 Esther's message. In former times she had always
run to him gaily, whenever she had something to tell him. Since then
things had changed.

"It will never again be that way," she said to herself. The thought
seemed to weigh so heavily on her that she suddenly stood still. At
that moment her father opened the door in front of which she stood.
"Oh, here you are, Cornelli," he said delightedly. "Did you want to
pay me a little visit? We have really hardly seen each other. Come in
here! I was just going to get you, for I want to speak with you."

Cornelli entered, not saying a word and avoiding her father's glance.

"Come, Cornelli," he said, leading her through the room and sitting
down beside her. "I have something to tell you that will make you very
happy. You have changed so much during my absence and so little to
your advantage that something has to be done for your education. It
is high time. I shall take you to a boarding school in town, where you
can be with many other children and young girls. You will have the
chance to learn many things from them and to make friends with many.
You will be sure to change there, then you can return to bring your
father joy. I cannot enjoy you now, for I do not know what ails you.
It may be better after you get some education. I expect to take you
away next week."

Cornelli's face became snow white from sudden terror. First she uttered
no sound, but soon she burst into violent tears.

"Oh, Papa," she sobbed, "leave me at home! I'll be good. Oh, don't
send me to town to so many children! Oh, I can't, I can't. Oh, Papa,
don't send me away!"

Mr. Hellmut could not bear to see Cornelli's tears and still less to
hear her supplications. "But for her own good it has to be," he said
to himself to strengthen his resolution. Cornelli's lamentations were
too much for him and he rushed away.

Several hours later, the time had come for supper and he returned from
the iron foundry.

Esther came to meet him: "Oh, I am glad that you

 " It will never again be that way, " she allege to herself. The thought 
 seemed to count indeed heavily on her that she abruptly stood still. At

 felicitous. You have changed so much during my absence and so little to 
 your advantage that something has to be done for your education. It 
 is high time. I shall consider you to a boarding school in town, where you 
 can be with many other children and unseasoned girls. You will have the 
 chance to determine many things from them and to make friends with many. 
 You will be sure to transfer there, then you can return to bring your 
 father joy. I cannot enjoy you now, for I do not know what trouble you. 
 It may be better after you get some education. I expect to claim you 
 away following week. " 

 Cornelli's face became snow white from sudden panic. First she uttered 
 no sound, but soon she burst into violent tears. 

 " Oh, Papa, " she sobbed, " leave me at home! I'll be adept. Oh, don't 
 send me to township to so many children! Oh, I can't, I can't. Oh, Papa, 
 don't send me away! " 

 Mr. Hellmut could not bear to attend Cornelli's tears and however less to 
 hear her prayer. " But for her own good it has to be, " he say 
 to himself to strengthen his resolution. Cornelli's lamentations were 
 too much for him and he rushed away.
