"I shall sing the first stanza of this song and then you can sing it with me the second time," Agnes said and began: "The beauteous moon is risen." "Oh, I have known that song a long time. Shall I sing the second voice?" asked Cornelli. "What? Can you really sing second voice? Can you really do it? Oh, that would be wonderful! Go ahead and do it!" said Agnes excitedly.
As Cornelli's soup was waiting for her, she ate it quickly, and since her father made no movement behind his paper, she helped herself to everything else that was before her. While she was nibbling on an apple, her father looked up and said: "I see that you have caught up with me, Cornelli. You even seem to be further along than I am. Just the same you must not come late to your meals.
"No, not any more," replied Cornelli, entering Martha's little chamber and sitting down on the stool which her old friend had put for her in the usual place. Cornelli's words did not come rapidly and angrily any more, as they had done before. With a deep sigh she added: "I only wish I had never learned to read." "What! But child, what an idea," exclaimed Martha, "what a foolish wish!
"My cousin said it and Miss Grideelen said it, too. They saw it, and I know it. Oh, please don't brush my hair away." "Cornelli," the mother went on calmly, "the ladies told you they saw little horns on your forehead, that got bigger every time you wrinkled up your brow. You are afraid that this is really so and that it is getting worse. You understood it in a way they did not mean.
Agnes and Cornelli were running beside the carriage as protectors, while Dino held the goat lightly by the reins to keep her from running off. All the children were screaming with delight at the wonderful ride. Matthew was standing beside the bushes to watch this trial trip, for he thought that his help might be needed.
Oh, how I love beautiful Iller-Stream!" Mux called out louder and louder: "Oh, Cornelli, take me along!" He could not realize that he was really going, too. There were still many days and even weeks before their bliss would come true, but with this heavenly prospect before them the children performed their remaining duties only too joyfully. It was different for Cornelli.
It was a consolation to Agnes that she could play on the lovely piano whenever she wanted to and that Cornelli was always home in the evenings, when she could sing with her. Mr. Hellmut would sit in his arm-chair while the two girls sang one song after another, and he could never hear enough. Beaming with joy, he would say to Mrs.
"Yes, but now you are told not to go there any more, remember that! so your frequent changing will have to stop," grumbled Miss Mina, while she was helping Cornelli to take off her hot dress. "Now I have to clean it, besides! You actually give more work than six well brought up children."
There was no pastry the exact recipe of which as well as how it tasted Mux could not tell. In this manner he lived through heavenly days. They were no less heavenly for the other children. Dino and Cornelli had started the large undertaking of laying out Martha's garden after their own plan. They were so busy inventing things and carrying them out that they could hardly ever be found.
From time to time she heard their happy laughter; it thrilled her with joy, and she never wanted to interrupt it. She had seen how Cornelli behaved when listening to one of Dino's stories; the little girl was as eager as if she were experiencing it all herself.
