"I do not want to seem rebellious," I stammered, "but I wish to be relieved of this duty." "Very well," said Zimmern, "you may be relieved. If you have no objection I will sign the recommendation as it stands." Surely, I thought, this man does not seem very bitter toward my traitorous instincts. Zimmern smiled and eyed me curiously.
"I have an appointment to meet him tonight," said Hellar, "on the Level of Free Women. Will you not come along?" I could not well do otherwise than accept, and Hellar led me again to the apartment from which I had fled twenty-four hours before. There we found Zimmern, who received me with his usual graciousness. "I have already heard from Marguerite," said Zimmern, "of your success."
"It was that," said Marguerite, "or else I am to blame." "And what do you mean?" I asked. "I mean," she said, "that I took a great risk about which I must tell you, for it troubles my conscience. After I had sent for the Admiral and he had promised to come, I telephoned to Dr. Zimmern of my intention to get von Kufner to take me to the docks and my hope that I could come with you.
"But I shall remember," I said, giving him my hand. "I believe you will," said Zimmern feelingly, "and I know I can count on Marguerite. You will both have opportunities to see much of the officers of the Submarine Service. The German race may yet be freed from this sunless prison, if you can find one among them who can be won to our cause."
But I restrained my speech, for I realized that in criticizing her way of life I would be criticizing her obvious relation to Zimmern, and like all men I found myself inclined to be indulgent with the personal life of a man who was my friend. Moreover, I perceived the presumptuousness of assuming a superior air towards an established and accepted institution.
The first person who compared painting and poetry with one another was a man of refined feeling, who became aware of a similar effect produced upon himself by both arts. He felt both represent what is absent as if it were present, and appearance as if it were reality; that both deceived, and that the deception of both is pleasing. Translated by E. C. Beasley and Helen Zimmern.
"Then the books are lost to you," I said; "of that I am sorry, and I worried greatly while I was imprisoned." "Yes," said Zimmern, "we have lost the books, but you have saved Marguerite. That will more than compensate. For that I can never thank you enough." "And you were called into the matter, not," I said, "as Marguerite's friend, but as the physician to her mother?"
"God knows," I cried, "how I do want you to love me, but it must not be while Dr. Zimmern is alive and you " "So," said a voice and glancing up I saw Zimmern himself framed in the doorway of the book room. The old doctor looked from me to Marguerite, while a smile beamed on his courtly countenance. "Sit down and calm yourself, Armstadt," said Zimmern.
"Not at all," replied Zimmern; "it was the failure to confess the father, not the fact of her unwedded motherhood, that brought the punishment. There are many love-children born on the Royal Level and they suffer only a failure of inheritance of wealth from the father.
At the same time Catherine von Zimmern, abbess of Frauminster, gave up to the burgomaster and councils, under the assurance that she and the sisters would receive an adequate support, the convent along with its rights and revenues. The remaining cloisters were taken under the care of the government. Toward the Dominicans of the city the greatest severity had to be shown.
