The officials decided to give the latter to Marianne, since she had rendered her the last services and put her in her last bed.
The dress had once been very beautiful, for the material was heavy and costly, but it was much worn, and yet Marianne thought: "It is too handsome for me.

I will not wear it but it is a dear remembrance," for she had only seen the dear woman in that one dress.

While they were still talking over what should be done with the piano, the landlord of the Krone in Lower Wood drove up with an empty wagon and took the piano, the beds, the table and the two easy chairs, for everything had been hired from him; but he had been paid in advance up to this time.
So nothing was left for the little boy but the velvet suit that he wore.
Now they began to talk about what was to be done with the boy, and some propositions were made as to how he could be cared for.

At this point Marianne stepped forth and said that she would keep the little boy until she was leaving.

In three weeks she was going to move down to Oakwood to her cousin's, for her house was as good as sold.
