"'Ah' Susanna, have you quite re

Sturmer.
Anna Maria turned and looked out
toward the garden.
Pastor Grune inquired after the
health of the young girl. and soon
they all came out on the terrace.
Susanna went up to Anna Maria az
once, and held out her hand, saying:
Forgive me for having frightened
you this morning. | do not know how

Rosamond stammered Susanna
shyly and so she has hired little
room there at the blacksmiths. But
she SAYS she does not notice the noise
OF the forge at all: her windows look
out on the castle garden, and that is
wonderful, she says. She may live
there. may she not?' she added, be-
seechingly; It is certainly far enough
from here
"'Of course she can live where
she pleases, Susanna said L. we

Meanwhile Brockelmann had set
the table for supper on the terrace
and we seated ourselves. Candles
were now burning on the table, and
their unsteady. ilickering light fell on
Susanna's beautiful pale face. Her
white dress was made quite fresh
again. and even the withered roses
were replaced by fresh ones; one
could see that the old Isabella had
been helping the child

plainly than his trembling voice

Anna Maria sat silent opposite
her. and not the falutest smile passed
over her lips; this graceful trifing
was decidedly unpleasant to her. But
Susanna had the majority ON her side
for even honest old Pastor Grune did
not conceal the fact that he was
fascinated by her.
