As the lad left the cabin, the kettle was singing on the fire and there was a good smell of coffee in the room, for Nelle with the mill on her lap was crushing the black berries, which snapped cheerily. Madame Puzzel had unfastened the metal clasp of her big black-hooded cloak and taken her spectacle case and knitting from her basket.
"I delight to see them so happy." "Willingly," said Nelle. "Were we not the same in our own kissing days?" "Ah! Nelle, they are always kissing days when there are two, and when there is some little spot on earth where they can make a peaceful home." Tobias kissed his wife's cheeks; then, in her turn, Nelle gave him two big kisses which resounded like the snapping of dry firewood.
Riekje laughed quietly as she looked out of the corner of her eye. Suddenly Dolf gave a cry to surprise his mother, but Nelle had seen him come up, and just at the moment when he thought to look into the pot she put down the lid and nodded to him: "Who's caught now, Dolf?" But he cried out, laughing; "I saw that time, mother.
And you'll forgive me a special memory it's a million mothers like Nelle Reagan who never knew a stranger or turned a hungry person away from her kitchen door. We the people they refute last week's television commentary downgrading our optimism and our idealism.
Riekje and Dolf, sitting side by side on the same bench, took some apples from a basket, cored, and afterwards sliced them. Then Nelle went slyly to fetch a second saucepan from the cupboard and placed it on the fire; she poured in some warm water, adding flour, thyme, and laurel leaves.
More batter was quickly poured into the frying-pan, the butter bubbled, the fire roared, and round pancakes fell on the table as tench. "Now it's my turn, mother," cried Dolf, when the bowl was almost empty. Nelle sat down near Tobias and ate the two pancakes which she had kept for herself, because they were not quite so perfect as the others.
Franz gave him Albert's letter. "Read that," he said. The count read it. "Well, well!" said he. "Did you see the postscript?" "I did, indeed. "'Se alle sei della mattina le quattro mile piastre non sono nelle mie mani, alla sette il conte Alberto avra cessato di vivere. "'Luigi Vampa." "What think you of that?" inquired Franz. "Have you the money he demands?"
She took care first to rake out the ashes and to put some fagots of wood on the flames. When the stove began to roar again Nelle became serious and uncovered her batter. It had risen to the top of the pan, and was rich, thick, and fragrant, with here and there little bubbles on its surface.
Who was glad? Tell me, my Nelle." "Ah, Tobias! We sat hand in hand that evening till ten o'clock as we had sat together in the moonlight on the banks of the Scheldt before we were married. But we did other things, too, on that day, lots of other things. What did we do? Do you remember, Tobias?" "Oh! oh! we made golden apple pancakes; I can smell them now.
The portrait of the Pope may be seen in the Doria Gallery at Rome; for it is still esteemed an honor by the noble family to which the gallery belongs to be able to trace a relationship to a Pope, even though so vile a one as Innocent "Magis amat papa Olympiam quam Olympum" said Pasquin; and the pun still clings to the memory of him whom his authorized biographer calls "religiosissimo nelle cose divine e prudentissimo nelle umane."
