Since the day Philippina had made her little brother Markus a cripple for life, she had been an outcast in the home of her parents. To be sure, she had had no great abundance of kindness and cheerfulness before the accident took place. But since that time the barbarous castigation of her father had beclouded and besmirched her very soul.
It would appear that there are local causes which affect the temperature in the Erzgebirge, for Reich found that in several places the mean temperature of the soil was higher than that of the air: for instance Soil. Air. Height above the sea. Altenberg ... 42·732° Fahr. 41·27° 2,450 feet Markus Röhling ... 43·542° " 41·832° 1,870" Johanngeorgenstadt. 43·115° " 41·09° 2,460"
Willibald was living in Breslau, where he had a poorly paid position as a bookkeeper and was just barely making ends meet. Markus was good for nothing, and head over heels in debt. Philippina thought the matter over for a moment, and then told her father to wait. She went upstairs. Jason Philip waited at the door, whistling softly.
Then, when he moved to go after her, others barred his way, hinting pretty plainly that he wasn't wanted there. "But Emma is there. Ask her to come out." "Emma's not coming out. She's here with Markus Shoemaker." Falkenberg stood there helpless. He had been cold to Emma now for so long that she had given him up.
She won't come up in the hills as we said." "It'll be Markus Shoemaker, then, that's keeping her back?" Falkenberg was gloomily silent. Then, after a pause: "They wouldn't even have me go on singing." We got to talking of the Captain and his wife. Falkenberg had an ill-forboding all was not as it might be between them. Gossiping fool!
The girls are so tiresome and have made such a muddle about the Krampuses for the staff. The money didn't come out right and Keller said that Markus had taken some but Markus said not taken only kept. Of course Markus complained to Frau Doktor and her father went to the head and complained too.
There was a better feeling now towards us; we were good fellows, with bottles in our pockets, and willing to pass them round; moreover, we were strangers in the place, and that was always something new. Also, Falkenberg said many humorous things of Markus Shoemaker, whom he persisted in calling Lukas. The dance was still going on inside, but none of the girls left us to go in and join.
She had been going about with Markus Shoemaker, 'twas true, but Falkenberg for his part could not deny having given Helene presents a silk handkerchief and a work box set with shells. Falkenberg was troubled, and said: "Everything is wrong, somehow. Nothing but bother and worry and foolery." "Why, as to that..." "That's what I call it, anyway, if you want to know.
Some of the old folks could not refrain from expressions of triumph that "the Lord had got a hold of that French infidel": and old Sister Goodenough seized his hand, and, with many sighs and much upturning of the eyes, exhorted him: "Brother Markus, give up everything! give up everything, and come out from the world and be separated!"
I'm still attending high school, but am more interested in theater and literature. I read Wedekind, Rilke, and others. Goethe also. I don't like Schiller and George. My friend's name is Mieze Maier. She lives, with her companions, in an elegant four-room apartment, since her father, Markus Maier, left her a lot of money. Her mother died ten years ago as a result of an operation on her stomach.
