Cornelli did it with a full and willing heart, for she realized what
the children's mother had done for her. Soon afterwards, Dino and
Cornelli ran away for they had had a simultaneous thought. They did
not want to wait another moment before bringing Martha the wonderful
news. Nobody on earth could share their boundless happiness as Martha
would.
Martha's heart overflowed when she heard what had been proposed. Between
freely flowing tears she said again and again: "Oh, Cornelli! Everything
has happened so wonderfully for you. God has ordained it much more
wisely than we could have wished and prayed for. From now on, we shall
leave everything entirely in His hands. We'll do that as long as we
live, won't we, Cornelli?"
Cornelli nodded with understanding; she had not forgotten how she had
complained to Martha, and how Martha had told her to seek God's help.
Martha had assured her that the help would always come, even if it
revealed itself differently from the way she expected. Now it had all
turned out so gloriously, and so much more splendidly than Cornelli
could ever have imagined!
There had never been such rejoicing in the house as Agnes started when
she and Nika had retired to their room in the evening and Cornelli had
come to pay her accustomed little evening visit.
