Heidi:
Shall I get ready to go home now?
Sesemann:
No. I have another Christmas present for you: a home with us as long as you live.
Heidi:
No. I couldn't do that.
Sesemann:
Why not?
Heidi:
The Grandfather's been waiting for me such a long time.
Klara Sesemann:
Oh, Heidi, I hoped you wouldn't want to go now.
Sesemann:
But, don't you want to stay here with Klara and be her little sister?
Heidi:
Yes. I'd like to be that but I've got to go home.
Klara Sesemann:
Papa, I told Heidi you'd let her go if she wanted to.
Sesemann:
But you don't understand, dear. You'll be my own daughter. You'll - You'll have clothes like Klara's, everything just like hers, and grow up to be a great lady. Now, wouldn't you like that?
Heidi:
No, thank you. I want to go home to my grandfather.
Sesemann:
I can't let you do that.
Heidi:
But Klara promised!
Klara Sesemann:
I...
Sesemann:
I'm sorry, Heidi. Someday you'll understand.
[Heidi leaves]
Klara Sesemann:
Papa, I did promise you'd send her home.
Sesemann:
But dear, you don't know what her grandfather's like. Dete told me that he was a very brutal man feared by everyone. No, Heidi will be much happier here with us.
