While Siegfried roamed through the woods, the dwarf would work for hours trying to mend the magic blade, but its hard steel would never yield either to his fire or his hammer. Mimi grew tired and discouraged. "I can never mend it," he groaned. Siegfried grew to be a young man. Often he saw his reflection in the water, and he said: "I am not Mimi's son.
Claude himself would certainly have preferred letting things remain as they were. The situation was very pleasant. Mimi's occasional companionship seemed sweeter than anything he had ever known; and, as he was master on board, he naturally had a certain right to show her attentions; which right he could not have under other circumstances.
His life was spared; but he was cast down to hopeless degradation and want, in which state his existence ultimately terminated. Before the scene with Cazeneau was over, Claude had gone away and found his wife. Already Mimi's strength had begun to return, and her new-born hope, and the rush of her great happiness, coming, as it did, after so much misery and despair, served to restore her rapidly.
She had distinction; she had race. Mimi might possibly be able to make rings round her in the pursuit of any practical enterprise, but her mere manner of existing from moment to moment was superior to Mimi's. The simple-minded parent was indeed convinced at heart that the world held no finer young woman than Sissie Prohack.
The voice was considerably agitated, but he smiled maliciously to himself, thinking: "It can't be anything very awful, because she only talks in that strain when it's nothing at all. She loves to pretend she's afraid of me. And moreover I don't believe there's anything on earth she daren't tell me." He heard another voice, reasoning in reply, that resembled Mimi's. Hadn't that girl gone home yet?
Then follows an allusion to the war between the Aesir and the Vanir, the battle with the giants who had got possession of the goddess Freyja, and the breaking of bargains; an obscure reference to Mimi's spring where Odin left his eye as a pledge; and an enumeration of his war-maids or Valkyries.
The fact was she was too disturbed to be able to reply. Jean called again and then got out of bed and thudded across the room to her bedside. "I say, Mimi," he screeched in his insistent treble, "who was it you were talking to?" Mimi's heart did not beat, it jumped. "When? Where?" "This afternoon, when I was having my hair cut." "How do you know I was talking to anybody?"
Then he melted the dust and poured the hot liquid into a mould the shape of a blade. When it had hardened, he took it out and sharpened it. Then he welded the blade to its hilt. "Ha! ha!" chuckled Mimi. "At last the sword is mended. "Now I will show Siegfried the dragon. He will not know a ring is in the dragon's cave. "When the dragon is dead, the ring shall be Mimi's.
While the various characters on board the schooner were thus entering into communication with one another, Zac endeavored also to scrape an acquaintance with one of the rescued party, who seemed to him to be worth all the rest put together. This was Mimi's maid, Margot, a beautiful little creature, full of life and spirit, and fit companion for such a mistress as hers.
But Siegfried knew there was no love in Mimi's heart. Daily Siegfried grew larger and stronger. Mimi continually boasted of his work at the forge. Often he said: "No one in this world can make such marvelous swords as Mimi." Siegfried urged him to make one sword after another, but as fast as they were made the boy would shatter them to bits with one blow on the dwarf's forge.
