«But who are you who has ttie power of life and death?»
«It is not the most important question now. I am asking you again - do you agree?»
«I agree!» exclaimed the student.
It was about the noon of the next day that the goldsmith Adrian Wenzel sold the most beautiful watch in the town. Theophan got his money and went to Thyrza. She was sitting at the window, pale and sad. Her eyes asked Nm what had happened the evening before, and he had to tell her as much as he could about the watch and about the agreement. After some time Thyrza said:
«It's strange, but I can also tell you a story about one watch.»
«Which one?»i asked Theophan.
«You see, I didn't sleep well last night. I was thinking about you. Well, you know, I have forgiven you. And then I don't know why an idea to buy a beautiful watch came to my mind. So this morning I went out, and I saw the watch of my dream at our neighbour's shop. At Adrian Wenzel's.»
«And - you - you!»
«I bought it!»
«No - ho!» exclaimed Theophan, «you couldn't do so!» «But why?» said Thyrza. «What happened?*
«It's nothing - nothing, dearest Thyrza. I don't feel good. I am ill. I must go now. But I will return soon*. «I couldn't,* thought he as he left her, «I couldn't tell her the truth.* On the next day both of them died.
