Chapter 27 fun game

fun game Opening the diary and reading what I wrote the day before yesterday, my heart is full of sorrow.I think it's useless to say, adults never admit that they are wrong. This time the bike was out of reach again. I was locked in my room while I was writing in my diary.But I'm determined not to compromise until Dad actually says don't hit me so far. As always, a small thing.I tried my best to listen to my mother these days, but instead of being rewarded, I was punished.Mother, sister, and Mrs. Merobey were out together yesterday.Before leaving home, my mother said to me: "We are going out, you have fun with Maria."

In order to please Maria, I first played cooking games with her, and then, getting tired of these games, I said to her: "Look, it's getting dark, and there's more than an hour before dinner, shall we play a fun game? Do you remember the story in the book I showed you yesterday? I will be the master, and you will be the master." Slave, I threw you into the woods..." "Okay, okay." She agreed immediately. Mamma, sister, and Mrs. Merobey had not returned, and Caterina was preparing supper.I took Maria to my room, took off her white dress, and put my dark blue dress on her, making her look like a boy.Next, I got out the paint box and painted her face like a half-breed.I took another pair of scissors, and went out with her into the yard, ordering her to follow me.

We came to a quiet path, when I turned to her and said, "Now, let me cut your curly hair like the book says, so that no one can recognize you." .” "Mom won't let you cut my hair!" she cried.I cut off all her curly hair while she wasn't looking.Because if you don't do that, you can't make this game. I coaxed her again and said: "You sit on the rock next to this rock and pretend to pass out, so it will be as written in the book..." After Maria closed her eyes and pretended to faint, I went home quietly. On the way home, I heard her cry, she screamed like a real servant, and I covered my ears to try not to hear, because I wanted to finish the game.

The sky was covered with dark clouds and it started to rain heavily... When I got home, everyone was sitting at the dining table waiting for us.The table was full of cheese and egg cakes, which made my mouth water. When my mother saw me, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Oh! I'm back at last! Where's Maria? Ask her to come to dinner." "We played servant's game and she pretended to pass out." "Where did you faint?" Mom asked me with a smile. "On the path in the woods, not far from here," I replied, sitting down at the table. But, as if struck by lightning, Pa, Ma, Mrs. Meroby, and Lawyer Mallally all stood up abruptly, though they sat down very slowly.

Dad grabbed my arm and said, "Tell me the truth!" He told the others to sit down first. "Really. We played master and servant, and I disguised her as a half-breed. I pretended to be the master who had abandoned her, and left her there alone. Later, the fairy will go, and take her to a golden and golden palace. In the palace, she will be the most powerful empress on earth. But I don't know why?" When I finished speaking, everyone was stunned.Mrs. Merobe shook her hands in despair and said that the child must have been frightened to death. She was afraid of thunder, and she would definitely fall ill.In addition, something else was said.

According to her, it seems that all the disasters in the world are caused by a little heat and cold. "Bastard! Scoundrel! Rascal!" Virginia snatched the biscuit from my hand and scolded: "Your pranks will never end? Why did you run home by yourself and leave a little girl in the cold and darkness?" At this time, Mrs. Meroby's face turned pale, and she lowered her head feebly.Mom quickly sprinkled vinegar on her face, and shed tears at the same time.Dad stood up to get the lantern, and asked me to stop eating and take them to get Maria back. That's how things went simply.Mrs. Merobey went back to Bologna today because she didn't want to see me any more.She burst into tears when she saw the child passed out on the road.I was soaking wet looking for Maria, but what was the reward?Nobody kissed me, hugged me, offered me a bowl of hot egg soup, offered me a glass of marsala, biscuits, cream, or fruit like she did, and made out with me.Instead, I was chased back to my room like a dog.Dad said that he was going to come up and teach me a lesson, and I knew what he meant by these words.But I had built a fort in my room, like a barricade in a city during the war, and they could only catch me from the washstand and small desk that had collapsed at the door of my room.

be quiet!I heard a noise... Is the battle about to start?I stocked the room with provisions, put a bed by the locked door, put a small desk on the bed, and placed a large mirror on the small desk. It was Dad... He tried to open the door, but I ignored him.I stay here quietly, like a cat running into a wine cellar.Ha ha!If only I could miraculously pass under the door and out like a spider!The enemy thought the room was empty, so he had to leave. What if they push the door hard?The result is that the mirror falls and shatters into pieces.But it's going to be my fault again... Here's the thing: he's a bad boy, he's a famous troublemaker, he's always doing bad things... just the same old stuff!

November 23 Nothing new. Yesterday, as planned: Mrs. Merobey was leaving with the spoiled Maria.Attorney Malali sent them back to Bologna, and everyone went to see them off. There will be no attackers at my door for the time being. Either way, I will resolve to resist.I fortified the fort and put together a whole load of food that Catalina sent me.The food was hung from the window in a small basket.The family was probably seeing off Mrs. Merobey at the station at this time.
