All this meant a gold watch and chain to her god daughter for her birthday, the next month, and a new silk umbrella for the elder sister. Poor Anna, and she did not love them very much, these relatives of hers, and they were the only kin she had. Mrs. Lehntman never joined in, in these attacks. Mrs.
No, not one of them had any sense of what was the right way for them to do. Anna's past life was now drawing to an end. Her old blind dog, Baby, was sick and like to die. Baby had been the first gift from her friend the widow, Mrs. Lehntman in the old days when Anna had been with Miss Mary Wadsmith, and when these two women had first come together.
Lehntman, and soon she was busier than before making Julia do things right for little Johnny. And now new schemes were working strong in Mrs. Lehntman's head, and Anna must listen to her plans and help her make them work. Mrs. Lehntman always loved best in her work to deliver young girls who were in trouble.
And at her side to make her feel the power of it all, was the intense conviction of poor Anna, struggling to be unfeeling, self righteous and suppressed. "Miss Mary" with Anna when things had to come they came always sharp and short "Miss Mary, Mrs. Lehntman has come here with me, so I can tell you about not staying with you there in Curden.
The doctor she had learned to know, was too certainly an evil as well as a mysterious man, and he had power over the widow and midwife, Mrs. Lehntman. Anna never saw Mrs. Lehntman at all now any more. Mrs. Lehntman had borrowed some more money and had given Anna a note then for it all, and after that Anna never saw her any more.
He and Julia had been keeping company for several years and now it was needful that they should be married. But then how could they marry? He did not make enough to start them and to keep on supporting his old mother too. Julia was not used to working much and she said, and she was stubborn, that she would not live with Charley's dirty, cross, old mother. Mrs. Lehntman had no money.
Lehntman went from bad to worse. The doctor, the mysterious and evil man, got into trouble doing things that were not right to do. Mrs. Lehntman was mixed up in this affair. It was just as bad as it could be, but they managed, both the doctor and Mrs. Lehntman, finally to come out safe. Everybody was so sorry about Mrs. Lehntman.
She begged her friend to be with her when she told the news to Miss Mary. Perhaps if Mrs. Lehntman had not been in Bridgepoint, Anna would have tried to live in the new house. Mrs. Lehntman did not urge her to this thing nor even give her this advice, but feeling for Mrs.
Miss Mary and Jane promised to take a trip for all the time that Anna was away, and so there would be no need for Anna's work, nor for a new girl to take Anna's place. Anna's mind was thus a little set at rest. She gave herself to Mrs. Lehntman and the doctor to do what they thought best to make her well and strong.
Lehntman was really a good woman, it had been a very hard thing for this german woman to do what everybody knew and thought was wrong. Mrs. Lehntman was strong and she had courage, but it had been very hard to bear. Even the good Anna did not speak to her with freedom. There always remained a mystery and a depression in Mrs. Lehntman's affair.
