be, girl. It keeps me from worrying. Get a bite to eat. What were
you doing with that bag? Who were you packing it for?
_Amelia:_ [_With downcast eyes._]
Myself.
_Mother:_ [_Anxious._]
What for?
_Amelia:_
Sit down, Mother, and be still while I tell you--
[_Pushes her mother into a chair._]
_Mother:_ [_Starts._]
Is there any news? Quick! Tell me!
_Amelia:_
Not since yesterday. Only they say Franz is at the front. We don't know
where Emil and Otto are, and there's been a battle; but--
_Mother:_ [_Murmurs, with closed eyes._]
My boys! my boys!
_Amelia:_
Don't, Mother! They may come back. [_A cheer is heard._]
_Mother:_ [_Starting._]
What's that?
_Amelia:_ [_Running to the door and looking out._]
They are cheering the war brides, that's all.
_Mother:_
Aye. There's been another wedding ceremony.
_Amelia:_
Yes.
_Mother:_
How many war brides to-day?
_Amelia:_
Ten, they said.
_Mother:_ [_Nodding._]
Aye, that is good. Has any one asked you, Amelia? [_Amelia looks
embarrassed._] Some one should ask you. You are a good-looking girl.
_Amelia:_ [_In a low voice._]
Hans Hoffman asked me last night.
_Mother:_
The young and handsome lieutenant? You are lucky. You said yes?
_Amelia:_ [_Shakes her head._]
No.
_Mother:_
Ah, well.
_Amelia:_
I hardly know him. I've only spoken to him once before. O Mother--that
isn't what I want to do.
_Mother:_
What did you tell him?
_Amelia:_ [_Timidly._]
That I was going away to join the Red Cross.
_Mother:_
Amelia!
_Amelia:_
He didn't believe me. He kissed me--and I ran away.
_Mother:_
The Red Cross!
_Amelia:_ [_Eagerly._]
Yes; that is what I was going to tell you just now. That is why I was
packing the bag. [_Gets it._] I--I want to go. I want to go to-night. I
can't stand this waiting.
_Mother:_
You leave me, too?
_Amelia:_
I want to go to the front with Franz and Otto and
