Whereupon Sheila, at the age of six, is as flaxen-haired and blue-eyed and stolid a little German madchen as ever fooled her parents, and she is a feminine reproduction of her German Dad. Two years later came a sturdy boy, and they named him Hans, in a flaunt of defiance. Hans is black-haired, gray-eyed and Irish as Killarny. "We're awful hungry," announces Sheila.
Annalise closed her lips tightly and shook her head. "My tongue cannot be held for that," she said, beginning to sway again and hum. Adjectives foamed on Fritzing's own, but he kept them back. "Mädchen," he said with the gentleness of a pastor in a confirmation class, "do you not remember that the love of money is the root of all evil? I do not recognize you.
The men listened with amazement, but with one breath they all declared she must be the child of whom the dead man had spoken. She prayed, and my wife says never a word said she to the Virgin, but spoke just straight to God." "Ach, poor Mädchen!" said another of the men; "does she think the Lord would listen to the prayer of a child like her?
'Your most affectionate, 'P. S. Is he not a hero, equal to his "hoch-beseeltes Madchen"? I am ashamed of having written to you what was never meant for other eyes, but it will be safe with you. If you had seen how he used to waylay us, and ask for our tidings from you after the fire, you would see I cannot doubt who the "madchen" is. Is there no hope for him?
I shrunk back into the darkness of the area behind the refuse bins standing in front of the bay nearest the door. Within the house footsteps were approaching the scullery. I heard a door open, then a man's voice singing. He was warbling in a fine mellow baritone that popular German ballad: "Das haben die Mädchen so gerne Die im Stübchen und die im Salong."
"I wanted to hear more about Mr. John Smith. I don't understand German. Do you? Why did Papa laugh?" "I don't know much German, but I think Mädchen means girl," Mollie answered. "I couldn't help laughing. Squatting sounds such a funny cure for being in love." She giggled again. "Girl!" Hugh exclaimed."Girl! I didn't think he was that sort of an idiot! He talked quite all right to me.
He shook his head again and hummed in a melodious baritone: "Mädchen mit dem rothen Mündchen Mit den Äuglein süss und klar." "Aha!" laughed the professor, "I have seen more than one young man come to Australia to cure that disease. But I don't recommend the vineyard." "I also not. Mr. John Smith should squat," said Mr. von Greusen.
She had been inclined to warn me against Herr von Inster as a person removed by birth from my sphere I suppose that's because I play the violin and also against drives in forests generally if the parties were both unmarried; and she had been extraordinarily dignified when I laughed, and had told me it was all very well for me to laugh, being only an ignorant junges Madchen, but she doubted whether my mother would laugh; and she watched our departure for our picnic very stiffly and unsmilingly from the porch.
"Unartiges Mädchen! Do you intend never to let me see you again? Tell me what you mean by it." Not a word said Sydney only laughed at him provokingly. "I am of a mind to punish you," he cried, drawing her towards him, and leaning over her. He looked determined, and Sydney surrendered her silence with dignified haste. "No, no, don't," she said, in reply to his gesture rather than his words.
Once, in the case of a very young Madchen, that signature was blotted by the sweep of a flaxen braid upon it as the child turned to go; but generally there was a grave, serious business instinct and sense of responsibility in these girls of ordinary peasant origin which, equally with their sisters of France, were unknown to the English or American woman of any class.
