“Yes, but I have just written to him that if he will rub himself with kerosene he will get well.” “Oh no, Aunt Grenertsen. Six of them are not bruised at all, and these two only the least bit.” Emilia, wholly attached to her family, continued to reside with the marchioness, who saw her race renewed in the children of Hippolitus and Julia. Thus surrounded by her children and friends, and engaged in forming the minds of the infant generation, she seemed to forget that she had ever been otherwise than happy. “Sure,” he said. “Let’s go to it.
