"I will then visit the family there for a few days; it will make them quite happy to see thee, and I shall then be so much longer with thee. That thou wilt do, wilt thou not?" The day was fixed when they should travel. The evening previous, Otto paid his last visit to the preacher.
Otto's arrival created a great stir in the little household that he was welcome, you might see by every countenance.
