The Girl from the Marsh Croft Page #3

---

Take a seat.

I saved some soup for you.

You can eat it right now.

I won't get the money.

I canceled the lawsuit.

We already know, Helga.

Somebody who was in court

came to see us.

Here, these shoes are for you.

For me?

What's that sign?

Father says it'll bring you luck.

I have something for you too.

I got a new job,

as a maid for the Dittmars.

What is it?

Why aren't you joining

us for lunch?

Are we treating you that bad?

I've never been so well off.

Seeing you,

one might think that isn't true.

You hide and crawl away

like you weren't one of us.

I talked to my Mother.

If you want,

we could

take care of your child.

No, the child is staying

at my mother's sister.

She says, I'm too

young to raise a child.

She says, I've

got nothing to do with it.

But it's not only the child...

I'm missing.

Well, I probably can't help you then.

Gertrud!

Karsten!

I've been to

the Marshland Farm, yesterday.

Your home is beautiful, Helga,

when summer hits the swamp.

At night,

fog fills the trenches.

The rushes are getting hard.

You can smell it,

throughout the entire swamp

and you hear voices,

if you listen carefully enough.

Say it ain't so, Helga?

Your parents would take you back, Helga

if you wanted to return.

No, I can't,.. I can't!

I've got a job, here.

You know, Karsten,

I've got good news for you.

I talked to Father.

Did he say yes?

Tomorrow, he wants to see the farm

I'm going to get married on.

What if he doesn't like it?

He will like it.

You can count on that!

Then, he'll arrange the marriage

with your parents.

Gertrud!

Mother is going to be surprised!

- Helga!

- Yes?

Mrs. Dittmar?

- I want to ask you a favor.

- Go on!

I wanted to ask, if I

visit home, one night.

To the swamp? Quickly then,

else you'll be walking at night.

Thank you very much!

Don't forget to give the horses

their water, before you leave.

Mother!

- Hello, Gertrud!

- Hello, ma'am!

It's not what you're used to,

but it's cozy too

don't you think?

The only thing the Dittmar Farm

is missing is a wife for Karsten,

and I decided to fix that.

You deserve a good fresh cup of coffee!

Don't, Mother,

let Helga do the coffee.

I sent her home.

She wanted to visit her parents.

I can help!

Where do you keep the coffee?

Here.

I would have loved

to hear what you think about Helga.

- You have a new maid?

- Yes, Helga Christmann.

She's here, now?

From the Marshland Farm.

It's nothing serious, Helga.

Don't worry about me.

You will have to leave now,

it's getting dark outside.

I know,

I have to leave now.

If only you'd tell me

what's wrong with you.

Nothing. Nobody can help me.

Are you homesick?

You're much better off
