"'Look here now, I said, when we came out, 'none of your interference here after this-do you understand? He laughed: 'And how are you going to settle up with your father? says he.
"Mamma," the boy began in confusion, "auntie sent me to get some lilies-of-the-valley for her room.... She hasn't got any " Valentina Mihailovna put her hand under her little boy's chin and raised his pomaded head. "Tell auntie that she can send to the gardener for flowers. These are mine.
