When Teufelsbürst entered his studio next day, there sat Karl, as if nothing had happened, finishing the drawing on which he had been at work when the fit of insensibility came upon him. WHEN TEUFELSBUERST ENTERED HIS STUDIO NEXT DAY THERE SAT KARL AS IF NOTHING HAD HAPPENED FINISHING THE DRAWING AT WHICH HE HAD BEEN AT WORK WHEN THE FIT OF INSENSIBILITY CAME UPON HIM
siting with him the terrible corpse in which he lived all day. But Karl soon reassured her; and a few good blows of the axe revealed a very different core to that which Teufelsbürst supposed to be in it. Karl broke it into pieces, and with Lilith’s help, who insisted on carrying her share, the whole was soon at the bottom of the Moldau and every trace of its ever having existed removed. Before morning, too, the form of Lilith had dawned anew in every picture. There was no time to restore to its former condition the one Karl had first altered; for in it the changes were all that they seemed; nor indeed was he capable of restoring it in the master’s style; but they put it quite out of the way, and hoped that sufficient time might elapse before the painter thought of it again. When they had done, and Lilith, for all his entreaties, would remain with him no longer, Karl took his former clothes with him, and having spent the rest of the night in his old room, dressed in them in the morning. PIRE AFTER ALL VISITING WITH HIM THE TERRIBLE CORPSE IN WHICH HE LIVED ALL DAY BUT KARL SOON REASSURED HER AND A FEW GOOD BLOWS OF THE AXE REVEALED A VERY DIFFERENT CORE TO THAT WHICH TEUFELSBUERST SUPPOSED TO BE IN IT KARL BROKE IT INTO PIECES AND WITH LILITH'S HELP WHO INSISTED ON CARRYING HER SHARE THE WHOLE WAS SOON AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MOLDAU AND EVERY TRACE OF ITS EVER HAVING EXISTED REMOVED BEFORE MORNING TOO THE FORM OF LILITH HAD DAWNED ANEW IN EVERY PICTURE THERE WAS NO TIME TO RESTORE TO ITS FORMER CONDITION THE ONE KARL HAD FIRST ALTERED FOR IN IT THE CHANGES WERE ALL THAT THEY HAD SEEMED NOR INDEED WAS HE CAPABLE OF RESTORING IT IN THE MASTER'S STYLE BUT THEY PUT IT QUITE OUT OF THE WAY AND HOPED THAT SUFFICIENT TIME MIGHT ELAPSE BEFORE THE PAINTER THOUGHT OF IT AGAIN WHEN THEY HAD DONE AND LILITH FOR ALL HIS ENTREATIES WOULD REMAIN WITH HIM NO LONGER KARL TOOK HIS FORMER CLOTHES WITH HIM AND HAVING SPENT THE REST OF THE NIGHT IN HIS OLD ROOM DRESSED IN THEM IN THE MORNING
