Und zuletzt wollte sie – nun du verstehst wohl, und sein Gesicht suchte zugleich das meine. Aber da habe ich mich doch mit letzter Kraft ihm entwunden und zur Seite gedreht; und wieder ist dabei dieser Laut, den ich sonst nicht an mir kenne, so zwischen Bitte und Stöhnen liegt er, aus meiner Brust gekommen. Ich habe nämlich ein Muttermal, ein schwarzes Medaillon.\n»Und wie hat sich dein Vater verhalten?« unterbrach sie Ulrich kühl.\nAber Clarisse ließ sich nicht unterbrechen. »Hier!« Sie lächelte gespannt und zeigte durch das Kleid eine Stelle einwärts der Hüfte. »Bis hieher ist er gekommen, hier ist das Medaillon. Dieses Medaillon besitzt eine wunderbare Kraft oder es hat damit eine sonderbare Bewandtnis!«",

Zitternd, mit gespielter Harmlosigkeit, weißt du, über meine Brust wie ein Kuß hinweg, dann, als wartete sie und lauschte auf Antwort. Und zuletzt wollte sie – nun du verstehst wohl, und sein Gesicht suchte zugleich das meine. Aber da habe ich mich doch mit letzter Kraft ihm entwunden und zur Seite gedreht; und wieder ist dabei dieser Laut, den ich sonst nicht an mir kenne, so zwischen Bitte und Stöhnen liegt er, aus meiner Brust gekommen. Ich habe nämlich ein Muttermal, ein schwarzes Medaillon.\n»Und wie hat sich dein Vater verhalten?« unterbrach sie Ulrich kühl.\nAber Clarisse ließ sich nicht unterbrechen. »Hier!« Sie lächelte gespannt und zeigte durch das Kleid eine Stelle einwärts der Hüfte. »Bis hieher ist er gekommen, hier ist das Medaillon. Dieses Medaillon besitzt eine wunderbare Kraft oder es hat damit eine sonderbare Bewandtnis!«",
