The two children kept up their singing quite a while, for Agnes could not weary of trying the songs for two voices which she had never before been able to use.
Dino did not come until lunch time.

Though he was still very pale, he felt extremely lively.

"Hurrah, Cornelli!" he cried out as he entered the living room.
