Chapter 11: Liesl's Something or other

Skipping in my new brown playdress with my guitar and accompanied by seven children all wearing the playclothes I had made them from drapes. I push the gate up, and signal for the children to 'follow me'. The elder girls have picnic baskets and Friedrich carries a basketball. I hear Marta ask before she's even left the villa.

"Where are we going?"

"You'll see." I reply.

I wait for them to all skip ahead of me. I close the gate and catch up to them. I come across them at Mozart's Footbridge, they all travel to one side and I follow them. They admire the boats passing under the bridge all pointing something out. I turn my head and notice some beautiful mountains on the other side. I signal for them to take a look.

"Look over here!" I shout.

They all run to the other side, admiring the mountains just as I had moments before.

"Oh, Look!"

"Look at the tower!" I hear Friedrich say as he notices an interesting old structure, probabley an old castle but it's too far away to see clearly. If were to make it on time, we'd have to leave now.

"Come on!" I yell at them, skipping away.

We finally reach the city, cars are bustling on their way. People speding on bicycles, all on there way to there very important places. Places of leasure places of business, How riviting! I love the city, it's so full of life! We reach my favorite fountain in the center of Salzburg. We gaze at it, I'm fully ingrosed in the fountain as are the rest of the children.

"Would you like to have a picnic with us?" I hear a voice say behind me. It's Liesl's voice, I turn to see who she's talking to. He's a messanger boy, looks as if he's on his way to make a delivery. I notice the blonde hair sticking out under his cap but I'm too far away to notice the color of his eyes. He looks about Liesl's age.

"Picnic's are for children, and so is that." He gestures to her dress.

"Get up." Liesl looks hurt.

"Please say something nice." I decide to interupt.

"I don't believe we've meet." I walk towards them, they notice both notice me and look in my direction. Poor Liesl looks embrassed.

"Oh.this is.Rolfe." Um.telegrams.delivery boy.walk alone.

"How do you do, Rolfe?" He looks to me nodding in acknowledgement.

"How do you do."

"I'm Fraulein Maria." Liesl cuts me off.

"The governess of my brothers and sisters." Ahh. Young love. I smile. I look towards Liesl and answer.

"That's right, Liesl's Friend."

"Yes.uh..well.I have to be going." I watch as Liesl watches as Rolfe speeds away on his bicycle. Liesl's attention is focused only on Rolfe. I stand putting my hands on my hips.

"Young Lady - your brothers and sisters and their governess await you." Liesl turns to me and smiles.

"Let's go!" I gesture to the rest of the children and we skipp to the market place.
