You are the owner; it is your inheritance from your father; your home is here; your name stands in the baptismal record; you are the son of Henrico Trevillo, and he was my husband's dearest friend." Stineli had understood the whole story at the first word, and her face beamed with unspeakable happiness.
And you will come again to-morrow, and every day, will you not, Rico?" "Yes," he said; and looked at Stineli with a most melancholy expression. "Yes; and every evening, when it is most beautiful, I must be off and away, because I belong to nobody." "Oh! do not think in that way, Rico," said his friend encouragingly.
But now the kind God has allowed it to happen, and we may certainly hope that it will all be finished right. "Now ponder this well, my Stineli, and never forget what you have thus learned by experience; and now for I see how heavily it weighs down your heart it will be well for you to go to pray to the good God, that He will allow this mistake of yours and Rico to turn out all right.
They ceased to search for him, and the folks soon began to find consolation in the thought, "It is just as well for the little fellow, after all; he was forsaken, and had no one to care for him."

After dinner was finished, and all the dishes taken away, and the table washed off by Stineli, Peterli called out, "Come here to me;" and the two others screamed, "No, to me!" and her father said, "Now Stineli must go to look after the goats." But at this moment her grandmother went through the kitchen, and made a sign to Stineli to follow her. "Now go in peace, my child," she said.
It is precisely Stineli whom the sick boy Silvio wishes, and nobody else; and he knows very well what he wants. He would only send Trudi home again, and she would have taken the journey for nothing. Mrs.
She succeeded in quieting Stineli enough to persuade her to relate the whole story about the lake, of which the grandmother was in total ignorance: how Rico had always been talking about this lake, and how he had longed to go to find it, and how, at last, Stineli had suggested the way for him to do so.
