He then gave the further directions which Crappy Zachy had recommended, and enjoined the strictest secrecy. After supper, however, Rose could not refrain from asking Barefoot, if, in case of her marrying, she would not go with her as her maid; she would give her double wages, and at the same time she would then not have to cross the Rhine and work in a factory.
Damie's whining and sensitive nature was very disgusting to Crappy Zachy, and he tried to cure him of it by giving him plenty to cry about and teasing him whenever he could. Thus the two little stems which had sprouted in the same garden were transplanted into different soils.
Crappy Zachy had led Damie there by the hand, but Amrei had come alone, without Black Marianne; many were angry at the hard-hearted woman, while a few hit a part of the truth when they said that Marianne did not like to visit graves, because she did not know where her husband's grave was.
Crappy Zachy, who had a wooden leg, spent most of his time knitting woolen stockings and jackets; and with his knitting he used to sit about in the village wherever there was any opportunity to gossip. This gossiping, in the course of which he heard all sorts of news, was a source of some very profitable side-business for him.

"I know that!" cried the farmer, with a sneer. "But why shouldn't he bring home one who is good and has plenty of coin into the bargain?"
And, in truth, a large wagon decorated with green boughs was just driving through the village. Seated in the wagon were all the musicians; in the midst of them stood Crappy Zachy blowing his trumpet as if he were trying to wake the dead. And now there was no more staying in the village; every one was hastening to be up and away.
Amrei also looked at him, and asked Crappy Zachy: "Is that a bridegroom?" "Why?" "Because he has a ribbon in his button-hole." Instead of answering her, the first thing that Crappy Zachy did was to go up to a group of people and tell them what a stupid speech the child had made; and from among the graves there arose a loud laugh over her foolishness.
Zachy Jackson they'll say which is my name, sir, if yer requirin' a good 'orse any time o' day. Zachy Jackson! which there ain't no man, tarkin' of 'orses, fit to touch 'im, they'll tell yer and not far wrong either."
