MOISTURE PROOF
The Willmers Hninz (with pipe), oldest son Horry, filtio Rolf, ond Mnrgrel dim; in the
house they buiJl with their own hands. Roll's birth on Forenna is told in this episode.
Heinz and Harry must be in the bush. Per
haps they were following the tracks of a
bull. Yes, I'd go into the bush, too, just to
find them, not to be alone.
There was a straw pallet on the ground. I
nearly tripped over it. Straw! But I had a
bed, a real bed. With white linen on it.
For a moment everything went blank. My
legs wouldn't hold me any more. Then all
at once I felt as light as a feather. The straw
I let myself drop down on it. I lay there,
unable to move. "Heinz! Heinz!" This time
I screamed so loud that I started in terror
at my own voice.
I lay quite still. There was a rustling at
the entrance to the cave, an eerie rustling.
It was still dark outside. An owl hooted.
Then I heard a bull bellow! The bellowing
came nearer and nearer! He must be here

by now, somewhere very near me.
He gave another bellow, a bellow of rage
and pain, as if he were mortally wounded.
Heinz had shot him less than three yards
from me! I broke into a cold sweat, tried
to call out, but no sound came.
Then I heard a cry. It didn't come from
me. A short, shrill, squeaky, penetrating
cry. It didn't come from me, nor from Heinz
it was the first cry of our newborn child!
The child was there. I couldn't take it all
in. I was too weak, too helpless. I didn't
hear the steps of people hurrying to me. I
didn't see my husband standing by me. I
was past seeing and hearing.
Heinz and Harry brought me carefully
over to the house, me and the child. "It's
a boy." Was that Heinz' voice? I was so '
weak I couldn't hear even those words.
Heinz laid me gently on my bed, bathed
the child, and wrapped it in a big towel that
was lying ready. Then the child and I fell
into a deep sleep. Heinz and Harry also
slept those last two hours of the night.
When daylight came, I woke, and then
the pains returned. I knew I was far
from out of the wood yet. But the child was
there, thank God. That much had gone off
well. He lay near me, pink fists pressed
against his face, and slept with eyes shut
tight. I saw the little face and tried to raise
my arm to stroke it, at least to feel it for
the first time; but the pains were so fearful
I felt incapable of the slightest movement.
No, the birth was not yet over. It was
over for the little creature that lay near
me, but not for me. Though almost drugged
with pain, I could sense one thing quite
clearly: my life was in danger. The danger
was growing every minute, something must
be done about it, and at once. I couldn't
do anything myself, nor could Heinz. Only
a doctor could help in this. "Get Dr. Ritter,"
I muttered. Dr. Ritter, the strange dentist
who had refused to attend me!
"Harry!"
"Yes, Papa!" Harry dashed out.
All at once I was quite lucid again. Har
ry's eyesight was still very bad he would
miss the way to Dr. Ritter 's; he would get
lost! It might take him a day to reach Dr.
Ritter, if he got there at all. I beckoned to
Heinz, who bent down to listen. I whispered
my fears.
"Harry!" I heard Heinz calling after him.
Harry was already some way off. "Come
back!" Heinz called, and a minute later:
"I'll go myself. I know the way better, so
I can go faster than you." Then he raced
oft, down to Dr. Ritter.
