Therefore everything had to be made ready for the little patient.
About midnight Mrs.Maxa still went to and fro in a bedroom on the top floor, which was entirely isolated.

When everything necessary had been made ready, she tried to place various embellishments in the little chamber.

Finally she placed in the middle of the table a round bowl, which was to be filled to-morrow with the most beautiful roses from her garden.

Mrs.Maxa wanted the child of her adored Leonore to receive a pleasant impression from her room in the strange new house.

When the morning sun would shine in through the open windows and the green slope of the castle would send its greeting to her, she did not want little Leonore to feel dissatisfied with her new quarters.
