Preben and Martha were a fine old couple, and when they
both sat on the bench, at the top of the steep stone steps, in front of their
house, with the branches of the linden-tree waving above them, and nodded in a
gentle, friendly way to passers by, it really made one feel quite happy. They
were very good to the poor; they fed them and clothed them, and in their
benevolence there was judgment as well as true Christianity. The old woman died
first; that day is still quite vividly before my eyes.
I was a little
boy, and had accompanied my father to the old man's house. Martha had fallen
into the sleep of death just as we arrived there. The corpse lay in a bedroom,
near to the one in which we sat, and the old man was in great distress and
weeping like a child. He spoke to my father, and to a few neighbors who were
there, of how lonely he should feel now she was gone, and how good and true she,
his dead wife, had been during the number of years that they had passed through
life together, and how they had become acquainted, and learnt to love each
other.
I was, as I have said, a boy, and only stood by and listened to
what the others said; but it filled me with a strange emotion to listen to the
old man, and to watch how the color rose in his cheeks as he spoke of the days
of their courtship, of how beautiful she was, and how many little tricks he had
been guilty of, that he might meet her. And then he talked of his wedding-day;
and his eyes brightened, and he seemed to be carried back, by his words, to that
joyful time. And yet there she was, lying in the next room, dead- an old woman,
and he was an old man, speaking of the days of hope, long passed
away.
