The driving road ends at the cemetery.
But she had no power to make things better. I felt that I was a beast of burden, fed only in order that I might be useful; and the dull life irked me like an ill-fitting harness. There was nothing in it. "I went to my father and claimed my share of the inheritance. He was rich. He gave it to me. It did not impoverish him and it made me free.
"Verily," cried Brunhild, "Gunther shall hear of it." "What is that to me? Thine arrogancy hath deceived thee. Thou hast called me thy vassal. Know now of a truth it hath irked me, and I am thine enemy evermore." Then Brunhild began to weep, and Kriemhild tarried not longer, but went with her attendants into the minster before the king's wife.

The boy swallowed the rising lump in his throat but could find no more words to go on with. But in his heart there was the resolve that he would make an honest try to do for his father's sake what he would not for his own. But before a month had gone he was heartily sick of the office. It was indoors, and the petty fussing with trivial details irked him.
