It is true the order from Berlin aroused zeal and patriotism in the hearts of the residents of Alsace and Lorraine. Most of the villagers came to attend the school after the order; they wanted to say good-bye to their beloved teacher M. Hamel. The order made them serious. Earlier when everything was normal, they avoided learning French; but now when their mother-tongue was being deprived of them, they did not want to lose it. They were feeling patriotic; they wanted to learn French. Even Franz wanted to learn. To him M Hamel was looking like a great teacher. But earlier he used to consider him cranky. Even M Hamel was feeling so much patriotic. He wanted to teach them the entire French language; he was very sad as he had to leave the school and the village where he had taught for forty years.
