He told you I had anaemia? |
You're to drink milk and eat plenty of meat and fruits as your appetite improves. |
|
|
M other, what I have is not anaemia. |
You are anaemic wendla. Please don't get agitated child. You simply have anaemia. |
|
|
No mother, I haven't, it's not anaemia I know. I've got dropsy |
Wendla, the doctor said you have anaemia. You're anaemic. Now please do not get so excited girl, it's easy to cure. |
|
|
Not it isn't, it can't be cured. I've got dropsy and I have to die. I know it. Oh mother, mother I'm going to die |
You do not have to die, my child! You must not die! Oh god have mercy, wendla, you are not going to die. |
|
|
Then why are you crying like that, mother? |
You're not going to die. You haven't got dropsy. You're going to have a baby, wendla. You're having a baby. Oh, how could you do this to us? |
|
|
But I haven't done anything to you |
You can't deny it. I know what's gone on, wendla. I know everything, but I couldn't speak about it. Oh wendla, my wendla! |
|
|
But that's impossible. I'm not even married |
God in heaven help us. Don't you see girl, that's the whole point! You are not married, that's what's so terrible. Wendla! Wendla! Wendla! Don't you see what you've done? |
|
|
No, I don't see! We were just lying in the hay, but I've never loved anyone in the world except you mother! |
Oh, my precious darling child. |
|
|
Why didn't you tell me things, mother? |
Oh my child, let's not tear each other's hearts any worse. There. We must try to be calm, don't despair my darling. How could one tell such things to a fourteen year old girl? I would have expected the sun to go dark sooner than- I brought you up exactly as I was brought up by my own mother. We have to trust in the dear Lord, Wendla. We must pray for mercy and do our duty. |

|
I heard a knock at the door |
I heard nothing |
|
|
I heard it. Very clear. Who's there? |
Nobody. It's only old mother Schmidt from Gartenstrasse. You're right on time, mother Schmidt. |
