Das Urteil | Page 6

verurteile dich jetzt zum Tode des Ertrinkens!«

Georg fühlte sich aus dem Zimmer gejagt, den Schlag, mit dem der
Vater hinter ihm aufs Bett stürzte, trug er noch in den Ohren davon.
Auf der Treppe, über deren Stufen er wie über eine schiefe Fläche eilte,
überrumpelte er seine Bedienerin, die im Begriffe war heraufzugehen,
um die Wohnung nach der Nacht aufzuräumen. »Jesus!« rief sie und
verdeckte mit der Schürze das Gesicht, aber er war schon davon. Aus
dem Tor sprang er, über die Fahrbahn zum Wasser trieb es ihn. Schon
hielt er das Geländer fest, wie ein Hungriger die Nahrung. Er schwang
sich über, als der ausgezeichnete Turner, der er in seinen Jugendjahren
zum Stolz seiner Eltern gewesen war. Noch hielt er sich mit schwächer
werdenden Händen fest, erspähte zwischen den Geländerstangen einen
Autoomnibus, der mit Leichtigkeit seinen Fall übertönen würde, rief
leise: »Liebe Eltern, ich habe euch doch immer geliebt«, und ließ sich
hinabfallen.
In diesem Augenblick ging über die Brücke ein geradezu unendlicher
Verkehr.
