Sitting
down beside her ink-well she wrote as follows:
DEAR PAPA:
I am sure it is more beautiful at home now than anywhere else. May I
come home soon? I am sure that the violets are out and that everything
is getting green in the woods. Soon there will be lots of flowers in
the garden, and later on the roses, and then all the berries and
forget-me-nots in the meadows will come out. I know now that it is
nowhere as beautiful as at home. I should love to show the mother and
the girls everything, and I know that Mux would adore the little kid.
Dino already loves the meadows and the garden, and I hope that he will
come to Iller-Stream again. If I could only soon see it all again!
A great many kisses,
from your daughter,
CORNELLI.
Cornelli did not get an answer from her father for three weeks. He
wrote to her that his journey had been lengthened beyond his
expectation. He also said how glad he was that his daughter had suddenly
realized what a beautiful home she had, but that he disapproved entirely
of her leaving her school abruptly.
