Clementine limped over, feeling that it was her own bad luck that had involved others, and with a sense of guilt, took out a handful of candies to share with the injured miners:
"Are you all right? Please have some candy, it won't hurt after you eat it."
The miners were flattered and scrambled to their feet, taking the candy but bowing their heads, not knowing how to properly express their gratitude.
After a long while, a brave worker stammered:
"May, may God bless you, kind Miss."
At the moment, candy was a very expensive item. These people had hardly ever tasted candy in their lives, not to mention such high-grade sweets. Some were already calculating in their hearts to save the candy for their children as Christmas gifts, certain it would leave them with unforgettable sweet memories for life.
The maid Rosalia followed her young mistress, handing out a few silver coins to each of the injured miners.
