"Now be thou silent and hear what
I shall tell thee," she says, with it
rasping voice, and, grasping Hannah
by the sleeve, forces her to sit down
again.
"Listen," she continued, "I shall
tell thee all, and God in heaven alone
will hear us!"
Hannah sat down again.
"wh en my husband dirt!," Grena
began.
"How art thou speaking, Grena?"
"Ilow shall I speak?"
"Without 'Trace be upon him?'
Thou dust not say, 'His spirit was
raisrel to heaven?'"
"It is all the same—whether he
died or whether his soul was raised to
heaven—he was buried."
"Joined the graves of mu fathers."
"As thou wilt—joined the graves of
our fathers—but he left we with three
orphans—daughters."
"Oh, a pity! Left no son to mourn
him."
"Three daughters, the oldest—"
"Griselda—"
"Fourteen years old—"
"Old enough to become a bride."
"We bad no bread! A betrothal,
a party. was out of the question—"
"How art thou speaking—my heart-
ache is speaking. Griselda, thou must
know, was the prettiest girl in the
town."
"Still the prettiest—God bless her?"
"Now, she is sour, grayhaired. But
then she was as bright as the sun-
and—then I was the pious scribe's
widow—I guarded her as the pupil of
my eye. I never allowed her to take
one step from the house without me."
"Well, very good."
"Good as life." answered Grena,
bitterly. "Come home to me and see
what she looks like now! Yes. she
is truly a virtuous maiden, but thirty-
six years old! Thin—thou couldst
count her bones: a face sour, sad; lips
always drawn. Very often those dull
eyes blaze up then burn with hatred
—and dost thou know for whom?
Dust thou know whom she despises.
whom those muttering lips curse?"
"11:horn?"
"Me! Me. her own mother!"
"What art thou saying? Why?"
"Perhaps she, herself, does not
know why, but I knowl I have placed
myself between her and the world,
between her and the sun. I have—
how shall I say it ?—allowed no
warmth no light to touch her body.
Night after night I have thought of
this, till I fathomed it, clearly fath-
omed it. She must hate me—every
fiber of her body hates me!"
