Slowly she got up and dressed herself. A gentle thought of her home rose up within her, but it was altogether without strength. She even found it a trouble to think of it. Moreover, she felt no penitence on that account; rather, she was proud of what she had done. She felt herself wholly as Emil's creature; all that had had part in her life previous to his advent seemed to be extinguished.
I can't bear to wait, Fritz, cried Mrs Jo, dropping her work and standing up as if to take the shot bravely. 'But we must wait and hope, heart's-dearest. Come and let us bear it together. Emil's ship is lost, and as yet no news of him.
Tom and Nan took all the time they could spare from their studies to enjoy high jinks at Plumfield with their old friends; for Emil's next voyage was to be a long one, Nat's absence was uncertain, and no one ever knew when Dan would turn up again.
One who has felt them knows their languor and sweetness; to one who has felt them not, one could never make them known. The door opened Emil's head appeared. 'I have brought it, he said in a whisper: 'here it is the answer! He showed and waved above his head a folded sheet of paper. Sanin leaped up from the sofa and snatched it out of Emil's hand.
No disappointment now; answering signals assured them of help; and in the rapture of that moment the happy women fell on Emil's neck, giving him his reward in tears and blessings as their grateful hearts overflowed.
And while Frau Rupius was telling of the walking tours through Switzerland and the Tyrol, which she had once undertaken with her husband, Bertha pictured herself wandering by Emil's side on similar paths, and she was filled with such an immense yearning that she would dearly have liked at once to get up, go to Vienna, seek him out, fall into his arms, and at last, at last to taste those delights which had hitherto been denied her.
Bertha heard the rain beating against the window-panes and a sensation as of being at home came over her. Then she felt as though Emil was lifting her up and carrying her. Without letting her out of his arms he had stood up and was slowly bearing her out of the room. She felt her right arm graze against the curtain.... She kept her eyes closed; she could feel Emil's cool breath upon her hair....
And will you be so good as to tell the Irishman that he is not to work the brown gelding until the sore on its shoulder is healed?" "That I will. Now go and put Emil's mare to the cart. I am going to drive up to the north quarter to meet the man from town who is to buy my alfalfa hay." Alexandra was to hear more of Ivar's case, however. On Sunday her married brothers came to dinner.
Just as the last notes of the clear, strong voice died away, Mrs Hardy suddenly exclaimed: 'What's that? Emil's quick eye saw at once the little puff of smoke coming up a hatchway where no smoke should be, and his heart seemed to stand still for an instant as the dread word 'Fire! flashed through his mind.
She knew that Emil was fond of Marie, but it had never occurred to her that Emil's feeling might be different from her own. She wondered at herself now, but she had never thought of danger in that direction. If Marie had been unmarried, oh, yes! Then she would have kept her eyes open. But the mere fact that she was Shabata's wife, for Alexandra, settled everything.
