though, I'll come. Then we'll go together to the kitchen."

Martha promised this and Cornelli went home in the same way as she had
come. Not once did she run to the meadow to pick forget-me-nots or
other flowers that were sparkling there.

When Monday came, she was wondering if a carriage would arrive with
a proud city boy and a lady with a high feather hat, both of whom would
look down on her with disdain. Cornelli settled down beside the garden
fence, for from there she could conveniently survey the road. But she
saw no carriage, though she watched through both the morning and the
afternoon. She really was very glad, for she was quite sure that nobody
had arrived. Next day when the time came for her to be free, she walked
over to Martha's little house.

"Oh, I am so glad that nobody has come. Now I can be alone with you
and don't have to go to the kitchen--"

Cornelli had said these words on entering, but she suddenly stopped.
A boy she had never seen sat at the table in the room and Martha was
just clearing away the supper things. So he had come after all and had
even heard what she had said. Oh, it was dreadful! But the boy was
laughing.

Cornelli wanted to withdraw quickly, but the boy called out: "Please
come in and let us get acquainted. Mrs. Martha has already told me
about you. Just come in," he continued, when he saw that Cornelli still
hesitated. "If you want to be alone with Mrs. Wolf I can easily go to
my own room."

Cornelli felt that it was very nice of the boy not to resent her words
and to be willing to give place to her. She therefore entered. Martha
had already put a chair in readiness for her and greeted her heartily.

"I expected you, Cornelli," she said. "Just sit down here a little
with our guest. His name is Dino Halm and he already knows your name.
I am sure you will have a good time together. I'll go up in the meantime
and if you need me you can find me in the room upstairs."

Martha, thinking that the children could get acquainted better if they
were left alone, had planned to unpack
though, I'll come. Then we'll go together to the kitchen. " 

 Martha promised this and Cornelli go home in the like way as she had 
 come. Not once did she function to the hayfield to pick forget - me - nots or 
 other flowers that were sparkle there. 

 When Monday came, she was wondering if a passenger car would arrive with 
 a proud city boy and a dame with a high feather hat, both of whom would 
 look down on her with disdain. Cornelli settled down beside the garden 
 fence, for from there she could handily survey the road. But she 
 saw no passenger car, though she watched through both the morning and the 
 good afternoon. She really was very glad, for she was quite sure that nobody 
 had arrive. Next day when the clock time came for her to be complimentary, she walked 
 over to Martha's little house. 

 " Oh, I am so glad that nobody has derive. Now I can be alone with you
