Storyboard Text
- The next day everyone was very busy preparing for the expected guest. Tinette put on a nice new cap in her honour, Sebastian collected all the foot stools he could find and put them in conveneint places so that she would find one ready wherever she sat down. Miss Rottenmeier fussed about the place, inspecting everything, as though deterimined to show her authority and that she did not mean to be deprived of any of it by the new arrival.
- Gracious Madam?"Madam Gracious"!
- It was easy to see that she was an important person in the household and was accustomed to be treated as such.
- As the carriage came rolling up to the front door, Sebastian and Tinette ran downstairs. Miss Rottenmeier followed in a more dignified manner to receive the guest.
- Good evening, Madam Gracious
- Come over here, my dear, and let me have a good look at you
- Heidi sat in her room quietly saying over to herself the words with which she had been told to address the old lady. They sounded so strange to her that she rearranged them, thinking Miss Rottenmeier must surely have made a mistake and madam should come first.
- but instead she makes the most ridiculous plans and even tries to carry them out
- I just wanted to know where Heidi is, and what does she do with herself in the afternoons?
- Tinette stuck her head around the door, and said sharply, 'You're to go to the study'. Heidi did as she was told and went into the room.
- After Heidi greeted her, the laughing old lady asked 'What was that, is that how you address people up in the mountains?'. 'No, no ones called that at home' said Heidi gravely. 'Nor here either. In the nursery I am always just "Grandmamma" and that's what you shall call me too. You'll remember that all right, won't you?' said Grandmamma.
- During the next afternoon, after a little nap with Clara, Grandmamma went looking for Miss Rottenmeier in the dining room but found it empty. 'Perhaps she's having a little nap too' she thought and went on to Miss Rottenmeier's bedroom and knocked sharply on the door. It was opened after a moment by the lady who looked rather taken aback at sight of her visitor.
- She sits in her room she might be doing some thing useful if she had the least inclination that way
- After Grandmamma called Heidi into her room to get her started with reading, as soon as she looked into the book she burst in to tears as the green medow, animals and the shepherd reminded her off home. Grandmamma pacified her and talked to her about her lessons and persuaded her to learn hoe to read.
- After a few days of Grandmamma's visit a change came over Heidi and she learnt how to read and adored it. Everybody including Mr. Usher thought it was a miracle. The book given to her became her prized possession and reading became her greatest delight, all thanks to Grandmamma. Heidi felt proud if someone asked her to read aloud for them.
- After being a blessing for Heidi in Frankfurt and providing Clara with love and care Grandmamma's visit had to come to an end. All the days of her visit passed happily but rather quickly.
