"There," he said, as he placed it on Rico's arm, "take the bow in your hand, so, my boy; and if you can play me c, d, e, f, I will give you a half-gulden." Rico had the fiddle really in his hand; his eyes sparkled with fire; c, d, e, f, he played the notes firmly and perfectly correctly. "You little rascal!" cried the astonished teacher, "where did you learn that? Who taught you?
Stineli tried to console him a little with the half-gulden; but he was furious at the thought of the innocent piece of money, and would not even look at it. So Stineli said, "I will put it with my blutsgers, and we will have it all between us."
These words gave an entirely new aspect to the affair. The teacher stood up, and went back and forth several times in the room. Then he was himself the cause of this wonderful event; there was no necromancy concerned in it. In a far better humor, he took out his purse, saying, "Here is your half-gulden, Rico; it is justly yours.
With these words he pressed the half-gulden into Stineli's hand. "Six hundred blutsgers!" repeated the girl, horrified. "But where did this half-gulden come from?" Rico told her all that had happened at the teacher's, ending with the same words expressing his great regret, "It is all of no use!"
