursed lips. 'Like that, uncle told me. Both cows too. 'And my own three ducks, the boy on the girl's lap said sleepily.
