A children's story written in the late 19th century. The narrative centers around a sickly girl named Nora living in a beautiful house by the Rhine, who longs to enjoy the vibrant garden outside her window.

At the start of the story, Nora is an ailing child confined to her home, looking longingly at the blooming garden. Her mother is deeply concerned about her health and consults a family friend, Klarissa, about taking Nora to a healthier location for the summer. After some discussion, it is decided that they will travel to the Swiss mountains to seek better air for Nora’s recovery. As they prepare for this journey, the opening highlights the bond between Nora and her mother, the weight of Nora's illness, and the contrasting beauty of the world outside her window.
