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.

He told her to stay in town till the summer holidays, for he was obliged himself to stay away till then.
He gave her permission to invite for the holidays all the family who had been so good to her, for he and Cornelli, too, had much reason to be grateful to Mrs.Halm.There was plenty of room for all of them in the house, and he would like to have them with him all summer long.
Cornelli at first was a little disappointed that it was going to be so long before she could be home and see again the garden, the meadows and the beech wood, for her longing for them had grown more and more.
But when she thought of the prospect of having all the family with her all summer, including Dino and his mother, she was so happy that all her disappointment vanished.
Her joy was supreme when that day at lunch time she gave the family her father's invitation.
