[Gritli’s Children by Johanna Spyri]@TWC D-Link bookGritli’s Children CHAPTER VI 12/31
There are plenty of boxes to be had there, and everything that you want, and there are nice places for things, and there isn't such danger of accidents. And if anything does go wrong, you are there, aunty, and in a minute it is set right again.
Do write and say that we may leave here on Saturday, and then on Sunday we shall be at home again.
How glad we shall be! Good-bye, dear aunty; your ever-loving nephew, FRED. The evening came; lovely and bright.
Under the three oaks were assembled the two Fink boys, the baker's son from Lucerne, the shoemaker's apprentice from Uri, the hotel porter from Schwyz, and Feklitus! Oscar stood in the midst with his banner, and looked sharply in every direction, for it was almost six o'clock and neither Fred nor Fani was in sight.
The clock struck; five, ten minutes passed, and they did not come. Oscar felt that it was useless to wait longer.
