"

Yes

;

immediately

"

;

the

waitress

opens

the

trapdoor

,

and

looks

down

into

the

kitchen

.

But

suppose

the

affair

did

crop

up

some

day

?

If

the

shop-boy

were

to

get

suspicious

and

begin

to

think

over

the

transaction

about

the

bread

,

and

the

florin

of

which

the

woman

got

the

change

?

It

was

not

impossible

that

he

would

discover

it

some

day

,

perhaps

the

next

time

I

went

there

.

Well

,

then

,

Lord

!

...

I

shrugged

my

shoulders

unobserved

.

"

If

you

please

,

"

says

the

waitress

,

kindly

placing

the

beef

on

the

table

,

"

would

n't

you

rather

go

to

another

compartment

,

it

's

so

dark

here

?

"

"

No

,

thanks

;

just

let

me

be

here

,

"

I

reply

;

her

kindliness

touches

me

at

once

.

I

pay

for

the

beef

on

the

spot

,

put

whatever

change

remains

into

her

hand

,

close

her

fingers

over

it

.

She

smiles

,

and

I

say

in

fun

,

with

the

tears

near

my

ears

,

"

There

,

you

're

to

have

the

balance

to

buy

yourself

a

farm

...

.

Ah

,

you

're

very

welcome

to

it

.

"

I

commenced

to

eat

,

got

more

and

more

greedy

I

as

I

did

so

,

swallowed

whole

pieces

without

chewing

them

,

enjoyed

myself

in

an

animal-like

way

at

every

mouthful

,

and

tore

at

the

meat

like

a

cannibal

.

The

waitress

came

over

to

me

again

.

"

Will

you

have

anything

to

drink

?

"

she

asks

,

bending

down

a

little

towards

me

.

I

looked

at

her

.

She

spoke

very

low

,

almost

shyly

,

and

dropped

her

eyes

.

"

I

mean

a

glass

of

ale

,

or

whatever

you

like

best

...

from

me

...

without

...

that

is

,

if

you

will

...

.

"

"

No

;

many

thanks

,

"

I

answer

.

"

Not

now

;

I

shall

come

back

another

time

.

"

She

drew

back

,

and

sat

down

at

the

desk

.

I

could

only

see

her

head

.

What

a

singular

creature

!

When

finished

,

I

made

at

once

for

the

door

.

I

felt

nausea

already

.

The

waitress

got

up

.

I

was

afraid

to

go

near

the

light

--

afraid

to

show

myself

too

plainly

to

the

young

girl

,

who

never

for

a

moment

suspected

the

depth

of

my

misery

;

so

I

wished

her

a

hasty

good-night

,

bowed

to

her

,

and

left

.
