Then she began to repeat Lippo's speech, word for word: "I did not bring the letter.

Lise from the rectory--" "No, no, Maezli, I do not mean it that way," the mother interrupted her.
"I mean that the reports you bring me so often sound quite impossible.

I want you to be as careful and exact in them as Lippo." In the meantime the mother had opened the letter and looked suddenly quite frightened.
"Tell the girl that I shall go to Mr.Rector myself and that she need not wait for an answer," was her message entrusted to Lippo.
The thing she had dreaded so much was settled now.

The Rector let her know in his letter that he had realized the time had come for his pupils to be put into different hands.

He wrote that he had decided to discontinue the studies with them next fall, but that he would be only too glad to be of assistance to Mrs.Maxa in consulting about Bruno's further education.
