"Do you think I'll be allowed to go to the stable and look at the horses?" "Certainly you will; Matthew will love to show them to you, and Martha will willingly let you go. If I only could go with you!" And Cornelli uttered a deep sigh. "Well, I should think you certainly could do that, when the stable belongs to you. Who would hinder you, I'd like to know?" Dino said. "Do you know what we'll do?
Esther came to meet him: "Oh, I am glad that you have come, Director," she said excitedly. "When I went up to Cornelli just now she was crying. I wanted her to taste some of the little plum cakes she usually likes so much, but the poor child only shrieked: 'Oh, leave me here, leave me here! Oh, Mr. Hellmut, what if Cornelli should get sick and die?"
They have to spend all day on their sick beds and have many troubles besides. Can you see now, Cornelli, how grateful I have to be to our Lord because nothing prevents me from sewing, even if I have to prick my fingers? But I believe I hear the bell in the foundry. You know that means supper time, so run back to the house as quickly as you can."
It somewhat resembled the beautiful pictures which decorated the walls of the room. The colors in it were perfectly wonderful, and Cornelli had never before seen such a lovely picture. Sparkling crimson roses were hanging down an old wall and dense ivy was creeping up between them with shiny green leaves.
But Cornelli had to talk over so many things with Dino that the time had passed before they had thought it possible, and it was not long before Mux came running with the message that supper was ready. The meal had to be early because Cornelli had to leave immediately after it. "Oh, what a shame!" said Cornelli, jumping up because she knew her father did not like to wait.
Mux was just gathering up his strength to fight against this proposed punishment, when the mother cut short their quarrel. "No, no," she said kindly. "To-day Cornelli is here for the first time and it is a feast day for us. Mux shall not go to bed, but he must sit down quietly in his chair and say grace; then all will be well."
Agnes began with the easiest songs, and it did not take Cornelli any time to learn them. She soon knew where to pause and where to take up her part again. So a second piece was started and soon a third. Then they repeated them all again and before long they could sing three songs quite well. "Once more, once more," Agnes urged her.
They only wanted to tell you that when you frowned you looked as if you had horns on your forehead, and they said it to keep you from frowning. They meant well by you, but you misunderstood them. But you can understand me. Just let me help you to be happy again. "Have you any confidence in me, Cornelli?
Cornelli had been willing to take the responsibility for the unexpected guest. Mux was so excited that he kept on running in front of everybody and hindering them all in walking. "Be sensible, Mux!" Dino exclaimed. "If you go on like that, we'll miss the train and there won't be any trip." These words disconcerted Mux to such a degree that he simply tore away down the street.
Full of resentment, she was standing behind her master, who was shaking hands as a last farewell. Miss Mina was looking towards the other side, where Cornelli stood: "Won't you even give me your hand? This is not very friendly of you. That is just the way you are," she said to the child in a low voice.
