The day after Christmas, in pursuit of this idea, he commanded Anna
to leave the mill. But she had defied him, for the second time in
her, life, her face pale to the lips.
"Not on your life," she had said. "You may want to starve. I
don't."
"There is plenty of other work."
"Don't you kid yourself. And, anyhow, I'm not looking for it. I
don't mind working so you can sit here and nurse a grouch, but I
certainly don't intend to start hunting another job."
She had eyed him morosely. "If you ask me," she continued, "you're
out of your mind. What's Germany to you? You forgot it as fast as
you could, until this war came along. You and Rudolph! You're long
distance patriots, you are."
"I will not help my country's enemies," he had said doggedly.
"Your country s enemies. My word! Isn't this your country? What's
the old Kaiser to you?"
He had ordered her out of the house, then, but she had laughed at
him. She could always better him in an argument.
"Suppose I do go?" she had inquired.
