He softly went out of the
room and down-stairs. There, early as it was, he found Fraeulein Anna,
who looked at him with amazement.
"Where can I find a doctor?" he asked her; and they talked for a few
minutes, after which she went up-stairs beside him, trembling and
flushed.
They found Kitty lying on her side, her face hidden entirely in the
curls which had fallen across it, and one arm hanging. There was that in
her aspect which made them both recoil. Then Ashe rushed to her with a
cry, and as he passionately kissed her cold cheek he heard the clamor of
the frightened girl behind him. "Ach, Gott!--Ach Gott!"--and the voices
of others, men and women, who began to crowd into the narrow room.
