"May the blessing of God enter our house, with his Word!" said Madame Tube, solemnly. They were all silent for a few moments, when Madelaine spoke, "I ought also to go to good Master Teuzer, mother I am sure he will employ me again." She went, and after a considerable time returned, knocked at the door, and called to her mother to open it she entered quite loaded.
The little girl took from her apron, which she held up, a china cup, broken into two pieces "I only wished to ask you," said she, in a sad voice, "if you can mend this cup so that the crack will not be seen." Teuzer examined the pieces attentively, they were of fine china, and ornamented with painted flowers.
Wundel had left them, Madame Tube said to her children, "How many benevolent men we have met with! Master Teuzer; the king's minister; Dr. Wundel, and the Prince Royal and only two who sought to injure us our landlord, and Teuzer's apprentice." "Mother, mother," cried Madelaine, much excited, and pointing to the road; "there he is, there he is." "Who, where?" asked her mother.
Very early on the following morning the child returned. "I told you," said Teuzer, frowning, "that you could not have your cup for five days." "It is not for that I have come," replied the child, "but I have brought you something else to mend," and she took from her apron the pieces of a brown jar.
Teuzer laughed again, and said, "We can do nothing with this you think it is china because it is glazed, but it is from the Waldenburg pottery, and quite a different clay from ours. It would be a fine thing indeed if we could mend all the broken jars in Dresden, we should then be soon obliged to shut up shop, and eat dry bread throw away the pieces, child."
Soon after the departure of Master Teuzer, the landlord arrived: he spoke roughly to the poor woman. "How is this? How dare you send that potter to me? Did I force you to take this room? If it does not suit you, why do you not leave it? The stove has lasted for thirty years, and I certainly shall not buy a new one for you." On hearing these invectives, Raphael had hidden behind his mother's bed.
"Remark," said Madame Tube to her children, "how true it is, that sooner or later, all evil is punished. But how did Robert happen to join the smugglers?" "Master Teuzer sent him away at Christmas," replied Madelaine, "in consequence of the shameful falsehoods he spread his next master discovered that he sold his goods and retained the money after leaving him, I suppose, he joined the smugglers."
Yes, yes, people are often so poor, so poor, and when one comes to inquire, they keep dogs, cats, or birds; and yet they will ask for alms." So the little girl had to go away without the jar; however, she returned at the end of four days for her cup. The crack could scarcely be perceived, and Teuzer asked sixpence for mending it.
"Come! boys," said Master Teuzer, a potter of Dresden, to his work people, who had just finished their breakfast, consisting of coffee and black bread, "Come! to work." He stood up; the work people did the same, and went into the adjoining work-shop, where each of them placed himself at a bench. "Who is knocking at the door?" said the Master, interrupting the silence which reigned.
