"Heidi!" "Get up!" "I'll be right there." "Good morning, grandfather." "So, are you satisfied now?" "The weather is beautiful." "The wind changed during the night." "The sky was full of stars." "Now go and get washed." "Otherwise the sun will be laughing at you." "Yes, yes." "Heidi!" "I just wanted to say ..." "You wanted to say 'good morning'?" "No, I wanted to..." "Good morning, Alp-hi!" " What do you want?" " Do you have to stay at home now?" " Do I?" "Who says so?" " The pastor said it." " I'm ready!" " Do you have cheese and bread?" "You're always thinking about food." "Go now!" "And don't come home too late." "Hey, Alp-hi!" "Nobody told you anything?" "What?" "That you were coming?" "I need to discuss something with you." "No time." "I have to work." "I was preparing my sermon on the way." "So?" "Is it about charity?" "No, about patience." " Luke 21, 19." " Why?" "Isn't it written: 'In your patience ye shall win your souls'?" "Yes, yes." "May help you a bit?" "Surely that's not why you've come up here." "Doesn't matter." "So what do you want?" "You have beautiful grass." " Well, I'm here with a request." " With a request?" "The new bells will be raised Saturday after next." "The children do it, as is the custom." "Your grandchild is one of them." "Will you bring her down?" "Heidi does not like to go down to the village." "But in fall she will have to go to school anyway." "She should have gone last year already." "No more excuses this time." "Who says so?" "The law." "I was given the child two years ago." "At that time, no one asked if I wanted the child." "And now I decide what's to be done with her." "You wouldn't start a fight with the board of education?" "They should leave my Heidi in peace, she likes to be with me." "Here, take this." "Shall we?" "It's far to go up there!" "You promised that we would go on the next sunny day." "This is today." "I want to see where the stream comes from." "We'll get a huge hunger if we go up any further." " I have some food left." " But I have nothing left." "You can have the cheese." "And the piece of sausage?" "You'll get that too, but only once we reach the top." "I'm sorry, you can't have the piece of sausage anymore." "But are we really going?" "Word of honor?" " If I say so." " Hush!" "Look." "I know what you want of me, Father." "Please sit down." "You think these bells can just ring in the reconciliation?" "That's why you came to me and not because of Heidi." "That's what I thought." "Why not?" "When I moved into the village, the misfortune had already happened." "But the others?" "!" "They claim that I did not quench the fire in that windy night." "Out of arrogance and ruthlessness." "The embers supposedly sparked out of my chimney." "And I was to blame that 5 houses and the church tower burned down." " Do you want some cider?" " Why not?" "And yet I can swear that I did not even have a fire going that night." "If only I had let the other houses burn." "But I was the first one trying to put the fire out." "Me and my son." "He was killed while trying to extinguish it." "Six months later his wife, Heidi's mother, died out of grief." "Do you think I can simply forget?" "And after all that, they pursued me in justice!" "I had enough of these neighbors." "That's why I came up here." "Believe it or not, but I am as innocent as Job." "Without any misdeed." "Innocent." "And here you think that I'll go to church on Sundays?" "It would not bother me." "Even if a biblical man like yourself has no need for it." " Think it over again..." " There is nothing to think over!" "Just do it for the child!" " Goodbye, Alp-hi." "The cider was good." " Goodbye." "Here, now we are on top." "Give me my sausage." "But we can go still further up." "Higher up there's only rocks." "You can see that." " And we can't climb up?" " No." " Why not?" " Because there's only rocks." " And where does the stream begin?" " This is the source." " Then where's the beginning of the source?" " Give it a rest!" "There, on the top of the ridge is also a small lake." " Have you ever seen it?" " Sure!" " So you can go up further!" " Will you promise me...  ...that I'll get some of the sausage?" " But are we really going?" " Yes, we're going!" "Here it is:" "The beginning of the source!" "Let's go to the lake." "How beautiful it is up here." " Where does the water come from?" " From the sky." "But you won't make me go up there, I'm telling you right now." "Where are we here?" "At Echo Ridge." "Listen:" "Little swan, little bear!" " Grandfather!" " Heidi!" "Stupid pig-cat!" "You made the echo angry." "Give me your hand." "Let us sing something." "But a beautiful song." "The brook flows into the village." "And where does the water flow then?" "Into the Rhine." "And the Rhine?" " Into Lake Constance." " And it stays there?" " I don't know." " Who knows then?" " The teacher." "He knows it from books." " Can't you read them?" " Not those." " Why not?" "You're so nosey!" "Come on, let's go." "You have to know what you want:" "Either you learn how to read, or...  ... you can go up to the mountain." "You can't do both." "Then I don't want to learn how to read." "Never!" "I'm sure the pastor means well." "But we two don't want to have anything to do with the villagers." "Are the bells heavy?" "It depends on the size." "Can the children even carry them?" "Yes, if they work together." "And if a child is sick?" "Then another one takes its place." "But if all are there already, there's nobody left who can stand in." "Shouldn't we go down after all?" "We could wait around." "We'll see." "Thanks, Grandfather!" "Shall I sing something?" "Yes." " Hey mother, it's starting." " Alright, then go." "I'm going to the village." "Are you sure you don't want to step inside?" "When it's over, I'll knock at the door and wait here." "Hello." "Heidi!" "So you made it?" "I can help with the bell." "But grandfather said someone must go with me." "I see!" "Close the store already." "We want to be there when our boys arrive." "He could have come for the entire day!" "Let the people talk." "The hens can't do it!" "That's right!" "What is right?" "!" "How dare you!" "Let him go." "One should take away the child." "He'll get what's coming to him yet." "Nobody will help him then." "All children to the rope." "But lift the rope only once the bell founder says so." "Lift the rope!" "What's wrong with that little one?" "You don't want to join in?" "It belongs to Alp-hi." "Come, you're part of it as well." "Come on, pull!" "There's enough for all." "All will get a chance." " Did you also get a sausage?" " Yes." " But Brigitte, this is white bread." " This is a soft roll." " Do you want some?" " A little, but the rest is yours." "My late husband used to bring me white bread every Saturday." "Didn't it get hard?" "Later in the week I roasted it..." "... on the fire." " If I had money, I'd buy you..." " ... white bread daily." " I can live without it." " Are you coming to see us?" " Welcome!" "Brigitte, your house looks run down." "Grandfather!" "I got a sausage and was allowed to pull too." "I know!" " Do you live...?" " Peter and I live here." " And in the chambers up there?" " We can't, the roof is broken." "Don't you know how to use a hammer and nails?" "Nobody will show him, how." "I have to climb up every day with the goats." "Someone else would have to do it." "Why don't you take someone in the two chambers over winter." " I could do that." " I mean for a fee, of course." "Of course." "I think I know now what you mean." "You do." "That's good." "Goodbye." "Come, Heidi." "Get home safely." "Heidi, come on!" "We have a visitor." "Your aunt from Frankfurt." " Yes?" " Go see her at once." "She has been waiting for 2 hours." "She's upstairs." "She also brought you something." "Look at that!" "Heidi, how much you have grown!" "Give me your hand." "I hope you remember me?" " You're Aunt Dete." " So, you have not forgotten me then." "I brought you a dress." "Go ahead, unpack it!" "Yes." "Thank you." "But why would you deny her happiness?" "You only get such an opportunity once in a lifetime." "The child stays here." "But then my trip from Frankfurt would have been completely useless." "For the last time:" "The child does not belong in the city." "I see." "And what gives you the right to decide that?" "I took her in, back then." "And I was entrused with Heidi by my late sister." "At that time you didn't have a bad conscience." "But now, after two years..." "I had just obtained a position and could not take care of her." "But now it is high time for a good education." "In the house there's 2 bathrooms, a governess, and electricity." "And you can eat for example chicken or venison even on weekdays." " I'm sure she'll get a good deal." " Stop this nonsense!" "Make a decision." "It's urgent." "Lord Sesemann is going to America in a few days." "That's why he can't leave his daughter Klara alone." "Just imagine, she always has to sit in her chair." "You only ever think of yourself." "That's why you're feuding with everybody." "That's enough." "Get out!" "Good." "I'm leaving on my own." "I won't be sent away." "Adieu!" "She never received such a nice dress in her life." "That's ok." "She is also a good kid." "I must go now." "Unfortunately I can't stay here." "Do you want to accompany me for a bit?" " I don't know." " Of course, just go." "That way we can at least spend a moment together." "Come!" " Adieu." " Have a good trip." "Listen, Heidi." "Are you sure you don't want to come with me?" "Where to?" "To the train station, by car." "I need to ask Grandfather first." "Nonsense." "Just come with me." "We could surprise him." "You could buy him something." "What?" "A tobacco pipe?" "Yes, that way for once you'll have a present for him." "Oh yes!" "But then we have to hurry." "Heidi?" "!" "Where are you going?" "To the train station with my aunt." "When will Heidi come back?" "Right thereafter." "From the train station?" "Who says they're going to the station?" "Heidi." "Just now." "For God's sake." "Alp-hi!" "Alp-hi!" "Heidi!" "You won't find a pipe down here." "What do we do now?" "You can get pipes where I come from." "In Frankfurt." "Is it far?" "Heidi!" "Heidi!" "Heidi!" "Why don't you go there with me?" "I know you'll love it." "But will I be back home tonight?" "Why?" "Otherwise Grandfather will be worried." "But Grandfather would be happy to let you see something new." "But will I be back tomorrow?" "Come with me." "And if you want to, you can be back very quickly." "Just do everything as I told you." " And what's that...?" " Psst!" "No time for questions." "There you are." "Good evening, Sebastian." "Is that all?" " This is my niece." " Then go in, you are expected." "Johann, pick up Lord Sesemann only after 11 o'clock." "Good night." "Good evening, Miss Klara." "Good evening, Miss Rottenmeyer." "I do apologize, the train was late." "I am very grateful that the car could wait that long." "Otherwise everything went fine." "Now, give everyone your hand." " Hello." " So this is the child, Dete?" "Step closer, girl." "What's your name?" "The Miss asked about your name." "Tell her." "Heidi." "What kind of name is that?" "That can't be right." "It's the name of her late mother, Adelheid." "I dare say." "How old are you?" "8 years." "8 years?" "That's impossible." "Is it true, Dete?" "It can't really be verified..." "Sebastian." "Give the child some soup in the meantime." "Are you Klara?" "That's my name." "Is this a car?" "Do you drive it around the house?" "Do you understand what she means?" "Every word." "She says she's hungry." "No wonder after such a long trip." "Come, sit down." "Some bread?" "That's white bread." "May I have this?" "Excuse me?" "I want to bring it to Brigitte." "Of course." "We need a child that can study with Miss Klara." "Lord Sesemann will decide tomorrow." "He'll send the child back." "For God's sake." "Prepare the room for the little one." "You may serve the dessert." "Are you from the railway too?" "There was a man with a big bag, he had the same beautiful buttons." "What did she say?" "That sounds so funny." "It's all very funny." "Leave us, I will ring the bell." "Do you like it?" "I don't taste anything." "What do you mean?" "But enough of that." "Even if you stay here only briefly:" "in this house there are rules." "One moment, Klara, I'm almost done." "The man who just walked out is a servant." "One does not converse with them." "Remember this." "What are you doing?" " Adding Mocken." " "Mocken"?" "Who does that?" "The grandfather." "Klara, this is not a reason to laugh." "You are here in Ludwig Sesemann's house, not on the goose pasture." "I must also ask you to converse in High German." "The language of educated people." "Education is the harmonious development of forces that make us happy." "But I hardly expect a country girl to understood this." "Certainly not." "That's the limit." "She is tired, Miss Rottenmeyer." "One must be able to control oneself." "And now this naughty creature just falls asleep at the table." "Sebastian, get Tinette." "She shall put the child to bed." "We must act quickly." "Fortunately your father only leaves tomorrow." "So, get up, get washed and get dressed." "Quickly." "The ladies and gents are already at breakfast." " Where is Aunt Dete?" " In the kitchen." "The little girl will be here shortly." "Good." "Then you can see what kind of situation we must cope with." "Now, give the child..." "what's her name, anyway?" "Heidi." " We shall call her Adelheid." " I like "Heidi"." "Give the child some time to get used to it." " Klara, how do you like Heidi?" " I find her quite funny." "Funny is always good." "I am responsible." "I understand, you want to send Heidi back immediately." "Frankly..." "The girl stays here." "If she's really no match for Klara," "I will leave the decision to my mother." "She is coming in a few weeks." "Do you understand?" "My mother alone will decide whether to keep her or send her back." "I understand Lord Sesemann." "Doctor Classen." "Why don't you start with the lessons, Miss Rottenmeyer?" "How nice that you came." "Have you had breakfast?" "Come with me, I need to tell you something." "I will be away for half a year." "Do whatever you can to help Klara." "Above all, be energetic." "The Rottenmeyer is too petty." "Unfortunately, Klara has been very passive since the Diphtheria episode." "I will do my best." "You can leave reassured." "I am under no illusions." "Perhaps Klara will never walk again." "Nevertheless, you will understand..." "Ah." "Our Swiss child." " Hello." " Come, sit down with us." "This is the little girl I had brought here." "Did you sleep well?" "Would you like milk or chocolate?" "Milk." "Like you're used to from the pasture." "There's also bread and butter." "Are you the Lord Sesemann?" "No, I am." "That's the nice doctor." " What are your mountains called?" " Echo Ridge and..." "Oh?" "I don't know that one." " Will you join me?" "I have to leave." " I can spare a few minutes." "Heidi, go over there once you've finished your milk." "Alright?" "Come in!" "Can not you come when you are called?" "And one does not take one's unfinished breakfast to school." "Sit down." "Starting tomorrow we shall begin promptly at 9 o'clock." "Oh?" "Where is Aunt Dete?" "Here, no questions are asked, especially not in Swiss German." "We shall now examine you." "Here, read this." "Oh, you don't want to?" "No." "And why not?" "I'd rather be on the mountain." "Nonsense." "Now read." " I can't read." " What?" "Heidi, is this true?" "You really can't read?" "No." "Peter the goat herd can't either." "Hey Klara, may I bring one of those pipes to my grandfather?" "What about the grandfather?" "Leave the things where they are and sit down." "How can Lord Sesemann expect me to teach under these circumstances!" "Why don't we do something else?" "Yes." "Read your essay, Klara." "The lightning rod." "It is desirable at all times to divert the lightning...  ... as it is capable of inflicting great harm to humans and animals alike" "Adelheid, stop that." "Dad wants that we call her Heidi." "Read on." "Nowadays, man has tamed the electric force by installing lightning rods" "A bird, a bird!" "Why is it in a cage?" "Back to your seat, Adelheid!" "Why isn't it allowed outside?" "But Heidi, so it doesn't get eaten by the cat." "Why?" "It can fly away." "Quiet!" "What do you want?" "Can't you speak?" "Why not?" "I see!" "So Miss Rottenmeyer forbid you to speak with me?" "Don't take that so seriously." "Shall I open the window?" "Well?" "What can you see?" "Nothing but houses." "Yes, Frankfurt is a big city." "You can see everything from the attic." "Don't worry, Miss Rottenmeyer is out of the house." "Can you see the mountains from there?" "For that you need to climb higher still." "Come here!" "And hop!" "Look." "This is our cathedral." "Can you see the mountains from there?" "Definitely." "But I've never been up there." "Now you must go back to your room." "Postcards, ladies and gentlemen." "Careful." "Don't be in such a hurry." "Close the door." "We do not need spectators." "Straight into the study, Johann." "Is Heidi upstairs?" "Yes." "H e i d i !" "Heidi!" "Heidi!" "The little girl is nowhere to be found." "I even looked in the attic." "Why should she be there?" "Tinette, come here!" "Lord Sesemann has barely left, and the child elopes already!" "The child does not elope." "You may have frightened it." "Off to the kitchen with you!" " Where's Heidi?" " Klara, please stay in the room." "One should search the streets." "Tinette, go and locate the child." "Yes, at once." " It may be better if I went." " You stay here." "I'll show you the way home." "I know the Sesemann's house." "Don't be so downcast." "I had to scold a little." "But to make up, I'll show you something nice." "Come!" "Something has happened to the child." "There must have been an accident." "Hopefully she was only hit by a bike, not a car." " Or even by a van." " Don't think such things..." "Sebastian!" "Go and search for the child!" "This is the best thing to do." "Thank God, there you are." "You don't need to say a word." "I know exactly where you were." "But don't tell Miss Rottenmeyer that we were in the attic." "The little one is here." "Adelheid, come here." "Where have you been?" "On the tower." "Tower?" "On what tower?" "From the cathedral." "From the cathedral?" "How did you get that idea?" "You better say it." "You don't want to talk?" "What did you do on the tower?" "I was looking for the mountains." "Mountains?" "And so you know it." "Even if it's very far:" "I want to go home." "But Heidi, we specially sent for you." "You think you can just leave?" "Yes, that's what she promised." "Who did?" "My aunt." "Is that true?" "Yes." "She said I could go back home if I don't like it here." "And I don't like it here." "There's no goats and no mountains." "I want to go to grandfather!" "I see that you can talk when you want to..." "Are you making fun of me?" "No, but ..." "Silence!" "I don't want to hear any more." "Even my patience has limits." "In the corner!" "Come in." "Just at the right time!" "Your niece, this naughty..." "Oh!" "Sebastian!" "Get that animal out of here!" "What a cute kitten." "Kill it!" "No, don't kill it!" "Be quiet." "I'll hide it somewhere." "I know you won't betray me." "You lied to her." "Why did you say she could go back home?" "I only meant well." "In fact, I would love to send her home." " Then do so." " I can't do that." "I must wait until the grandmother comes here." " My hands are tied." " What luck!" "But you'll be fired, I can guarantee that!" "Then I'll leave." "But I'm warning you." "Cooks are much sought after these days." "Then go back where you belong!" "I forbid you to see your niece!" "You poor child." "They want to separate us." "You lied." "I want to go home to grandfather." "But then I'll be alone again!" "Papa said I'd have a friend." "Please stop that!" "I'm only human!" "You are trying my nerves" "We begin with geography." "Last time, we stopped with the river Main." "Klara, what do you know about it?" "The Main is 323 miles long." "It also carries ships." "And what about the "Rii"?" "Does it end in Lake Constance?" "Oh I see, you mean the Rhine." "Klara, what is the difference between a river and a lake?" "A river flows into the sea." "Does the Rhine flow into the sea?" "Say this sentence in High German:" ""Does the Rhine flow into the sea?"" "Does the Rhine flow into the sea?" "Good!" "This question is to be answered in the affirmative." "And then?" "Then the water evaporates and returns as rain or snow." "Miss Rottenmeyer!" "What now?" "I have already been where the water begins." "There is also a small lake, near the Echo Ridge." "When you shout something there, it is repeated three times." "Whatever." "Please let Heidi talk:" "Are there any flowers there?" "No, not up there." "But next to the cabin, further down." "Gentian, alpine roses, lobelia..." "How do you know all this?" "From grandfather." "He has two goats." "You can see the mountains from the cabin." "And sometimes we sing together in front of the cabin." "I only I could walk..." "I'd love to see that." "But maybe you can." "Give it a try!" "For Heaven's sake, no!" "Stop this nonsense." "Shall I sing a song?" " No." " Please do." "May I return to grandfather when Mrs. Sesemann gets here?" "I already explained why that's not possible." "A man would like to see Miss Klara personally." "Let him in!" "Good day." "See what I have for you." "Are they all for me?" "Sebastian!" "Sebastian!" "Help!" "I would love to keep them all." "Have you gone crazy?" "Miss Rottenmeyer's afraid of cats." "Heidi said that there was space here and Klara wanted something to play." "The cats all have to leave the house." "Including the kitten from yesterday." "Sebastian!" "There is something under my skirts." "Not possible." "Where?" "I don't see anything." "This Heidi." "Don't worry." "These animals will leave the house." "I will write to Mrs. Sesemann at once." "Heidi must leave." "I try to be objective." "Heidi is not unintelligent." "But she just does not fit into the house." "She can't even read." "And doesn't want to learn." "This is worrysome indeed." "Exactly." "And therefore it would be best if...  ...you brought Heidi to me." "As you wish." "Klara?" "Grandma, please don't send Heidi away." "It's much nicer since she is here." "I don't even mind the wheelchair." "And even the teaching goes by faster." "You happy child." "In my day, time seemed to stand still at school." "Heidi." "I hope you remember what I told you yesterday." "You will address Mrs. Sesemann as "gracious Madam"." "I know." "If she asks whether you want to go home, you tell the truth." "What is that?" "They're mine!" "So, here's our little guest." "Good evening Mrs..." "Madam Gracious." "How are you." "But I am not a "gracious Madam." Just call me grandma." "Look, I found these rolls in the little girl's closet." " Rolls." " She wants to take them to her village." "But Heidi, hard as these are, they're no good to anybody." "Yes they are." "Brigitte roasts them over the fire." "That is very reasonable." "Listen, Heidi, won't you learn how to read?" "Why not?" "Peter the goat herd said: 'You're not allowed on the mountain if you can read.'" "Then he lied to you." "Really?" " Yes." "May I read you a story aloud?" " Oh please do, grandma!" "Give me the little book." " This one?" " Yes." "Miss Rottenmeyer, you may also listen." "Do you want to hear the story of the wise shepherd?" "A long time ago there lived a shepherd." "He was very clever." "One day the King, wearing his golden crown, passed him and asked:" ""Can you answer me 3 questions?" "I will reward you abundantly." "How many stars are in the sky?" The shepherd said:" ""Send out your servants and let them count the grains of sand on the beach."" "Hence infinitely many." "The King asked:" "How long does it take it to ride around the earth?" " And what did the shepherd answer?" " I do not know." "If the sun is always right above you, it takes exactly 24 hours." "And the King's last question:" ""How long does eternity last?"" "The shepherd thought and said:" ""Somewhere is a very high mountain."" "Higher than the Echo Ridge?" "Higher than all the mountains in the world put together." "Every 1000 years comes a bird that whets its beak on it." "And when the mountain is worn away, one second of eternity will have past. "" "Did you like the story?" "Yes." "This book is full of stories." "Don't you want to be able to read them?" "You should be able to read when you go home again." "If I could only read already." "Here is another letter." "From Frankfurt." "Who says so?" "The mother." "She saw the postmark." "And you should visit us again someday." " This is for you." " Thank you." " Is the letter from that aunt?" " No." "From whom then?" "From a Mrs. Sesemann, the grandmother of the sick child." "Alp-hi, is Heidi coming back home soon?" "No." "The woman writes..." "...read it yourself." "I'm not curious." "What does she write?" "That she is fine and feels right at home." "She can even read very well already." "Then I'm off." "Alp-hi, does this mean..." "Heidi has forgotten us." "Now we must forget her too." "But if Heidi does not go to the pasture with me in the springtime...  ... then I say, the whole world can...!" "Now I have all the dresses together." "Do you like them, Klara?" "Not bad." "She looks like a fine Miss out of town." "I also have concerns with my daughter." "I'll put on the spring dress." "It will soon be time for it." "Children, Johann wants to say something." "Tell the children." "It's about the horse." "It still has no name." "And since Lord Sesemann returns soon, the matter is urgent." "Maybe the misses can think of an appropriate name." "If you know a nice name, you can go visit it." "I know something." "There's this story of a white horse in grandmother's book." "Early in the morning, Scrooge went to the barn." "He saddled his horse, Astrid." "I think Astrid is a beautiful name." "I would have never thought of it." "A purely Germanic name." "Miss Klara, you will see how pretty the horse is." "Sweet little horsey." "Now you can see Astrid." "I'll be back later." "Can you see it?" "More or less." "Come, Astrid." "I can caress her skin." "It is very soft." "Klara!" "You can stand?" "I'll call Johann." "No, stay!" "I can't believe it." "Is it true?" "I must try it again." "Does it hurt?" "Why are you crying?" "I can stand." "I can't sleep." "If I can stand, I should be able to walk." "Are you OK?" "Yes." "Do you think I can walk to the table?" "Definitely." "You can walk." "But it makes me very tired." "Let's try again tomorrow." "No, then you can visit me." "What was that?" " Something fell in Klara's room." " This is not possible." "How do I get back to bed?" "I'll help you." "Oh!" "Tinette, Sebastian, Dete." "Call a doctor." "Quickly." "You receive me as if I were a prince." "Our Swiss child is here too." "Hello." "I brought you something." "Bring up the packages." " You'll have a drink with me?" " Of course." " Is my daughter already asleep?" " No, Lord Sesemann." "Then she must be expecting me." "My God!" "Dad." "Klara!" "Is that possible?" "You are coming towards me?" "I can walk again." "And you bring me home without saying a word!" "Pinch me in the nose, so that I can believe it." "You don't need to carry me anymore!" "It's too bad that Mrs. Sesemann cannot see this." "Why did nobody write me about this?" "I only found out recently." "And we wanted to surprise you." "And you have succeeded." "Be careful, Klara." "How did you manage that?" "The little girl has helped me a lot." " Heidi?" " She gave me courage." "She made the greatest effort." "Heidi." "Give me your hand." "This is only a down payment." "The rest comes later." "This is yours." " And this is for you." " Thank you, Lord Sesemann." "From today on call me dad." "You belong to us." "I'll never let you go." "I'll settle this with the attorney." "It is high time." "Tinette, take the child upstairs." "I will carry the package." " Good night." " Good night, Heidi." "A doll." "That is what the Indians in Peru wear." "Do you like it?" "This is the prettiest doll I've ever received." "This is a beautiful gift." "Is it true that I must stay here?" "Of course." "You are lucky." "Look at the pictures." "The mountains." "And a lake." "Does it look like this in Switzerland?" "But now to bed." "Good night." "Our cabin!" "Why are you standing around here?" "Sebastian didn't have time yet." "You don't need him to carry the laundry to the attic." "Wild horses could not drag me alone up there." "Take the basket." "I'm coming too." "Do not be afraid." "I'm only putting a latch on the door." "Crazy women." "Ugh!" "Shame on you." "Go." "What's going on." "Do you want everyone to go crazy?" "It's easy to be scared, after what happened here." "It's the third time that the front door is wide open in the morning." " This place is haunted." " Nonsense." "There's moaning and shuffling." "Stop it!" "I'm shutting up already." "But the ghost isn't." "This can happen in the best houses." "The last place I worked was haunted too..." "You already said that yesterday." "It started in Madam's room..." "What's the matter?" "Come here." "We must contact Lord Sesemann." " There are weird noises." " Where?" " It came from the attic." " Nonsense." "Like the story about the unlocked front door." "It's probably just a student prank." "Lord Sesemann will think that we didn't lock the door." "But I did!" "I'll stand guard." "There are no ghosts here!" "Lord Sesemann." "Please come outside." "What is it?" "I have a clear head." "But this place is haunted." " For you maybe." " Do not jest." "Someone floated up the stairs." " Who did?" " The old woman from the image." "Sebastian had a pipe dream." "Sometimes there are inexplicable facts." "Sure, that's nothing serious." "But there are inexplicable things that may not be doubted." "I am a businessman." "I only believe in what I see." "So do I. But I once saw liquid vanish into thin air." "Are you saying that the dead can come back to life?" "Sesemann, you are a dilettante." "You can't fob me." "Come, sit down again." "There is a great-grandmother in the family, of which it is said...  ... right." "What's odd is that Sebastian claims to have seen her." "But Heidi." "You know me." " The nice doctor." " Yes." "You must have been dreaming something beautiful." "Yes, I always dream." "What is it you dream of?" "I dream of home." "Of the mountains?" "And the pasture?" "Isn't it lonely and boring up there?" "There's nothing more beautiful and more fun." "I can't promise anything, Heidi,  but I think that soon everything will be well again." "Good night." "And sleep well." "The child is sleepwalking." "She'll become mentally ill." "What can you do?" "Is there a cure?" "There is a medicine, it's even nonprescription." "A one-way ticket to Switzerland." "I should send the little one home?" "She has everything she wants here." "And how will Klara cope alone?" "Klara will find new friends." "She can walk again now." "Now it's Heidi who is sick." "Homesick." "Homesick?" "Really?" "Where is grandma's book?" "Here it is." "I'm taking it with me." "There is also white bread." "Thank you." "This is for Brigitte." "Hurry up." "I'll fetch the suitcase." "You'll be in Basel by evening." "And tomorrow I'll be home home." "Grandfather doesn't know anything." "Are you coming to the station?" "No, it would make me cry." "And dad wants me to be very brave." "But Klara." "Don't cry." "Now I am alone." "But you're coming to Switzerland in the summer." "I know how that will be." "I'll be stuck in Bad Ragaz and won't be allowed on the pasture." "They'll say it's too trying for me." "But you must see the cabin and the goats." "Heidi, do you think they'll allow me to sleep in the hay one time?" "Of course." "You can stay throughout the summer." "Don't worry, I'll talk to dad." "He wants me to get well." "You take the trains listed and spend the night in Basel." "But make sure to close the curtains..." "...so my late great-grandmother won't appear before you." "Dete, do you want to go with them and say hi to the grandfather?" "No, I'd rather not." "I couldn't take you back with me." "I thought you'd find happiness here." "I always had your best interest at heart." "Tell the grandfather that." " That's no reason to cry." " Now I'm all alone." "See how happy the child looks!" "Adieu." "Farewell, sunshine of our house." "Enough of that sobbing." "Let's go." "Alright Heidi." "We'll stick to the arrangements." "In a few weeks, we'll go to Bad Ragaz in Switzerland." "Klara will heal completely there and we will come to visit you." "Then I can see the pretty flowers." "And learn how to milk goats." "Thank you for everything, Lord Sesemann." "What did you promise me?" " Should I?" " Of course." "Look at the nice hat that Heidi is wearing." "She won't recognize us anymore." "She became a fine city woman." "Run to Brigitte." "What are you standing around?" "Be gallant and carry her suitcase." "Did she arrive by herself?" "There was a man with her." "And now the child is going back to the pasture?" "That's what she says." "We need to talk with the priest." "What a beautiful coat you have." " And this hat." " I don't need it." " Is all this yours?" " Yes." "This is for you." " You didn't forget!" " No." "And this is for you." "A giant sausage!" "Now I must continue." "To see grandfather." "Go ahead." "Peter will bring the suitcase to the pasture." "It is said that you can read now." "Is it true?" " That's not hard." " Read this." " I have no time now." " Just one sentence." " 'The lazy Friedel'." " That's only the title." "Friedel was the youngest of 7 sons, who lived on the farm..." "Now I'm in deep trouble." "Now will you learn to read as well?" "Guess I'll have to, darn it!" "Heidi!" "Grandfather." "You can go now." "Alp-hi." "What do you want?" "Tomorrow is the Pentecost..." "... I did not come alone." "Is Heidi back?" "Won't you say hello to people?" "We didn't come here to make you feel uneasy." "We came here because we all want to shake hands with you." "Huh." "And where are your women?" "It's too steep up here." "You'll see the women when you come to church." "We would be delighted if you would come too." "You'll be waiting for a long time." "We are leaving now." "Perhaps you'll come yet." "It would take a miracle." "Heidi!" "Is Alp-hi coming or not?" "Waiting for Alp-hi..." "Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good." "Amen." "To begin today's worship, let us sing Psalm 364."
