"Oh, I understand; that is fine. And how is Johanna?"
"Johanna brought me to the door of the house."
"Why didn't you bring her up with you?"
"She said she would rather stay downstairs and wait over at the church."
"And you are to meet her there?"
"Yes."
"Well, I hope she will not get impatient. There is a little front yard over there and the windows are half overgrown with ivy, as though it were an old church."
"But I should not like to keep her waiting."
"Oh, I see, you are very considerate, and I presume I ought to be glad of it. We need only to make the proper division of the time—Tell me now how Rollo is."
"Rollo is very well, but papa says he is getting so lazy. He lies in the sun all the time."
