"I am very sorry indeed, that Mr. Ehrenreich should suffer from my
children's noise;" said Mrs. Birkenfeld, understanding at once the state
of the case, "if Mr. Ehrenreich does not walk out at all, he certainly
ought to have an unusually airy place to work in. I have an idea; quite at
the farthest end of our garden, away from the house, and from the
frequented part of the grounds, stands a cool summer house, with seats and
a table. If Mr. Ehrenreich would use that for his study, I would direct
the children to keep entirely away from that part of the garden."
Aunt Ninette was delighted with this proposal; she said she would suggest
it to her husband, and she was sure that he would accept it with many
thanks.
"And you, my dear little girl, I hope your Aunt will allow you to come to
see us to-day and every day. You shall get well in our garden; my children
have much to make up to you for."
"Can I really go into that beautiful garden where the children are?" asked
little Dora, who could scarcely believe in her good fortune; and such a
look of gladness shot from her eyes at the thought, that her aunt looked
at her with surprise, for she had never seen an expression like that in
them before.
