She wished to hurry from the church. She must go home and write her book, her glorious book on the God of peace and love. Nothing else that can be deemed worth mentioning happened to Mamsell Fredrika before New Year's night.
Thank God that you will not remain there over night, otherwise you would experience what she and the Mamsell can invent!" "Yes, the Mamsell is my friend!" said Wilhelm. "You will see her work-box with all the curiosities.
To-morrow I will write to Cousin Joachim; he will also be surprised!" Late in the afternoon came Jakoba, the Mamsell, the preacher, and yet a few other guests. In the evening the table was arranged festively. The betrothed sat together, and Otto had the place of honor he sat on the other side of Sophie.
"Well, good-night then, and beware of the knight of the church road," said her dead sister, and smiled roguishly in her old way. Then Mamsell Fredrika drove home. All Årsta still slept, and she went quietly to her room, lay down and slept again. A few hours later she drove to the real early mass.
"Do you remember, Fredrika," said the sister, as they sat in the carriage and drove quickly to the church, "do you remember how you always in the old days expected some knight to carry you off on the road to church?" "I am still expecting it," said old Mamsell Fredrika, and laughed. "I never ride in this carriage without looking out for my knight." Even though they hurried, they came too late.
A crime and misdemeanor, that shall now be; and Forfeiture of the Money is only part of the penalty, according to this Cabinet-Order. Rumor is, the Crown-Prince had purchased a vehicle and appurtenances at Leipzig, and was for running off. "Your whole debt, then, is that? Tell me the whole!" Faithful Mamsell Bulow consoles the Princess: "Wait, I have news that will put her Majesty in fine humor!"
Not that I love them; as far as that goes, unlike the effect they produce on most of my country-men, they leave me singularly cold; but it is one of my duties to begin the day with sausages, and every morning for the short time I am in the midst of their shining rows, watching my Mamsell dexterously hooking down the sleekest with an instrument like a boat-hook, I am practically dead to every other consideration in heaven or on earth.
Sophie laughed and offered her hand to Otto. Wilhelm turned to Mamsell. "I have brought something for you," said he, "something which I hope may find a place in the work-box a man made of very small mussel-shells; it is from Venice." "Heavens! from all that way off!" said she and courtesied. After dinner they walked in the garden. Wilhelm spoke already of going the following year again to Paris.
She had never seen the church so crowded: on the communion table and on the pulpit steps sat people; they stood in the aisles, they thronged in the pews, and outside the whole road was packed with people who could not enter. The sisters, however, found places; for them the crowd moved aside. "Fredrika," said her sister, "look at the people!" And Mamsell Fredrika looked and looked.
On a fine summer afternoon Frau Marianne, the young widow, came wandering up to the Ettersberg through the swelling fields, and asked for Mamsell Beate Rauchfuss, whom she found in the garden. The child was lying asleep on the lawn that was used for bleaching, and did not wake when the stranger approached her. "Queer," thought the young widow, "to lie and sleep like that!
