Peter walks through this house at all hours; you can't wash your hair or do a little ironing without having Peter under your feet; he borrows money from me; he bullies Hong about wasting butter " "Also you borrow money from me, my child, don't forget that," Peter interrupted serenely, peeling an apple.
