"If you want to be alone with Mrs.Wolf I can easily go to my own room." Cornelli felt that it was very nice of the boy not to resent her words and to be willing to give place to her.

She therefore entered.

Martha had already put a chair in readiness for her and greeted her heartily.
"I expected you, Cornelli," she said.
