I assisted the old witch with her overshoes , a fact which made a great impression on Gurli . When Ottilia said good-night , she only offered her cheek to be kissed . On the way home I pressed her arm and talked of the sympathy of souls and of the stars as the home of the souls . I went to the Grand Hotel , had some punch and arrived home at two o'clock . Gurli was still up ; I saw it , but I went straight to my room , like the bachelor I was , and Gurli did not like to follow me and ply me with questions . `` On the following day I gave Ottilia a lesson in astronomy . Gurli declared that she was much interested and would like to be present ; but Ottilia said we were already too far advanced and she would instruct her in the rudiments later on .
