But it was a long time before the impression was effaced from the child's imagination. Dora had been standing by the hedge, as usual, hoping that the children would come into the garden, when Wili and Lili appeared with the bow. She had watched the progress of their undertaking with the greatest interest.
I will try bye and bye," she called back, for Lili was fairly dragging her towards the house. Hunne had not let go his hold of Dora, and was pulled along too. He kept calling out, "Mine too, guess mine too," and she promised that she would do her best. Wili also went with them, and all four betook themselves to the school-room where the piano stood.
Wili sat by his side, meaning to study his little piece, but first he looked at the birds in the branches, and then at the laborers in the field, and then at the red apples upon the tree, for Wili loved visible things, and it was only with the greatest difficulty, and generally with Lili's assistance, that he could get the invisible into his little head.
Rolf had early betaken himself to the garden, and had settled down in a sequestered summer-house, where he could think over all sorts of things, without fear of being disturbed. "What do you say, Wili, to coming down-stairs to look at Rolf's new bow; he left it in the passage-way last evening." Wili was all agog at the idea, and they both scampered down-stairs.
Wili and Lili sprang quickly from their seats, delighted at the chance of doing something that was not a lesson, and each seized a foot and began to pull with such force that before Jule knew what they were about he found himself slipping from his chair. In the next second he had grasped the side of his chair with the result that that also was pulled along the floor. He called out hastily "Stop!
And now they were so very miserable, that they did not want to live any longer, and both wanted to die, and to be done with it all. "Now you see, my Wili, what disobedience leads to," were the mother's serious words after she had listened to the boy's sad story.
Wili and Lili were determined to finish their undertaking, and kept on pulling and pulling. "Stop! Stop! Wiling and Liling You terrible twinning" cried Jule, while little Hunne added his voice to swell the tumult. At this the mother made her appearance upon the scene, and the uproar was stilled at once. Jule swung himself panting back into his chair, and Hunne slowly regained his equilibrium.
Julius followed with little Hunne, saying, "Oh Wili and Lili, you terrible twins, you will come to some dreadful end before long." Old Battiste rolled up his trousers and stepped into the water in the wash-house, to pull out the stopper from the waste pipe so that the flood could subside from the land of Noah. Trine stood looking on. Battiste growled at her.
No internal impression has an apparent energy, more than external objects have. The same imperfection attends our ideas of the Deity; but this can have no effect either on religion or morals. The order of the universe proves an omnipotent mind; that is, a mind whose wili is CONSTANTLY ATTENDED with the obedience of every creature and being.
Wili follows his sister's lead, and they are both therefore so busy that they have not even a thought for mischief." "Dora is certainly an uncommon child and I am very sorry she is to leave us so soon;" said Mr. Birkenfeld regretfully. "That is what is weighing upon my mind," said his wife, "I am constantly trying to devise some plan for prolonging her stay still farther."
