So at least its obstinate silence might fairly be interpreted. The next day Margaret put Reicht in charge of the shop, and disappeared all day. So the next day, and so the next. Nor would she tell any one where she had been. Perhaps she was ashamed. The fact is, she spent all those days on one little spot of ground.
When they had subjected poor Luke to this double artillery for a couple of years, he got to look upon Margaret as his fog and wind, and Reicht as his sunshine; and his affections transferred themselves, he scarce knew how or when. On the wedding day Reicht embraced Margaret, and thanked her almost with tears. "He was always my fancy," said she, "from the first hour I clapped eyes on him."
I do hate them, they drove him from me. And even when he was gone, their hearts turned not to me as they would an if they had repented their cruelty to him." The Van Eyck was perplexed. At last she made a confidante of Reicht. The secret ran through Reicht, as through a cylinder, to Catherine. "Ay, and is she turned that bitter against us?" said that good woman.
She was in that state of mind in which affectionate mothers have been known to kill their children, sometimes along with themselves, sometimes alone, which last is certainly maniacal, She ran to Reicht Heynes pale and trembling, and clasped her round the neck, "Oh, Reicht! oh, Reicht!" and could say no more.
Two of the older girls seize the figure by the arms and walk in front: all the rest follow two and two. Boys may take no part in the procession, but they troop after it gazing with open-mouthed admiration at the "beautiful Death."

"The candles are to burn before his saint," whispered Reicht solemnly.
"What aboot it, lassy?" said a young fisherman; "it's Antonio I'm feared for; save him, lassy, if poessible; but I doot ye'll no get him clear o' yon deevelich heathen. "Auld Sandy's cheap sairved," added he, with all the indifference a human tone could convey. "Oh, Cursty," said Lizzie Johnstone, with a peevish accent, "dinna break the bonny yarn for naething." "He's a' reicht." Christie.
And this is the cape to't." "Ot's it for?" "To keep his body from the cold; and the cape is for his shoulders, or to go over his head like the country folk. 'Tis for a hermit." "Ot's a 'ermit?" "A holy man that lives in a cave all by himself." "In de dark?" "Ay, whiles." "Oh." In the morning Reicht was sent to the hermit with the pelisse, and a pound of thick candles.
"Of all the absurdity, and insolence of this ridiculous sex " Then Denys observed somewhat drily, that the female to whom he had addressed himself was mute; and the others, on whose eloquence there was no immediate demand, were fluent: on this the voices stopped, and the eyes turned pivot-like upon Reicht.
By a will she had made a year before, she left all her property, after her funeral expenses and certain presents to Reicht Heynes, to her dear daughter Margaret Brandt, requesting her to keep Reicht as long as unmarried.
