She took us all about the garden and showed us the place where Philo was buried; a white cross stands there with his name on it.

And Nora was buried by his side, under a big linden.
On the fourth day Mrs.Stanhope came to table with us, and after dinner she talked very kindly with us, and said that now it was time for us to begin to work.

Oh, how surprised Fani and I were when we found out what we were to do! What kind of hard work do you guess it is?
No work at all! You won't believe it, but it is true.
We just sit all the morning in the school-room and study! The teacher comes at nine o'clock and stays till one, and Fani and I are the only scholars! Of course Fani is much cleverer than I am; but the teacher is very kind, and when I cannot do my lessons he only says: "Come, be brave, and you'll soon do as well as your brother!" I get along very well, and I am not so ashamed as I was when all the children in school were ahead of me.

It is one o'clock before we know it, and we are glad when school-time comes the next day.

After dinner we all go into the garden; and Mrs.Stanhope takes Fani with her, and he talks with her about his lessons and his ideas about all sorts of things; and it is easy to see that she likes him very much, better of course than she does me; you know how frank he is.
