Mary Nash Quotes:
Klara Sesemann: Didn't Dete tell you?
Heidi: Tell me what?
Klara Sesemann: That you're to live here with me.
Heidi: No, she didn't tell me.
Klara Sesemann: You see, my mama's dead, and my papa's business keeps him in Paris most of the time, and I haven't anyone to play with.
Heidi: But I can't live here! I'm going back to the Grandfather right away!
Fräulein Rottenmeier: Indeed you are.
Klara Sesemann: No! I like her!
Fräulein Rottenmeier: Andrews will take you home in the morning.
Klara Sesemann: No! I want her to stay!
Fräulein Rottenmeier: I know what is best for you, Klara.
Klara Sesemann: My papa sent for her! You must wait until he comes home!
Fräulein Rottenmeier: Klara, you'll make yourself ill.
Klara Sesemann: I will! I know I will, if you don't let me keep Heidi!
Heidi: But Klara, I can't stay here!
Fräulein Rottenmeier: Be quiet, both of you.
Fräulein Rottenmeier: Such behavior is inexcusable! You shall be punished severely!
Klara Sesemann: Don't you touch her or I'll tell my papa!
Fräulein Rottenmeier: All right, dear, don't excite yourself. I had forgotten that it might upset you. Adelheid, you shall spend the rest of the day in your room.
Heidi: But I can't do that! Aunt Dete is going to take me home!
Fräulein Rottenmeier: Your aunt went away this morning.
Heidi: She went away? But she's coming back?
Fräulein Rottenmeier: No, she's not. I discharged her.
Heidi: But she's got to take me home!
Fräulein Rottenmeier: I'm afraid not. She cares nothing about you. She told me to sell you to the Gypsies.
Klara Sesemann: Oh, Fräulein, don't!
Fräulein Rottenmeier: I doubt whether you shall ever see your Aunt Dete again.
Fräulein Rottenmeier: [Heidi yawns at the dinner table] Adelheid! Did I actually see you yawn? I'm horrified!
Klara Sesemann: Don't scold her. She's had such a hard day.
Fräulein Rottenmeier: I am trying to be patient, Klara. But it is the height of impropreity to yawn at the dinner table. A yawn at any time is a sign of disrespect and lack of control. It shows that the attention is wandering and that the young person is not interested in the improvement of her mind.
[Klara giggles]
Fräulein Rottenmeier: Oh!
[Heidi has fallen asleep]
