Then it was she made friends with the children in the street, but their parents always called them away and scolded them for speaking to the barefooted child. Often the boys threw stones at her.

It was Ash-Wednesday, the hall must be cleared; the quiet Lenten season had begun. The players withdrew into the adjoining rooms, among them the much-envied couple.
