Mucks, knowing that all conversation was irrevocably closed after his prayers were said, would try every night to prolong this period.

well mux you don't seem to be able to get over the cabbage to-day go to sleep for you have talked enough about it mux knew then that nothing could be done that day after his evening prayer and a kiss from his mother he lay down and was fast asleep before his mother had even shut the door agnes had just finished her last task and was throwing her books into a drawer each more violently than the other she was still terribly excited and as soon as her mother came back into the room she burst forth oh mother if i am not allowed to study music any more i would rather stop learning anything why can't i become a servant girl i could do the work well enough as soon as i have earned enough money i'll buy a harp and then i can wander from house to house singing and playing i can easily live like that nobody needs to be a dressmaker people can wear petticoats and jackets that is enough and those can be woven all other children are better off than we are they can learn what they please and we can't learn anything an outburst of tears choked all further words during her sister's speech nika had been quietly drawing but she was holding her head lower and lower over her work without once looking up She continued her studies, but her eyes seemed to be filling.
