Whatever happened, she could now depart from earth in peace. Reserving for herself half of the flowers she had gathered in the garden she glided away, in order not to disturb the dying woman's confession. At the edge of the meadow Kuni paused to reflect. She would gladly have flung herself down on the dewy grass to rest, stretched at full length on the cool turf.
Besides, the daughter of the vagabond with the mutilated tongue was born a few days after the death of little Fraulein Peutinger, and this circumstance, when Kuni knew it, seemed significant. Soon after meeting the vagrant pair she had listened to a conversation between two travelling scholars, and learned some strange things.
Some people even regarded the little girl's sickness as a just punishment of God, to whom the constant devotion of the father and his young daughter to the old pagans and their ungodly writings must have given grave offence. This news increased to the utmost the anxiety from which Kuni had long suffered.

In the circles whence she had been brought no one grudged another such things. How little, she thought, would have been taken from the wealthy Katharina by the trifling gift which would have restored to her happiness and peace.
The blow which had fallen upon him filled him with savage rage, and he longed to inflict some pain upon all who came in his way that they, too, might feel what it was to suffer. The death of his "sweet little Juli" appeared to have hardened the last tender spot in his brutal soul. Kuni was the only person toward whom at first he imposed some restraint upon himself.
