Many of those who already had been moved to compassion chanel bags by the beauty of the girl and the sight of the old father, were thrown again by this incident into a merry humor; they laughed and found the whole thing very amusing.
     The hour was past, and the girl was now to be released. The Gevaldiger approached her, but whilst he raised his hand to the yoke the old man tottered, and sank, in the same moment, back upon the hard stone pavement.
     A shriek arose from those who stood around; chanel handbags the young girl alone stood silent and immovable; her thoughts seemed to be far away. Yet some people fancied they saw how she closed her eyes, but that was only for a moment. A policeman released her from the pillory, her old father was carried into the guard-house, and two policemen led her into the council-house.
     "See, now it is over!" said an old glover, who was among the spectators; "the next time she'll get into the House of Correction."
     "O, chanel bags it is not so bad there," answered another; "they sing and are merry there the whole day long, and have no need to trouble themselves about victuals."
     "Yes, but that is prison fare."
     "It is not so bad--many a poor body would thank God for it; and Johanne Marie would get the best of it. Her aunt is the head-cook, and the cook and the inspector they hang together. It's my opinion, however, that this affair will take the life out ugg boots clearance of the old man. He got a right good bump as he fell on the stone-pavement; one could hear how it rung again."
     The crowd separated.
     The last malicious voice had prophesied truth.
     Three weeks afterward six soldiers bore a woven, yellow straw coffin from a poor house in East Street. The old Gevaldiger lay, with closed eyes and folded hands, in the coffin. Within the chamber, upon the bedstead, sat Johanne Marie, with a countenance pale as that of the dead authentic damier canvas bags for cheap which had been carried away. A compassionate neighbor took her hand, and mentioned her name several times before she heard her.
     "Johanne, come in with me; eat a mouthful of pease and keep life in you; if not for your own sake, at least for that of the child which lies under your heart."
     The girl heaved a wonderfully deep sigh. "No, no!" said she, and closed her eyes.
