To see the wonderful spectacle from near by, she came down to the garden. The Director also left the house, but he went another way. Not long afterwards he went up Martha's little stairway to the porch where the old woman sat on her stool mending. "Oh, Mr. Hellmut!" she called out in her surprise. Opening the door she led her visitor into her room, for the porch was very narrow. Mr.
It is hard for a small plant to have too much done for it all at once and too suddenly; it has to have time to develop, and the better the plant the more carefully it should be tended." "I hope you are not trying to insinuate that it was not good for Cornelli to at last get into the right hands," said Mr. Hellmut, standing still in the middle of the room.
She was wondering what would happen now that she was again left alone with her father. She wondered if the old days would come back, or if something new was going to be done for Cornelli's education. The door was suddenly flung open and Mr. Hellmut entered. "Oh, Martha, I do not know what to do," he said to her in a perturbed manner. "You simply have to help me.
How can I thank you enough? How did you ever do it? And what patience, care and trouble you must have taken with her. I am afraid that it has required endless thought on your part to bring her back like this." "Oh, no, Mr. Hellmut, that was not the way at all," said Mrs. Halm. "Cornelli has cost me neither patience, care, nor trouble.
Can you give me no advice? What could I do? Ladies surely know how to educate a little girl. Something simply has to be done right away. I am to blame for my neglect and for leaving her too long in the wrong hands. Oh, what would my Cornelia say if she could see her child?" Mr. Hellmut threw himself down in his chair and put his hands before his face. "Please calm yourself, Frederick!
This question made Martha fairly overflow with praises of the boy. She told Mr. Hellmut that she had never known a boy who was so polite and friendly to simple folks as this boy had been; he had been well brought up, had the most refined and charming manners, and was well educated, and at the same time so simple and childishly devoted to old, plain Martha.
"Go ahead, Matthew," Miss Dorner ordered excitedly. She did not desire a further explanation. Mr. Hellmut had moved away. Cornelli now took Esther's broad hand inside both her own and pressed it hard. A ray of joy flitted over her features, the first after a long, long time. "Oh, I am so glad that you said that, Esther; I am more glad than you can think," she said eagerly.
However, I must not take literally what has probably been written in a moment of excitement." Mr. Hellmut was very glad about Cornelli's intention to remain in town, for thus his greatest care had been taken from him.
So the five children ran away with great eagerness. The Director and Mrs. Halm remained in the dining room, drinking their coffee in each other's company. "Please, Mr. Hellmut," she said, as soon as the door had closed behind the children, "please let me thank you for your great kindness. I want to tell you how grateful I am." "What do you mean? Why do you want to thank me, Mrs.
Hellmut wrote to Mrs. Halm to inform her that he was taking a lengthy journey to foreign parts. As he felt that Cornelli was well taken care of in her household, he was anxious to use this opportunity for travelling. He also wrote that he had shortened his last trip in order not to tie his kind cousin and her friend too long to his lonely house.
