The Girl from the Marsh Croft Page #2

---

If that guy is the only on

to separate me from you...

We can have lunch in peace!

It's ok, Gertrud.

As long as your father won't invite me,

I'll prefer to eat at home.

It is time to decide

if he's going to get

married or not.

Karsten would be a lucky man,

but the bailiff wants

his daughter to marry a rich man.

Don't you think?

Maybe you should visit

the bailiff and talk to him.

But you never say a word anyway.

She's rich,

she's beautiful and she loves him.

If those 2 don't get married,

it's your fault.

It would be so wonderful!

Marriage, it's like bacon.

If it's meager, it still tastes good,

but it isn't real bacon.

Hello, Mother.

Hello, Karsten.

Hello, Father.

Dinner is almost ready, Karsten.

Gertrud sends her regards to you.

You met her?

So, how did her father treat you?

He's not too happy.

The important thing is that

Gertrud is happy.

She will have her way, eventually.

Did you find me a maid?

There were no suitable maids

on that market.

But then I went to the court.

- The court?

- Yes.

A girl had a lawsuit.

At first, nobody liked her,

she has a bad reputation.

But then...

the judge himself

shook her hand.

Who was it?

Helga Christmann,

from the Marshland Farm.

If the fog

cover the swamp again today...

Yes.

With the fog...

Voices cover the swamp

calling for those who

are wandering outside.

I wonder where Helga is?

This has woodworms all over it.

Good for nothing.

These here...

these will make good shoes.

What are you carving into it?

This sign will bring luck.

Wearing these, you won't get lost

and you won't sink in the swamp.

Are you selling them at a higher price?

You can't sell these.

If you do, the sign

loses it's power.

Who did you do them for?

These can only be used by those

who carry the sign

inside of themselves.

What is it?

Why aren't you going home?

I'm afraid to enter.

You showed so much

courage in the courthouse,

and now you're scared

of your own parents?

They expect me to bring home

the money is was supposed to receive.

Stop crying.

Many people have greater problems than you.

I don't think so.

Nobody wants to have

anything to do with me.

That's rubbish!

Why do you think I'm here?

My Mother wants to see you,

she wants to ask you

to work as a maid for us.

But...

does she know...

She knows as much about you

as everybody else.

What are you doing?

I know I have to leave this place,

to run away from the shame.

You are going to get away,

you'll come to us

the Dittmar Farm.

Are you still afraid

to go see your parents?

C'mon.

- Tomorrow, you'll come to us.

- Yes.

Thank you very much.

Good evening.

You finally arrived, Helga!

Come here.
