Her hair hung loose and disordered on her shoulders, her face looked sleepy and dark in the half-light. . . . "Why, Volodya is not asleep," she said. "Volodya, look in the cupboard for the morphine, there's a dear! What a nuisance Lili is! She has always something the matter." Maman muttered something, yawned, and went away. "Look for it," said Nyuta. "Why are you standing still?"
When they reached the piano, Lili began to play her one piece, and when she came to the end, she glanced at Dora who nodded so pleasantly that Lili, thus encouraged, began again at the beginning. Presently Dora began to sing the words; Wili, who was waiting in vain for his chance to play, joined her; then Hunne too; so that a loud chorus rang out cheerily from the school-room
Adding bought recklessly of it, and ate it under his eyes with their coffee and bread, pouring over it pots of clotted cream that the 'schone' Lili brought them. Rose pretended an indifference to it, which his mother betrayed was a sacrifice in behalf of March's inability.
"What a mass of information!" said March. "How did you come by it?" "Newspaper habit of interviewing the universe." "It's not a bad habit, if one doesn't carry it too far. How did Lili learn her English?" "She takes lessons in the winter. She's a perfect little electric motor. I don't believe any Yankee girl could equal her."

"This is for Rolf," said the father, adding as he showed the boy the sharp points of the arrows, "and for Rolf only, for he knows how to use it properly. It is not a plaything, and Wili and Lili must never dream of playing with it, for they might easily hurt themselves and others with it."
A most agreeable teacher too, who did not trouble her pupil with finger-exercises and scales, but gave her tunes at once without more ado; and first of course the favorite, "Live thy life merrily." Dora learned the air very quickly with the right hand, and Lili did not require her to learn the left hand yet; declaring that it was quite too difficult to play both together.
His arteries must have been hardening for twenty years." Lili and Elsa were quite aghast at this naked ratiocination, but Gisela whispered: "We might elope, you know." "With whom?
