CHAPTER VII

HOW THE MASTER KINDLES A FIRE FOR THE GOOD SEED

[The author points out the disastrous consequences of giving the

servants on a farm only unheated rooms to live in, and no access to the

warm house; on Sundays they seek warmth in the public-houses or

elsewhere, and terrible immorality results. Uli feels the need of a

warm room to sit in, and the master invites him into the house. The

maids are at first much put out, and the mistress too; but the master

upholds Uli, and gradually the new custom wins favor and results in a

betterment of all the servants.]
