"Why should I be moved, Mr. Gottlieb? It will have to occur sometime,"
said Nanna innocently.
"And yet--"
"What yet!"
"You are a good girl."
"Ah, but don't you remember the agreement?"
"Yes, and I only intended to remark that it would not be difficult for
you to adhere to it."
"Does that displease you, sir?" inquired Nanna in a tone of displeasure
which was the more pertinent as it was foreign to her usual manner.
"Certainly not, Miss Nanna, on the contrary I am delighted that you
should follow my advice so faithfully--either of the young ladies at the
parsonage are suitable."
"Did you refer to one of those?" inquired Nanna, her countenance
assuming a deathly paleness, "O they are so beautiful."
"Yes, perfectly angelic--especially Miss--Miss--what is her name?"
"You probably allude to Miss Charlotte."
"Right, Miss Charlotte, whose hair is so black and beautiful."
"O, no, that is Sophia!" exclaimed Nanna.
"Well then, Miss Sophia, I prefer her."
"But why is it that you changed their names?" inquired Nanna.
