Chapter 23 Who is sick?Mother
Who is sick?Mother
Yesterday Mama and Ada went to Madame Orka's.When they came back, I heard them both say:
"Did you see? Her other handkerchief is mine too!"
"And the silver bottle, did you see it? I wonder how she took it away! Where did she hide it?"
"Yes! She is very ill indeed. . . Her husband should be told to-night."
I secretly laughed, but pretended to be okay and asked:
"Who's sick? Mom."
"There is no human disease." Ada said to me in her usual arrogant tone, "When adults speak, children should not ask questions."
But she didn't think about it, but I knew much more than them.
