To prevent any further “scandal,” they quickly arrange Franica’s marriage to a wealthy but rude and uncultured nobleman. Franica, devoid of will or hope, accepts her fate. She marries not for love, but for the preservation of a hollow family name. Mihovil is shattered. He watches from afar as the carriage takes his beloved away to a marriage that is, in essence, a legalized form of misery. He does not become angry or vengeful. Instead, his love turns into a silent, incurable wound.
Franica, aware of his gaze, does not reject him. She finds comfort in his honest admiration, which contrasts sharply with the hollow pride of her suitors from other decaying noble families. However, she is too obedient and trapped to encourage him. When Mihovil finally gathers the courage to reveal his feelings—either through a letter or a direct, desperate confession (depending on the edition)—the reaction is swift and brutal. The Stipančići are horrified. The idea of their daughter marrying a common craftsman is worse than poverty.
Upon entering the noble house, Mihovil sees , the family’s only daughter. Unlike the arrogant nobles he expected, Franica is sad, kind, and strikingly beautiful. For Mihovil, it is love at first sight—a deep, burning devotion to a woman who exists in a world entirely forbidden to him. The Silent Courtship Mihovil finds excuses to return to the manor. He fixes more windows than necessary, polishes the glass until it shines, and lingers in the garden. He knows he can never speak of his love openly. A glazier cannot court a noblewoman. His love is expressed through his work—making her world clearer and brighter, even as her family’s fortunes darken.
