Awed into calm, Averil let him seat her beside him, and put her in possession of the main facts of the case, Minna standing by him, her hand in his, evidently understanding and feeling all that passed. Neither could throw light on anything. Leonard had been less communicative to them than to Aubrey, and had kept his resolution of uncomplainingly drinking the brewst he had brewed for himself.
This, as well as the arduous part I took in the business of the theatre, kept me so busy and so much away from home, that I was not able to pay any particular attention to Minna's silence and reserve. On the morning of the 31st of May I took leave of Minna, expecting to be detained till late in the afternoon by rehearsals and business matters.
"The giant who carried the old man in pickaback the first night of the war!" "Yes, the bold impudence of him!" said Minna. "As if there was nothing that could stand in his way and what he wanted he would have!" But Minna was flushing as she spoke. The flush dissipated and she drew up her chin when Stransky, looking around, recognized her with a merry, confident wave of his hand.
When this young man entered the Café Nürnberg being drawn thither by its display of the name of his own native city and asked for a job, his air was so frank, his talk about baking so intelligent, that Gottlieb took kindly to him at once; and Minna, sitting demurely at her accounts in the little wire cage over which was a fine tin sign inscribed in golden letters with the word "Cashier," was mightily well pleased, in a demure and proper way, at sight of his ruddy cheeks and bushy shock of light-brown hair and little yellow mustache and honest blue eyes.
His expression changed instantly for the better, when Minna approached and spoke to him. "Don't you remember me, Hans?" she said. "Oh, yes, Missie, I remember you. You are a good creature. You take after your papa. He was a good creature except when he had his beastly medical bottles in his hand. But, I say, I mustn't be called by the name they gave me at the University!
"I should like," she faltered, "to have a room a bed for the night. One of those for fifteen cents will be good enough, I think." "Well, this place is only for men," said the man, looking up from the lamp. "Oh," said Minna, "oh I I didn't know." She looked at him stupidly, and he, with equal stupidity, returned the gaze. Thus, for a long moment, they held each other's eyes.
"Oh, my suspicion is true!" cried Minna; "I have long known it he has no shadow!" And she threw herself into her mother's arms, who, convulsively clasping her to her bosom, reproached her for having so long, to her hurt, kept such a secret. But, like the fabled Arethusa, her tears, as from a fountain, flowed more abundantly, and her sobs increased at my approach.
One day, early in April, 1917, Vivie was standing in a corridor of the Hôpital de St. Pierre talking to Minna von Stachelberg.
You spoiled a lot of fun for the valley." "But it would not have been right," says Minna. "It would truly have been the blackest of tragedies to a man of Mr. Gale's sensitive fibres. You can't enter into his feelings because you never taught primary. Also, I think he is very far from being a poor zany, as you have chosen to call him."
Nothing happened that could have been construed as illegal. The passion between the child and the old man aroused the jealousy of old Mrs. Minna von Mondmilch. After the marital discord had become too burdensome, the angered civil servant felt compelled to agree one year later to a separation from his ward. He also had to consider his daughter, who had become a young woman. The parting was hard.
