ring us health."
So from the deck of Jan's ship they watched old Zandam till it vanished
into air.
Christina cried a little at the thought of never seeing it again; but
Jan comforted her and later new faces hid the old.
And old Nicholas married Dame Toelast, but, happily, lived to do evil
only for a few years longer.
Long after, Jan told Christina the whole story, but it sounded very
improbable, and Christina--though, of course, she did not say so--did
not quite believe it, but thought Jan was trying to explain away that
strange month of his life during which he had wooed Dame Toelast. Yet it
certainly was strange that Nicholas, for the same short month, had been
so different from his usual self.
"Perhaps," thought Christina, "if I had not told him I loved Jan, he
would not have gone back to his old ways. Poor old gentleman! No doubt
it was despair."
