"The sight of the snow makes you cry for joy, and a spoon is used for your drops if you are ill, and you always want snowdrops to-morrow." Mamma had failed! "Not Snowdrops; no!" screamed Hunne, almost beside himself with delight. "I guess it is ice-cream," said Mr. Birkenfeld. "Ice makes me cry sometimes, it is so cold.
The voice was very firm, almost severe, but Hunne had Jule to back him, so he was full of courage, and he kept repeating; "Jule told me to." "Well, say it then quickly," said the governess, relenting a little. And Hunne repeated the riddle very slowly but correctly. Now Miss Hanenwinkel was a native of Bremen, and therefore very quick at repartee, and she never hesitated for an answer.
Stop!" while little Hunne, who saw the situation from his corner, now flew to his elder brother's assistance, hung on to the chair from behind, planting his little feet firmly on the ground, and throwing his weight backward as well as he knew how. His efforts were insufficient, however, and he was dragged along the floor as if he were on a coast.
Wili and Lili were determined to finish their undertaking, and kept on pulling and pulling. "Stop! Stop! Wiling and Liling You terrible twinning" cried Jule, while little Hunne added his voice to swell the tumult. At this the mother made her appearance upon the scene, and the uproar was stilled at once. Jule swung himself panting back into his chair, and Hunne slowly regained his equilibrium.
I will try bye and bye," she called back, for Lili was fairly dragging her towards the house. Hunne had not let go his hold of Dora, and was pulled along too. He kept calling out, "Mine too, guess mine too," and she promised that she would do her best. Wili also went with them, and all four betook themselves to the school-room where the piano stood.
It is rather long:" "First cut short your laughter for me, Then spell me a nun with an e, Shut quickly with meaning, one eye, Then add me an el, and good-bye Good-bye till I meet you again." It did not take Hunne long to learn the lines, and he started off at once to find the governess.
Julius was his beau-ideal of all that was best, and he thought that if he imitated Jule, and answered quickly the first thing that came into his head, that was guessing. But Rolf was angry. "How can you be so stupid, Hunne? Just think about it a little, can a nut cover some one on his last way?" "Why, it can cover well the shell covers it."
Mr. and Mrs. Birkenfeld had gone to church, and with them Paula and Miss Hanenwinkel. In the sitting-room, Jule and Hunne were harmoniously discussing over a big dish of hazel-nuts, in how many different ways they could make the nutcracker crack a nut.
But Dora had a comforting word for him, even now, and whispered softly, "Yes, Hunne dear, you shall have some more fun with it, for I will bring over my album this afternoon, and I will guide your hand while you write the charade in it, and then I will take it to Karlsruhe, and show it to all the people I know there, and they will all try to guess it."
When they reached the piano, Lili began to play her one piece, and when she came to the end, she glanced at Dora who nodded so pleasantly that Lili, thus encouraged, began again at the beginning. Presently Dora began to sing the words; Wili, who was waiting in vain for his chance to play, joined her; then Hunne too; so that a loud chorus rang out cheerily from the school-room
