MRS. FLAMM
Is that true? Is that possible? Now there you see again how life is, father Bernd. When your master let you go without a bit o' pension or anything for your old age, you were quite desperate and hopeless. An' 'twas an unfeeling thing to do! But now God has turned everything to good.
BERND
So it is! But men has too little faith!
MRS. FLAMM
Well, then! Now you're well off! In the first place the house is right opposite the church, an' then it has a good bit o' land that goes with it! And Rose, well, I'm sure she knows how to manage. Yes, you can really be satisfied.
BERND
The blessin's that a lady like that can spread! Next to God … it's to her we owe the most. If I'd been in her service an' had ruined my health as I did workin' for my master, I wouldn't ha' had to complain.
MRS. FLAMM
You have nothing more to complain of now, Bernd.
