What had blighted the poor thing was having to teach public school for a dozen years. She'd been teaching down to Kulanche that year and had just closed up. We set out in front of the house and Minna told me she was all in; and how she'd ever got through the season she didn't know. She went on to speak of little children. Fire in her voice? Murder!
It was clear that, if I were to fulfil all my responsibilities, particularly with regard to Minna, I should soon have to think of undertaking some lucrative enterprise again.
As soon as we seek to penetrate the secrets of Nature, where nothing is secret, and where it is only necessary to have the eyes to see, we perceive that the simple produces the marvellous. "Seraphitus," said Minna one evening a few days after Wilfrid's arrival in Jarvis, "you read the soul of this stranger while I have only vague impressions of it.
She opened the dining-room door, and found the bagatelle-board on the table. Fritz and Minna were playing a game of the desultory sort with the inevitable interruptions appropriate to courtship. "Are you coming to join us, mamma? Fritz is playing very badly." "This sort of thing requires mathematical calculation," Fritz remarked; "and Minna distracts my attention."
But though I did not even then lose courage, Minna, who as my wife was robbed of all that she had a right to expect, found this turn of fate quite unbearable. The hidden canker of our married life which, even before our marriage, had caused me the most terrible anxiety and led to violent scenes, reached its full growth under these sad conditions.
Then Gottlieb covered his face with his hands, and presently each of his bony knuckles sparkled with a pendant tear. "My own dear father!" said Minna; and her arms were around him, and her head was pressed close upon his breast. "My own good brother, thou couldst not be a thief!" said Aunt Hedwig; and, so saying, clasped her stout arms around them both.
After the rupture between Minna and myself at Rudolstadt, we had been to some extent lost to one another; but our friendship was resumed on our meeting again in Magdeburg; this time, however, it remained cool and purposely indifferent.
So they went on to discuss it back and forth warmly, when a misunderstanding arose that I was very careful to get the rights of a couple of weeks later. Minna went over the old ground that Homer could never get a fair trial; then she brightened up all at once and says: "Don't you pay it. Don't you do it; because you won't have to if you do what I say."
"Well, you might try," said one of them. "Got good references?" "References?" repeated Minna blankly. She did not know what this meant. "Oh, Mrs. Field ain't the kind to stick about references," spoke up the other, "she's that soft. Why, anybody could work her." "I'll go there," said Minna. "Have you the address?" It was told to her. "Lorin," she murmured. "Is that out of town?"
These scout skirmishers of Stransky's men of the 53d Regiment of the Browns made beckoning gestures as to a crowd, before they sprang over the hedge and ran swiftly, watchfully, toward the linden stumps, closely followed by their comrades. Soon the whole garden was overrun by the lean, businesslike fellows, their glances all ferret-like to the front. "Look, Minna!" exclaimed Marta.
