Quote from "The Wind Tells about Valdemar Daae and His Daughters" (1859)

'After winter comes the spring,' he said, 'and after troubles come the good times; we have only to wait, wait! Now the mansion is mortgaged! Now it is high time indeed – and so we shall have gold! By Easter!'

(...)

Then Easter morning came, and the bells rang and the sun shone in the heavens.(...)
