Then I must be very wicked.
_Mother:_
Are you sleeping better now, child?
_Hedwig:_
No; I am thinking of Franz. He may be lying there alone on the
battle-field, with none to help, and I here longing to put my arms
around him.
[_Buries her face on the mother's knees and sobs._]
_Mother:_
Hush, Hedwig! Be brave! Take care of yourself! We must see that Franz's
child is well born.
_Hedwig:_

[_Gets up impulsively, as if to run out of the house._]

against the Government. It is the express request and command that our
soldiers about to be called to the front and our young women should
marry. You deliberately set yourself in opposition to that command. Are
you aware that that is treason?
_Hedwig:_
Why are they asking this, Herr Captain?
_Hertz:_
Our statesmen are wise. They are thinking of the future state. The

We must have men for the future. I warn you, that to do or sa
