And he was always one that needed money. Some are, you know; and while I was thinking, and he was standing near me, the Fräulein came in; and and I don't wonder for poor Franz is not a pleasant-looking man now-a-days she was very angry, and called me a bold, bad girl, and said she could have no such goings on at the 'Halbmond, but would tell my master when he came home from the forest."
I went in this morning and paid his score, on condition that he left the place this day; and he left the village as merrily as a cricket, caring no more for Thekla than for the Kaiser who built our church: for he never looked back at the 'Halbmond, but went whistling down the road." "That is a good riddance," said I. "Yes. But my sister says she must return to Worms.
Now and then a cart or carriage drove up, I could hear them ascending the rough village street long before they stopped at the "Halbmond," the village inn. Then there came a sound of running and haste in the house; and Thekla was always called for in sharp, imperative tones.
The only person I could see at the "Halbmond" was Lottchen; every one else was busy about the poor little Max, who was passing from one fit into another. I told Lottchen to ask the doctor to come in and see me before he took his leave for the night, and tired as I was, I kept up till after his visit, though it was very late before he came; I could see from his face how anxious he was.
I made my way out into the street, for the first time since I had come to the house on that memorable evening six weeks ago. I bribed the first person I met to guide me to the doctor's, and send him straight down to the "Halbmond," not staying to listen to the thorough scolding he fell to giving me; then on to the parsonage, to tell the master and the Fräulein of the state of things at home.
