CHAPTER II DIVERS WORRIES

Before the mother went off to church on Sunday morning she always glanced into the living-room to see if the children were quietly settled at their different occupations and to hope that everything would remain in order during her absence. When she looked in to-day everything was peaceful. Bruno and Mea were both sitting in a corner lost in a book, Kurt had spread out his drawings on a table before him, and Lippo and Mäzli were building on their small table a beautiful town with churches, towers and large palaces. The mother was thoroughly1 satisfied and went away. For awhile everything was still. A bright ray of sunshine fell over Kurt's drawing and gaily2 played about on the paper. Kurt, looking up, saw how the meadows were sparkling outside.
"The two rascally3 milk-spillers from yesterday ought to be locked up for the whole day," Kurt suddenly exploded.
Mea apparently4 had been busy with the same thought for she assented5 very eagerly. The two talked over the whole affair anew and had to give vent6 to their indignation about the scoundrels and their pity for poor Loneli. Mäzli must have found the conversation entertaining, for glancing over to the others, she let Lippo place the blocks whichever way he pleased, something that very seldom happened. Only when the children said no more she came back to her task.
"Goodness gracious!" Kurt exclaimed suddenly, starting up from his drawing; "you ought to have reminded me, Mea, that we have to bring some clothes to school for the poor people whose houses were burnt up. You heard it, but mother does not even know about it yet."
"I forgot it, too," said Mea quietly, continuing to read.
"Mother knows about it long ago. I told her right away," Lippo declared. "Teacher told us to be sure not to forget."
"Quite right, little school fox," Kurt replied, while he calmly kept on drawing. As long as his mother knew about the matter he did not need to bother any more.
