The latter looked immovably at the little girl, while tears were coursing down her cheeks.
"Oh, oh," she said, as soon as she was able to control her emotion, "one does not need to ask where our little Leonore comes from.

It seems to me as if old times had come back again.

Yes, she looked exactly like that when she came to the castle; only she was not quite so pale." "Leonore," Mrs.Maxa said, "Mrs.Apollonie has known both your father and mother very well.

So I thought that you would like to have her for a nurse." "Certainly," Leonore replied happily, while she stretched out her hand in a friendly manner towards Apollonie.

"Won't you tell me everything you know about them ?" Apollonie was only too glad to do that, but in her agitation she had first to wipe her eyes.
There was no end to the children's enthusiasm when they found that their mother was to be their own again.
