"Yes. I was in Tivoli. I was in Castel Gandolfo, in Nemi. Wonders! I will tease Zosia until in truth we will go there and Pan Gronski with us."
"Will you take me along?" asked Miss Anney.
"Of course! We will all go in the autumn or next spring. Did you folks also talk about a trip?"
For a time there was no response.
"No," Miss Anney finally replied. "We were talking about birds of flight."
"Why, now it is spring and birds do not fly away."
"Nevertheless, you ladies are making preparations for flying away," answered Ladislaus with a sigh.
"True," rejoined Marynia; "but that is because Aunt is going away; and she"--here she pointed at Miss Anney with her riding whip--"has urged us all three to go where the doctor is sending Aunt."
After which she said to Ladislaus:
"You would not believe, sir, how honest she is and how she loves Aunt."
