When the boys asked Apollonie to admit them, she opened a little side door for them, because Mr.Trius had hidden the other key.

Salo lifted the armoured knight to his shoulders, and had the long, blue cloak draped around him.

He looked like a frightful giant as he wandered up and down the big room, and Kurt recognized the ghost of Wildenstein he had seen that dreadful night.
Salo, with his charming disposition, soon entirely won over his uncle, who decided to send his nephew to the neighboring town to study, and Salo and Bruno were to spend their study-time as well as their holidays together.
When the summer holidays were over, Salo and Bruno moved into town, but even this leave-taking did not prove very hard.

The children were not to be separated very long, for the boys were to spend many week-ends at home, besides all their holidays.

Bruno had soon written to his mother from town that she need not worry at all about the Knippel boys, as they scarcely ever saw them.
When Mrs.Maxa cannot help recalling all her former fears and plans for the future because her son's violent temper caused her such anxiety, she said to herself with a glad heart: Oh how can we Thine acts foretell, When Thou are far more wise than we?
Apollonie has become the real, true Castle-Apollonie of yore and manages for her master's sake to live in undisturbed peace with Mr.Trius.
