Soon the mother came in with Mux.

The little boy had heard Dino's last words to Cornelli and had already announced to his mother that Cornelli was sure to stay, because Dino would not let her go.
"Oh, I am so glad that you have settled it all between you! I am so pleased that you are going to stay, Cornelli," she said, full of joy.
"I was just going to propose it to you, and I am so glad that Dino has persuaded you.

Your father has already given me his permission and all I have to do is to let him know right away.

Now you can stay quietly together, for there is no hurry about supper." The mother immediately wrote to Mr.Hellmut, and soon after that, fat little Trina was running over to the hotel.
Cornelli had again settled down beside Dino with a mixed feeling of wonderful delight and fear.

He noticed her timidity.
"Oh, yes, Dino, I love to stay with you and Mux," she assured him.
"Your mother is so good to me, too, but I am afraid of your two sisters.
I have to think of poor little block-headed Trina all the time, when she does everything wrong and does not know how to do otherwise; you all despise her for it and she can't help it.
