[Cornelli by Johanna Spyri]@TWC D-Link bookCornelli CHAPTER X 46/52
I shall let you manage the children in the winter, and you shall arrange whatever they are to learn, but they must come here in the summer when I can enjoy all the results of their studies.
I shall also enjoy the great advantage of having you manage my house when you are here.
Does that suit everybody, or am I getting more than my share ?" At last the mother composed herself. "Oh, Mr.Hellmut, how can I thank you ?" she said, offering him her trembling hand.
"I do not know how to express what is in my heart.
How can I be grateful enough for such boundless kindness? You cannot know what your generosity means to us all." Even the children had understood that this unheard-of bliss was true. Nika was the first to run with beaming eyes to the Director and to seize his hand, but she could find no words to show her gratitude. Agnes and Dino, too, had run towards the Director, and the latter did not know how to shake all the hands that were offered to him.
