But she was not left long to doubt that Friedsam had remembered her; by the time that the cock had crowed the second time the sound of the monastery bell, the rope of which hung just by Friedsam's bedside, broke abruptly into the deathlike stillness, calling the monks and nuns of Ephrata to a solemn night service.
It was the voice of Daniel Scheible, whose existence she had almost forgotten. "Poor Daniel!" she said, pausing and looking at him with pity. "Don't say 'Poor Daniel, but come." "Poor boy!" said Tabea. "You are bewitched!" he cried, seizing her and drawing her away. "I knew Friedsam would put a charm on you."
When I tell Brother Friedsam that I shall not come to singing school, I shall stick to it. He may get his music performed by some one else. He will not call me a 'ninny' again." "There spoke the Hofcavalier," giggled Thecla. "Sister Tabea," said Jael, "if you go on as you are going, you will end by leaving the convent and breaking your vows. Mark my words."
There seemed nothing in heaven or earth so desirable as to possess the esteem of Friedsam. But she stood silent and condemned. "I have had one comfort," proceeded Brother Friedsam after a while.
Nevertheless she held up her head like a defiant Hofcavalier. After a time Brother Jabez, with a kind greeting, passed her, and the director, looking up, said very gently: "I wish you a very good day, Sister Tabea." "I am no longer Sister Tabea, but Margaretha Thome. I have said adieu to all in Sharon, and now I come to say good-by to Brother Friedsam.
Brother Friedsam was a fanatic, and he was also an artist. He obliged the brethren and sisters to submit to the most rigorous training. In this, as in religion, he subordinated them to his ideals. He would fain tune their very souls to his own key; and he exacted a precision that was difficult of attainment by men and women of average fallibility and carelessness.
Tabea felt sure that Friedsam had called the meeting at this moment by way of assuring her of his remembrance.
