"I am sure that you will be grateful if the question is solved for Bruno, as you would otherwise be obliged to settle it yourself." Frau Maxa's heart was very heavy at this news. She already saw the consequences and pictured the terrible scenes that would result if the three boys were obliged to live closely together.
Maxa begged, yet more strongly, "so that you can see him. If you can't willingly see him who may be the pride and joy of your life, then open the door of his home because, before God, it is right, which you must feel as fully as I." The Baron was silent, then finally said, "Salo may come." Mrs. Maxa's face shone with joy and gratitude.
"But the color has nothing to do with it, it was the length, the horrible, horrible length of that thing! It looked just too awful. He had a high helmet on his head besides, with a still higher bunch of black plumes that nodded in the most frightful way." A gleam of joy sparkled in Loneli's eyes. Flying away like an arrow, she sought out Mrs. Maxa's house.
Salo remarked quite frankly that he himself hardly looked forward to Leonore's coming, as he saw in each of her letters how happy she was in Aunt Maxa's household and how difficult the separation would be for her. Whenever he thought how hard it would be for her to grow accustomed to the change again, all his joy vanished at the prospect of her return.
What happiness my friendship with your parents has brought me! I want you both to be my children now, for your parents were the best friends I ever had in the world." This speech apparently met a response in the two children's hearts. As answer Leonore took Mrs. Maxa's hand and held it tight between her own, and Salo came close to her to show what confidence he felt.
"There is only one thing I should miss there, but I have to miss it in Hanover, too. I shall never, never feel at home there!" "Well, what is this?" the gentleman queried. "That I can't be together with Aunt Maxa and the children." "Shall we ask Aunt Maxa's advice? Would this suit you, child?" "Oh, yes indeed," Leonore answered happily.
We know each other a little already and I hope you won't feel so strange with us." Leonore, flinging both arms about Mrs. Maxa's neck, held her so tight that she could feel the little girl considered her no stranger any longer. Suddenly Leonore called back in jubilating tones, "Salo, Salo, did you hear?" Salo had heard her call but comprehended nothing further.
Maxa's hand, which seemed to her that of a loving mother. It was the first time in her life that she had felt this. On the high seat outside the conversation was extremely lively. Young Salo had to tell where and how he lived, and then his companion explained in turn the places they were passing through and told him whatever unusual had happened in the neighborhood.
