There they retired to the niche formed by the deep walls of the broad central window of the house, and Herr Berthold Pfinzing whispered to his wife: "There was too much philanthropy and kindness for me in there. A great deal of honey at once cloys me. But you, prophetess, foresaw what is now occurring, and I, too, scarcely expected anything different.
Ursula, to be sure, was no subject now of his gracious Majesty's; yet would he, Christian Pfinzing, know no rest till the Emperor had compelled her father, Jost Tetzel, to cut off from her who had married an Italian, the possessions she counted on from a German city.
Here she hesitated; for from the adjoining room they heard a man's deep voice telling Els something in loud, excited tones. This interruption was welcome to the abbess; she had as yet found no answer to her niece's startling objection. Eva answered her questioning glance with the exclamation, "Uncle Pfinzing!"

Eva and her sister would be again mentioned in the investigation, and were even threatened with an examination.
She kept her sister away whilst the corpse was being laid out and the women were performing their other duties by asking Eva to receive their Aunt Christine, the wife of Berthold Pfinzing, who had hurried to the city from Schweinau as soon as she had news of her sister-in-law's death.
