the sky was covered with dark clouds.
When / got tired I lay down on the
green moss and looked up into the
branches of the oaks and beeches
above my head. Suddenl hear dull
rumbHng in the distance, ami In
twinkling I was on my feet, for Kath-
arine had instilIed into me a super
gtitiOus dread Of thundeT-s storms, and
had declared to me, by everything
that was sacred, that every one who
happened to be in the woods during
thunderstorm was invariably struck
by lightning. Taking my kitten in my
arms, I ran back the way by which l
had come, as if the witches we're
after me. In few minutes a yellow
light flashed through the dark foliage
and a frightfuI crash followed; the
trees bent and rustled in the storm.
1 pressed the kitten closer to me and
few on faster than before. Suddenly
I perceived that l had strayed from
the path. / had just crossed a little
bridge made of the trunks of trees,
and found myself in a broad avenue,
at the end of which the dark old
castle peeped out through the trees;
was in the Bendeleben Park.
ITO turn back was not to be thought
Of, especially as a more vivid fash
and a heavier crash came just then,
so / ran along the avenue in breath
less haste straight to the castle, and
before 7 knew how it happened, ! was
standing on the terrace before tie
door, looking round me with terrified
eyes. A lad came out Of the
door, evidently with the intention Of
looking at the weather, for she did
not perceive me. In my terror [ for
got my usual shyness, and ran to her,
catching her by the dress, and sob
bling: Oh, take Peter and me in, we
are so aWful'y afraid
The lady looked down at me in
surprise, then she smiled, and, taking
me by the hand and leading me into
the garden hall, she said, How in the
world did you get here, child? Are
you not the pastors Gretchen%
