We run into every corner of it, for all about are stone seats to rest on, and white marble statues, and the garden is large and beautiful and stretches way down to the river; and there stand the great lindens, and it is all the most splendid and beautiful place in the world.

Please tell Fred that I am looking all the time after beetles and such things, but I haven't been able to catch any; he mustn't be vexed with me, perhaps I shall succeed better by and by.
After supper Aunt Clarissa sits down at the piano, and we sing Nora's favorite song and several others that she has taught me.
Generally Fani sits in the other room and draws by himself; but when he sings with us it sounds much better, and it's only when he sings, too, that Mrs.Stanhope comes in to listen.

After this, we get our lessons ready for the next day.

But time passes much too quickly here; and Fani and I are always sorry when the day is over and we have to go to bed.

I am almost never tired now; and, oh, it is so lovely to live here and to be with Fani.
