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.
Maxa, the beggar-woman said, "Yes, yes, children can make one happy enough when one has a home. You are a fortunate lady to have a good roof for your own. It would be better for two such homeless ones as these not to exist! They are sure to remain homeless all their lives, and that is the saddest thing of all." With that she stretched out her hand, for Mrs. Maxa was looking at her intently.
With a bound his new friend had jumped to the ground and called back, "If you don't move, the horses will stay quiet, too." Quickly opening the carriage, he lifted Leonore out and carried her up to the little room which had been got ready for her. Mrs. Maxa followed at his heels.
I can do this easily alone, for she is as light as a feather," she called back to the lady who had hastened after her in order to help. Going downstairs Mrs Maxa said, "Leonore, I am going to take you home with me now. The doctor is letting me do what I wished: you will stay with me till you are well again, and I shall take care of you. Shall you like to come with me?
The Baron replied: "Our dear Maxa always saw things in an ideal light. How could a delicate child like Leonore fit into a wilderness like this castle. Everything here is deserted and forlorn. Just think of the old watchman here and me, what miserable housemates we should be. Won't you receive the child in your house, for she clearly longs to have a home?
The matter frightens me more than you can realize, Philip, and now you have made it impossible for me to change the plan." "But, Maxa, can't you see that I could not act otherwise. Mr. Knippel was terribly anxious to arrange it all, and you know how quickly he is offended.
"Will you deliver a message for me, Leonore?" he said; "will you tell your Aunt Maxa that the master of the castle, whom she knew long years ago, would love to visit her, but he is unable? Ask her if he may hope that she will come up to him at the castle instead?"
I know quite well, therefore, that I shall he unable to gratify my great desire of doing something for that miserable, lonely man." "So much the better," the brother said, quite relieved. "I am glad that the villain has bolted you out himself. If I should have tried to keep you out, you certainly would have found means to resist me, I know." "I willingly admit it," Mrs. Maxa replied with a smile.
He could hardly wait to make his sister the announcement to which he had already referred several times. "Are you coming at last?" he called to her. "Are you not a bit curious what present I have brought you?" "Oh, Philip, I am sure it can only be a joke," Mrs. Maxa replied. "I should love to know what you meant when you spoke of the children of Wallerstätten."
I only wished to forget the past in this solitude, and I thought it right for me to die forgotten. Then your little girl came in here one day I have not been able to discover how." "Oh, please forgive her," said Mrs. Maxa. "It is a riddle to me, too, how she succeeded in entering this garden. I knew nothing about it till yesterday evening when the children came home from the castle.
