her voice�察�and made her general ignorance of anything



worth singing his pretext for the trouble he took。  That



was in the beginning。  After the first few lessons his own



pleasure and hers were pretext enough。  The singing came



at the end of the lesson hour�察�and they both treated it as



a form of relaxation。







     Harsanyi did not say much even to his wife about his



discovery。  He brooded upon it in a curious way。  He



found that these unscientific singing lessons stimulated



him in his own study。  After Miss Kronborg left him he



often lay down in his studio for an hour before dinner�察�with



his head full of musical ideas�察�with an effervescence in his



brain which he had sometimes lost for weeks together un´



der the grind of teaching。  He had never got so much back



for himself from any pupil as he did from Miss Kronborg。



From the first she had stimulated him�察�something in her



personality invariably affected him。  Now that he was



feeling his way toward her voice�察�he found her more in´



teresting than ever before。  She lifted the tedium of the



winter for him�察�gave him curious fancies and reveries。



Musically�察�she was sympathetic to him。  Why all this was















true�察�he never asked himself。  He had learned that one must



take where and when one can the mysterious mental ir´



ritant that rouses one's imagination�察�that it is not to be



had by order。  She often wearied him�察�but she never bored



him。  Under her crudeness and brusque hardness�察�he felt



there was a nature quite different�察�of which he never got so



much as a hint except when she was at the piano�察�or when



she sang。  It was toward this hidden creature that he was



trying�察�for his own pleasure�察�to find his way。  In short��



Harsanyi looked forward to his hour with Thea for the



same reason that poor Wunsch had sometimes dreaded



his�察�because she stirred him more than anything she did



could adequately explain。







     One afternoon Harsanyi�察�after the lesson�察�was standing



by the window putting some collodion on a cracked finger��



and Thea was at the piano trying over ;Die Lorelei;



which he had given her last week to practice。  It was scarcely



a song which a singing master would have given her�察�but



he had his own reasons。  How she sang it mattered only to



him and to her。  He was playing his own game now�察�without



interference�察�he suspected that he could not do so always。







     When she finished the song�察�she looked back over her



shoulder at him and spoke thoughtfully。  ;That wasn't



right�察�at the end�察�was it�拭�







     ;No�察�that should be an open�察�flowing tone�察�something



like this�察�he waved his fingers rapidly in the air。  ;You



get the idea�拭�







     ;No�察�I don't。  Seems a queer ending�察�after the rest。;







     Harsanyi corked his little bottle and dropped it into the



pocket of his velvet coat。  ;Why so�拭 �Shipwrecks come and



go�察�MARCHEN come and go�察�but the river keeps right on。



There you have your open�察�flowing tone。;







     Thea looked intently at the music。  ;I see�察─�she said



dully。  ;Oh�察�I see� ─�she repeated quickly and turned to



him a glowing countenance。  ;It is the river。  Oh�察�yes��



I get it now� ─ �She looked at him but long enough to catch















his glance�察�then turned to the piano again。  Harsanyi was



never quite sure where the light came from when her face



suddenly flashed out at him in that way。  Her eyes were



too small to account for it�察�though they glittered like green



ice in the sun。  At such moments her hair was yellower�察�her



skin whiter�察�her cheeks pinker�察�as if a lamp had suddenly



been turned up inside of her。  She went at the song again��











          ;ICH WEISS NICHT�察�WAS SOLL ES BEDEUTEN��



              DAS ICH SO TRAURIG BIN。;











     A kind of happiness vibrated in her voice。  Harsanyi no´



ticed how much and how unhesitatingly she changed her



delivery of the whole song�察�the first part as well as the last。



He had often noticed that she could not think a thing out



in passages。  Until she saw it as a whole�察�she wandered like



a blind man surrounded by torments。  After she once had



her ;revelation�察─�after she got the idea that to hernot



always to himexplained everything�察�then she went for´



ward rapidly。  But she was not always easy to help。  She



was sometimes impervious to suggestion�察�she would stare



at him as if she were deaf and ignore everything he told her



to do。  Then�察�all at once�察�something would happen  in her



brain and she would begin to do all that he had been for



weeks telling her to do�察�without realizing that he had ever



told her。







     To´night Thea forgot Harsanyi and his finger。  She



finished the song only to begin it with fresh enthusiasm。











          ;UND DAS HAT MIT IHREM SINGEN



              DIE LORELEI GETHAN。;











     She sat there singing it until the darkening room was so



flooded with it that Harsanyi threw open a window。







     ;You really must stop it�察�Miss Kronborg。  I shan't be



able to get it out of my head to´night。;







     Thea laughed tolerantly as she began to gather up her



music。  ;Why�察�I thought you had gone�察�Mr。 Harsanyi。  I



like that song。;



















     That evening at dinner Harsanyi sat looking intently



into a glass of heavy yellow wine�察�boring into it�察�indeed��



with his one eye�察�when his face suddenly broke into a



smile。







     ;What is it�察�Andor�拭─�his wife asked。







     He smiled again�察�this time at her�察�and took up the nut´



crackers and a Brazil nut。  ;Do you know�察─�he said in a



tone so intimate and confidential that he might have been



speaking to himself�察�do you know�察�I like to see Miss



Kronborg get hold of an idea。  In spite of being so talented��



she's not quick。  But when she does get an idea�察�it fills her



up to the eyes。  She had my room so reeking of a song this



afternoon that I couldn't stay there。;







     Mrs。 Harsanyi looked up quickly�察 ─�Die Lorelei��' you



mean�拭 �One couldn't think of anything else anywhere in



the house。  I thought she was possessed。  But don't you



think her voice is wonderful sometimes�拭�







     Harsanyi tasted his wine slowly。  ;My dear�察�I've told



you before that I don't know what I think about Miss



Kronborg�察�except that I'm glad there are not two of her。



I sometimes wonder whether she is not glad。  Fresh as she



is at it all�察�I've occasionally fancied that�察�if she knew how��



she would like todiminish。;  He moved his left hand



out into the air as if he were suggesting a DIMINUENDO to



an orchestra。



























                                 V











     BY the first of February Thea had been in Chicago al´



most four months�察�and she did not know much more



about the city than if she had never quitted Moonstone。



She was�察�as Harsanyi said�察�incurious。  Her work took most



of her time�察�and she found that she had to sleep a good



deal。  It had never before been so hard to get up in the



morning。  She had the bother of caring for her room�察�and



she had to build her fire and bring up her coal。  Her routine



was frequently interrupted by a message from Mr。 Larsen



summoning her to sing at a funeral。  Every funeral took



half a day�察�and the time had to be made up。  When Mrs。



Harsanyi asked her if it did not depress her to sing at fu´



nerals�察�she replied that she ;had been brought up to go



to funerals and didn't mind。;







     Thea never went into shops unless she had to�察�and she



felt no interest in them。  Indeed�察�she shunned them�察�as



places where one was sure to be parted from one's money



in some way。  She was nervous about counting her change��



and she could not accustom herself to having her purchases



sent to her address。  She felt much safer with her bundles



under her arm。







     During this first winter Thea got no city consciousness。



Chicago was simply a wilderness through which one had to



find one's way。  She felt no interest in the general briskness



and zest of the crowds。  The crash and scramble of that



big�察�rich�察�appetent Western city she did not take in at all��



except to notice that the noise of the drays and street´cars



tired her。  The brilliant window displays�察�the splendid furs



and stuffs�察�the gorgeous flower´shops�察�the gay candy´shops��



she scarcely noticed。  At Christmas´time she did feel some



curiosity about the toy´stores�察�and she wished she held















Thor's little mittened fist in her hand as she stood before



the windows。  The jewelers' windows�察�too�察�had a strong



attraction for hershe had always liked bright stones。



When she went into the city she used to brave the biting



lake winds and stand gazing in at the displays of diamonds



and pearls and emeralds�察�the tiaras and necklaces and ear´



rings�察�on white velvet。  These seemed very well worth



while to her�察�things worth coveting。







     Mrs。 Lorch and Mrs。 Andersen often told each other



it was strange that Miss Kronborg had so little initiative



about ;visiting points of interest。;  When Thea came



to live with them she had expressed a wish to see two



places�此�Montgomery Ward and Company's big mail´order



store�察�and the packing´houses�察�to which all the hogs and
