In this manner he lived through heavenly days.
They were no less heavenly for the other children.

Dino and Cornelli had started the large undertaking of laying out Martha's garden after their own plan.

They were so busy inventing things and carrying them out that they could hardly ever be found.
Agnes struggled with Dino for first place in Cornelli's affection, but Dino was always the victor.

Cornelli never forgot that he had been her first friend, who had held fast to their friendship.

For this she remained faithful to him.
It was a consolation to Agnes that she could play on the lovely piano whenever she wanted to and that Cornelli was always home in the evenings, when she could sing with her.
