Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Conclusion

The city of France is free from all troubles, lives in harmony with all its neighbors, is well-governed, happy, and prosperous because of the literate inhabitants.They are so well deserved that no one envies them, and, because of their strength, even the most warlike men respect them. Under the clutches of Herr Schulz, Steel City was nothing but a dreadful factory, a formidable and destructive weapon, but, thanks to Marcel Bruckmann, it has been successfully put into order, and Stanley Talstad has become the unrivaled center of production of all beneficial industries. Marcel and Jeanne have been married for a year and are a very happy husband.They just had a baby, adding to the joy of the family.

As for Octave, he obeyed his brother-in-law's command sincerely, and did his best to assist him.His sister is now arranging his marriage to a friend of hers.This friend of hers, who is very handsome and sensible, will definitely be a good wife for her husband. The doctor and his wife had their wish fulfilled, they were the happiest of men, and, if glory had been their honest ambition, they might have reached the pinnacle of it. We can now be sure that the future belongs to the toiling Dr. Sarazan and Marcel Brickmann, and the example of the city of France and the model factory and city of Stalstadt will be passed on to future generations.
