Thereafter certain men who were there jumped into the canal and
dragged Katheline out again, senseless and rigid as one dead. And
she was taken into a tavern near by, and placed in front of a bright
fire. Nele took off her garments wringing wet as they were, meaning
to put dry ones on her. After a while she regained consciousness, and
cried out, all trembling and with her teeth chattering: "Hans! Give
me a cloak of wool!"
But Katheline could not be warmed. And on the third day she died. And
she was buried in the garden of the church.
And Nele, the orphan, went away into Holland, and dwelt at the house
of Rosa van Auweghem.
