Mimmy dimly sees that there is some magic in this helmet, and tries to keep it; but Alberic wrests it from him, and shows him, to his cost, that it is the veil of the invisible whip, and that he who wears it can appear in what shape he will, or disappear from view altogether. This helmet is a very common article in our streets, where it generally takes the form of a tall hat.
He is promptly denounced as a filthy liar, because the birds and foxes are exactly like their parents, whereas Siegfried, having often watched his own image in the water, can testify that he is no more like Mimmy than a toad is like a trout. Then, to place the conversation on a plane of entire frankness, he throttles Mimmy until he is speechless.
If any further steps were to be taken, they must be taken by him, and not by her; or else by Mimmy, who, just as her mother was slowly consuming her last grapes, ran round to the back of M. Lacordaire's chair, and whispered something into his ear. It may be presumed that Mrs.
Reassured on this point, he drives Mimmy away, and stretches himself under the trees, listening to the morning chatter of the birds.
And I hope you will meditate much upon it, and it may lead you to change your course in regard to Dr. Grimshaw." "Mimmy!" she said, with a wild laugh, "is there a deeper pit in perdition than that to which you urge me now?" Fortune certainly favored the lovers that day; for when Thurston reached home in the evening, his grandfather said to him: "Well, Mr.
Sieglinda, when she flies into the forest with the hero's son unborn in her womb, and the broken pieces of his sword in her hand, finds shelter in the smithy of a dwarf, where she brings forth her child and dies. This dwarf is no other than Mimmy, the brother of Alberic, the same who made for him the magic helmet.
Thompson also saw, as she glanced round, and then Mimmy walked across the yard in her best clothes with a fete-day air about her for which her mother would have liked to have whipped her. But what did it matter? If it was written in the book that she should become Madame Lacordaire, of course the world would know that there must have been some preparatory love-making.
It is promptly smashed, as usual, with, also, the usual effects on the temper of Siegfried, who is quite boundless in his criticisms of the smith's boasted skill, and declares that he would smash the sword's maker too if he were not too disgusting to be handled. Mimmy falls back on his stock defence: a string of maudlin reminders of the care with which he has nursed the little boy into manhood.
To this question Mrs. Thompson made no answer. "Mamma," continued Mimmy, after a moment's pause, "won't you tell me whether you are fond of M. Lacordaire? I'm quite sure of this, that he's very fond of you." "What makes you think that?" asked Mrs. Thompson, who could not bring herself to refrain from the question. "Because he looks at you in that way, mamma, and squeezes your hand."
When Siegfried, stung by the dragon's vitriolic blood, pops his finger into his mouth and tastes it, he understands what the bird is saying to him, and, instructed by it concerning the treasures within his reach, goes into the cave to secure the gold, the ring and the wishing cap. Then Mimmy returns, and is confronted by Alberic.
