She is always punished for the slightest little fault." "But she never defends herself," Kurt said, half in anger, partly with pity. "If those two ever tried to harm Clevi, they would soon get their faces scratched; Apollonie has brought Loneli up the wrong way." "Should you like to see Loneli jump at a boy's face and scratch it, Kurt?" asked the mother.
This came from all sides and all at once. "To-morrow, children, to-morrow," said the mother. "We must be very happy that we can see each other so soon again. I wanted to send one of you to Apollonie, but I am glad to see you here, Loneli." Mrs. Maxa now told Loneli the message she was to take to her grandmother. The doctor had just been there and had found Leonore much better already.
Then we can see what Loneli is doing after yesterday's trouble. She is the nicest child in school." "Let us go there," the uncle assented. "I shall be glad to see my old friend Apollonie again! March ahead now!" They had soon reached the cottage at the foot of the hill, which lay bathed in brilliant sunshine.
"Neither Leonore nor I are going to school. You won't have to go either, Loneli, because a lady is coming to the castle to teach us all. Baron Wallerstätten and mama have settled it, so I know it." Loneli could hardly believe her ears, the surprise seemed too great.
But his mother detained him. It was not her wish to fan Bruno's rage afresh by the discovery that Loneli had been considered guilty. She therefore narrated the incident to Apollonie just as Bruno had reported it. Loneli's blue eyes glistened with joy when the story was told according to the truth. She knew that the words spoken by the rector's widow had great weight with her grandmother.
She arrived at the cottage of her old friend and sat down beside Loneli, who was not in the least sad, but looked about her with the merriest eyes. "I must go see the Castle-Steward to-day," she said quickly. "I promised it but I forgot about it." "No, no, Mäzli," Apollonie said evasively, "we have lots of other things to do.
Kurt was standing at the hawthorn hedge in front of the garden with his schoolbag still slung around him. He had not rushed in ahead of the others according to his custom. With puckered brow he was pulling one leaf after another from the hedge. Then he flung them all away, as if he wanted with each to rid himself of a disagreeable thought. "Kurt," Loneli called to him, "please wait a moment.
It was quite a distance away and they had examined the ruins very thoroughly. Afterwards the rector had taken them to a neighboring inn for a treat, so that it was dark already when they were walking down the village street. "Just where the footpath, which comes from the large farmhouse crosses the road," Bruno continued, "Loneli came running along with a full milk-bottle in her arm.
Loneli was extremely eager to have a chance to find out who was the Castle-Steward whom Mäzli had promised to visit.
"Because they are so mean to Loneli all the time," Mäzli declared. The mother entered now. To her friendly greeting she only received a very cold reply. "I only wonder, Mrs. Rector," the guest began immediately in an irritated manner, "what meanness that little poison-toad of a Loneli has spread and invented about my boys. But I wonder still more that some people should believe such things." Mrs.
