As usual, my mother accompanies me, as she thinks I'm too young to go alone. Look, dear, exclaims my mother, as we pass a window. Isn't that hat simply gorgeous! Let's go in. So in we go.

At this point I have stood all I can. I lay the paper in the chair and leave the room. I close the door behind me and listen at the keyhole, hoping that the others will leave the room, too, and I can go back once again. Well, I wait for about an hour and a half and at last they go. I dash through the door and am al- ready to capture the paper again, but
