Afterwards Cornelli sat down on the garden bench.

Just as before, she put the book in her lap, and it soon fell to the ground.

Cornelli peeped about her, at the trees and at the ground, but she did not really seem to see them.
At coffee time Cornelli punctually appeared at table and quickly gulped down everything that was poured out for her, as if it were a medicine that simply had to be swallowed.

Afterwards she sat there frowning, for she had to remain at her seat till the ladies got up; she had learned this custom from her cousin.
"Don't always frown and make such horns! One can see them quite plainly even through your curtains," said Miss Dorner.

"It won't be long before you can go away." At last the ladies got up to go into the garden.
