The mother fled from the child, but she cannot abandon her new-found son. Oh, maternal love, thou dost hover in radiant bliss far above the clouds, and amid choirs of angels! Oh, maternal heart, thou dost bleed pierced with swords, more full of sorrows than any other! Poor, poor Florette!
Florette wished to tell him that the Eletto was her son, but the latter begged her to wait till his power was more firmly established, and how could she refuse her darling anything? She had grieved deeply, very deeply, but this mood soon passed away, and now she could be happy in Ulrich's society, and forget sorrow and heartache. What joy it was to have him back, to be loved by him!
"Why, what made you think any different?" "Who hooks her up now, Bert?" "She hires the dresser at the theatre." "I could 'a' kep' on doin' it," said Freddy, with a sigh. "Aw, now, kid, it's better for you here, gettin' educated an' all." "I don't like it, Bert." "You don't like it?" "Naw." "You don't like it! After all she done!" "I hate this ole school. I wanna leave. You tell Florette."
While Adam was standing behind the anvil, she sat among the flowers in the bow-window, and the watchmen now looked higher up than the forge, the worthy magistrates no longer cast unfriendly glances at the smith's house, for Florette grew more and more beautiful in the quiet life she now enjoyed, and many a neighboring noble brought his horse to Adam to be shod, merely to look into the eyes of the artisan's beautiful wife.
In the evening he drank his beer at the Lamb, and once, when the surgeon Siedler called life a miserable vale of tears, he laughed in his face and answered: "To him who knows how to take it right, it is a delightful garden." Florette was kind to her husband, and devoted herself to her child, so long as he was an infant, with the most self-sacrificing love.
Maybe you'd like to have it," Archer added, fumbling in his pockets. Florette, smiling and crying all at once, still sat looking wonderingly from one to the other of this adventurous, ragged pair. "Those Germans ain't so smart," said Archer. The girl only shook her head and explained to her parents. Then she turned to Tom. "My father wants to know if zey are all like you in America. Yess?"
In the vestibule, he leaned his head against the wall, moaning and sighing, until Florette was laid in her last bed, and a soldier put his hand on his shoulder. Then Ulrich strewed flowers over the corpse, and the joiner came to nail up the coffin. The blows of the hammer actually hurt him, it seemed as if each one fell upon his own heart.
A little white dog, exactly like the one Florette had possessed in the smithy, was also procured, and when in the evening the warm summer air floated into the open windows, and Ulrich sat alone with Florette, recalling memories of the past, or making plans for the future, it seemed as if a new spring had come to his soul. The citizens' distress did not trouble him.
"W'y, kid, you talk's if you never bin in the p'fession. How ole does Miss Le Fay look? Nineteen, tha's all. But with a great big boy like you taggin' on W'y, say, you'd queer her with them English managers right off. You don' wanna do that now, Freddy?" "No, but I " "I knew you'd take it sensible. You always bin a lot of help to Florette." "Did she tell you, Bert?" "Sure!" "A' right. I'll stay.
The musicians were going to the fair at Nordlingen, and the smith enjoyed himself so well with them, that he remained several days after reaching the goal of the journey. When he at last went away Florette wept, but he walked straight on until noon, without looking back.
