Volmer killed the chicken once, and Hang brought it to me with eyes blazing said it was poor and "He ole-ee hin," so I found that the only way to satisfy the suspicious man was to let him select his own fowl. He always cooks it in the one way boils it with Chinese fruits and herbs, and with the head and feet on and I must admit that the odor is appetizing.
The property was for sale, yes, and cheap, dirt cheap; so the transaction was partly arranged, and Volmer Holm went home to his wife and four children with quite a happy heart that day. "It's too bad about Volmer Holm," said Rupert to his sister. "I had not heard of his misfortune. Such a genius in music, too." "Well, I don't know," answered Nina, "it may be all for the best.
It is the striker's duty always to attend to the fires throughout the house, and this Volmer is doing very nicely. But when Faye went away he told Hang to take good care of me so he, also, fixes the fires, and at the same time shows his dislike for Volmer, who will bring the big wood in and make the fires as they should be.
"Yes, I think that no man should so drown himself in one thing that he is absolutely dead to everything else. Mr. Holm does that. Volmer worships nothing but music." Rupert filled the basket and they sauntered back. "A more beautiful god I cannot imagine," she said, half aloud. Rupert turned with an inquiring look on his face, but he got nothing more from her, as she was busy with a peach.
That will bring him out if there is anything in him." There was a pause in the conversation; then Rupert remarked carefully, as if feeling his way: "Yes, there's talent in Volmer, but he makes music his god, which I think is wrong." "Do you think so?" she asked. What that expression meant, it was hard to say.
She was educated, businesslike, and a leader, and he, ambitious of attaining to something in the world, would need such a woman for his wife. But that sting which Volmer Holm had given him! His wife must be beyond suspicion. He could not afford to make a mistake, for if he did, it would be the mistake of his life. But was it a sin for a girl to sing in an opera? Certainly not.
I found Volmer perched upon one end of a large wood box that stands close to a door that leads out to a shed. I said: "Volmer, I heard what you have been saying, as you intended I should, and now I tell you to go out of this house and stay out, until you can speak respectfully of Lieutenant Rae and of me." But he sat still and looked sullen and stubborn.
Of course I cried a little, but I knew that I had done quite right, that it was better for me to regulate my own affairs than to call upon the company commander to do so for me. I returned to the dining room, but soon there was a gentle knock on the door, and opening it, I saw Volmer standing in front of me, cap in hand, looking very meek and humble.
We now can partly understand that glorious truth taught us, that 'spirit and element, inseparably connected, receiveth a fulness of joy." Alice was playing with the fishes and the swans in the garden, and the husband and wife were sitting by an open window, gazing out upon the city. "Brother Volmer has not been to see us yet," said he. "You remember he was our brother Sardus?"
There were cake and ice-cream and peaches peaches of all kinds, large and small, white and yellow, juicy and dry; for this was a peach party, and everybody was supposed to eat, at least, half a dozen. The band, with Volmer Holm as leader, furnished the music; and beautiful it was, as it echoed from the porch out over the assembly on the lawn.
