Clever as he was, he had also a heart; but there was less said
of his heart than of his money. All descriptions of people visited at the
merchant's house, well born, as well as intellectual, and some who possessed
neither of these recommendations. Now it was a children's party, and there was
children's prattle, which always is spoken freely from the heart. Among them was
a beautiful little girl, who was terribly proud; but this had been taught her by
the servants, and not by her parents, who were far too sensible people.
Her father was groom of the Chambers, which is a high office at court,
and she knew it. "I am a child of the court," she said; now she might just as
well have been a child of the cellar, for no one can help his birth; and then
she told the other children that she was well-born, and said that no one who was
not well-born could rise in the world. It was no use to read and be industrious,
for if a person was not well-born, he could never achieve anything. "And those
whose names end with 'sen,'" said she, "can never be anything at
all.
"And those whose names end with 'sen,'" said she, "can never be
anything at all. We must put our arms akimbo, and make the elbow quite pointed,
so as to keep these 'sen' people at a great distance." And then she stuck out
her pretty little arms, and made the elbows quite pointed, to show how it was to
be done; and her little arms were very pretty, for she was a sweet-looking
child. But the little daughter of the merchant became very angry at this speech,
for her father's name was Petersen, and she knew that the name ended in "sen,"
and therefore she said as proudly as she could, "But my papa can buy a hundred
dollars' worth of bonbons, and give them away to children.
