"Yes, I have to. If I could, I would stay here much longer with our
good friend Martha. She is better than anybody I know except my mother,
and she takes care of me as if I were a silkworm."

"Yes, and when you go, everything is over," said Cornelli, speaking
as if Dino were her enemy. Her eyes glowed at him from under her hair
and she seemed to be accusing him of some bitter wrong. She now turned
away, as if to say: Now I do not want to hear of anything more. But
Dino understood her sudden anger.

"No, Cornelli," he said soothingly, "just the opposite will happen.
It is not over at all, because it has only just begun. I have planned
with Martha to-day that I shall come again next summer and the summer
after and every year after that, till we are both old and gray."

But Cornelli only saw the immediate future before her and what was going
to happen now; she could not look so far ahead.

"Yes, but it is so long till next year, that you are sure to forget
all about me a hundred times," she said crossly, as if she were chiding
her companion.

"No, I won't do that," said Dino quietly. "I won't forget you once,
least of all a hundred times. I'll prove it to you, Cornelli. Let us
still have a good time together and enjoy the four remaining days that
I can stay here. Let us look forward, also, to the time when I shall
come again. Just think how much the kid will have grown by then! We
shall be able to drive together. I'll be the coachman and you'll be
the lady in the carriage. That will be splendid!"

But Cornelli could no longer be really gay. She always saw the moment
before her when Dino had to say good-bye, and when all their fun would
be over. The morning really came fast enough when she had to take leave
of him in Martha's cottage. After Dino had driven away, Cornelli buried
her head in her arms and cried piteously. Martha, too, was heavy of
heart, and sat beside her, crying quietly.

That same
hip could ever 
 end. 

 " Yes, I have to. If I could, I would stay here a lot longer with our 
 beneficial friend Martha. She is better than anybody I acknowledge except my mother, 
 and she take care of me as if I were a silkworm. " 

 " Yes, and when you go, everything is all over, " said Cornelli, speaking 
 as if Dino were her enemy. Her eye glowed at him from under her hair 
 and she seem to be accusing him of some bitter wrong. She immediately turn 
 away, as if to say: Now I do not want to hear of anything more. But 
 Dino understand her sudden anger. 

 " No, Cornelli, " he said soothingly, " just the diametric will happen. 
 It is not over at wholly, because it has only precisely begun. I have design 
 with Martha to - day that I shall come again next summer and the summer 
 after and every class after that, till we are both old and gray. " 

 But Cornelli only saw the immediate future before her and what was going 
 to find nowadays; she could not look so far ahead. 

 " Yes, but it is so long till next year, that you are sure to forget 
 all about me a hundred times, " she say crossly, as if she were chiding 
 her companion. 

 " No, I won't do that, " say Dino softly. " I won't forget you once, 
 least of all a hundred times. I'll prove it to you, Cornelli. Let us 
 however have a good time together and love the four remaining days that 
 I can stay here. Let us look forward, besides, to the time when I shall 
 come again. Just think how much the kid will have grown by then! We 
 shall be able to drive in concert. I'll be the coachman and you'll be 
 the dame in the passenger car. That will be splendid! " 

 But Cornelli could no longer be really gay. She constantly saw the moment 
 before her when Dino had to suppose good - bye, and when all their fun would 
 be over. The morning very came fast enough when she have to take exit 
 of him in Martha's cottage. After Dino had drive away, Cornelli buried 
 her heading in her arms and cried piteously. Martha, besides, was heavy of 
 center, and sat beside her, cry quietly.
