Anne shake her head after Inge's question, frowning.
No really, I still feel weak and I have headache too now, I can hardly concentrate on my work.
Feeling drops of sweat in her back and on her forehead, she realize that she is too warm and take her shawl off her shoulder and lift the sleeves of her nightgown until above her elbow and sigh.

"Do you wish I help you to change your nightgown, Anne?"
She asked with concern, noticing she raised it until her elbows

Inge nodded silently and stood up. She went in the bathroom and prepared a big bathtub. She poured it with some water and took a soap. After that, she came back to Anne with a smile
"Your bath is ready, Anne. Come, I will help you..."

Anne, feeling getting even more addled look at Inge as she prepare the bath for her, then when the water is poured, she get up and join the mahogany screen, standing behind it, she take off her nightgown and slippers, then join the bath and enter it slowly, savouring the freshness of the water, sigh in relief and whisper.
It's do feel good.
After a while staying immovable, looking that the garden through the window and daydreamining while thinking to this mysterious lady encountered in the woods, she take the soap and wash herself of her better while remaining sat in the tub, then she turn to Inge.
I think that I do need to have my hairs washed, Inge.

Anne close her eyes and throw her head a bit backward as she feel the tepid water falling on her head, then she open again her eyes and as Inge wash her hairs, she smell deeply the odour of flowers and honey of the product for hairs washing and detangling that she use, sighing, feeling getting relaxed. Lost in her thoughts, the air dreamy, she jolt nearly imperceptibly in hearing Inge's question gazing at the garden, though it isn't it that she see but Hildegarde Alderman, her smile, her glance, her cooper hairs glowing under the sunshine, her slender porcelain white nude body that she seen at the pond, it's feel like a dream now though she can nearly hear her laugh and her clear voice in her ear, she take a inspiration, then answer her.
I am thinking to someone ... a lady who I have encounter, at the end of last summer.

Inge frowed a bit after her answer. She was giving her a massage on her head and neck
"A lady? Where have you met her? Maybe...you're looking for another lady in waiting, Anne?"
She asked, feeling a bit of jealousy inside her, and fearing of being replaced

At the pond where we have go together, you recall ?, deep in the forest, she did swim there. And I have see her again in the woods around a three times.
She shake her head
No, I yet have all the ladies that I do need ... I do like to encounter new people especially if they are interesting and wish to maybe make friends. And this lady is very interesting and she seem mysterious too.
Feeling addled, she add.
In fact, I don't know why, I feel nearly obsessed by her, though I have spend only a little time with her.

Anne reflect while still gazing a the garden, percieving the forest where they have encounter.
I don't know in fact, maybe because she seem mysterious and is one of the most interesting people I have encounter.
She nodd at her second question and smile.
Oh yes, she is, it's the most beautiful woman I have ever encounter ... when I have see her for the first, I have take her for a nymph ! she is so beautiful that she did seem irreal, especially in such a beautiful landscape and situation.

Anne giggle, her face taking a dreamy air as she recall of this moment at the pond and of the legends that she have read about nymphs .
Yes, maybe, she is really a nymph after all ! it's would explain why she seem so mysterious to me and is so beautiful. You know, I have ask to her if she was a nymph and she have laugh without answering ... so maybe she is and don't wanted to admit it nor to lie ! who know ?
She reflect and add.
Anyway if she is really a nymph, I will ask her to turn me in nymph too ! because I would like to be a nymph too ! ... but alas, I am not sure that nymphs really exist.
She nodd.
Yes, she told me, it's Hildegarde Alderman.

She asked with trembling voice

Anne get worried in seeing Inge's reaction after she told her the beautiful lady's name, hearing her voice trembling, wondering why she seem so feared about her, she nodd and answer her slowly.
Yes, I am sure that it's her name, Hildegarde Alderman ...
She frown, trying to undrestand her reaction.
Do you know her ? Why do you know seem nervous about her ?

Anne frown, seen her reaction when she told the lady's name, she would had swear that Inge know her or have hear about her.
And you hadn't hear about her either ?
She shurgg, then add.
I hadn't hear of her before to encounter her.
She look at the garden through the window, savouring the feeling of the water on her skin, daydreaming to become a nymph and swim in the lake with Hildegarde.

Inge started to dry her hairs with a cloth. She tried to look calm
"I see...and waht she told you, Anne? I mean...where she comes from, or who she is looking for..."
She smiled weakly, drying Anne's hairs with trembling hands

Anne reflect, recalling on each word that Hildegarde told her.
Oh we have talk about many things but not really much about her, it's why she seem so mysterious to me ... I just know her name, I suppose that she live close to the forest or maybe even in the forest but I doubt of it and seen how clean she look and the how rich her clothes are, I think that she is rather wealthy, certainly not a peasant ...
As she reflect again to what she can know of more about this lady, she can feel that Inge's hands tremble as she dry her hairs, she turn to her with a worried air on her face.
Are you allright, Inge ? you seem weird.

"Oh yes...I'm alright, Anne. Just...I think I have already heard that name before..."
She said hesitanly, lowering her eyes

Intrigued as Inge admit that she yet heard this name, like she had guessed at her reaction, she can feel at hesitating attitude that she know even more than what she tell, Anne turn to the window and look at the garden again, thinking to Hildegarde and ask her.
I see ... then it's probably indeed about her that you heard because she hadn't a commun name, do you recall who have talk about her to you ?

Inge took a breath and dryed her shoulders
"I think it was my aunt...when I still lived in my village. She said...that this woman is a witch..."
She answered, hoping Anne wouldn't laugh at her words

Anne's face take a atonished air as she hear Inge's answer, intrigued, she frown, seeing images of the moments that she have spend with this lady in her mind, trying to remember of a sign that could have make her think that the lady could be a witch, but can't recall of anything.
A witch ? ... but this lady seem very kind, she has been kind to me at last, I think that it's only a gossip.
She reflect and add.
But I can imagine why people of your village can have imagine that ... because she seem so mysterious, spending so much time in the forest, alone, she seem different of other people. Does your aunt told you what make her think that this lady is a witch or who told it to her ?

Inge took a breath and sat next the tub. She looked at Anne trying to look calm
"You see, Anne...my aunt knew every single people in the village. She was respected and well known. One day, she saw that lady in the forest, doing something with herbs. My aunt talked with her...and she learned that her name was Hildegarde. But when she asked why she was taking herbs around forest, that woman answered it was a secret and she ran away quickly. Other people saw her talking alone looking at the moon...and other things like that. That's why I'm sure she is a dangerous witch, Anne..."
She explained, still feeling shivers remembering those days in her village
