If I was in his place I'd turn my back on you and tell you to whistle for me if you wanted me." "He's free to do it, Auntie, and you don't know but I wish he would," said Freneli. "No you don't," retorted her aunt; "I can hear that in your voice. And Uli, if you're not a stupid, you'll put your arms around her this minute; she won't shove you out into the room now, trust me."
But then she became alarmed and said she wouldn't force the girl; if she was unwilling to have Uli she could do what she liked for all of her. Only for goodness sake she shouldn't go on so; the innkeepers might wonder what was happening. Finally Freneli recovered enough to tell them just to leave her in peace; that she would try to compose herself.
The cleaning of the grain took more time than usual, and yet they were through quicker and the grain was better cleaned; but they had exerted themselves more, too, and in consequence had felt the cold less. When Uli told the master how much grain he had obtained, the latter said that they had never done so much this year and yet today they had been threshing the fallen grain.
The order was brought, but Uli was missing. The hostess had been sent out after him, and came back and said she had told him; but still he did not come. Then the mistress said, "Go, Freneli, and tell him to come at once." Freneli hesitated and thought they oughtn't to compel him; if he was hungry or thirsty he'd come all right. "If you won't go," said her aunt, "I'll have to go myself."
If you thought something different, things would go better. For everything still depends on what a man believes." "But for goodness gracious sake, master," said Uli, "how should I get rich? Think how little my pay is, and how many clothes I need; and I have debts to boot. What's the use of saving? And can't I have any fun?"
To carry on a household well, there must be harmony in it. Once you've got a wife and the two of you choose a place to buy or let that suits you both, you've gained a lot. Or have you something of the kind under way?" "No," said Uli. "I know of one, but she wouldn't take me." "Why not?" asked Johannes. "Is it another rich farmer's daughter?" "No," said Uli, "it's the girl that came along today.
He'd have to make room for it first, growled the fellow, and shot in among his horses like a hawk in a pigeon-house, so that they dashed at their mangers and kicked, and Uli only by constant "Whoas" and at risk of life got Blazer into the last stall. There he could find no halter for a time. "Should have brought one," was the carter's remark.
She could go either to her son or her daughter, whichever she wished! Uli would drive her, for he had plenty of time now, said he. No, she didn't want to go there, she said; there was everlasting quarreling there, and even if she filled her pockets with thalers, she wouldn't have enough.
He knew that well, said Uli; but that would have been presuming, and the distance was too great beside, for they were going back today; he had his hands full now. But he begged that they would come; otherwise he would have to think they were ashamed of them. "What are you thinking of, Uli?" exclaimed the mistress; "why, you know how much we think of you.
"I don't know yet," said Uli; "I haven't been in a hurry to take a place, although I could have had several." "Well then, stay with us; that's the best thing for both of us; we're accustomed to each other now." "I hope you won't take it ill of me," he said; "but I don't intend to be a servant any more." "Have you something else?" she asked. "No," he answered.
