I
discovered
that
he
wanted
me
to
take
off
his
sock
!
Remembering
Irene
's
dread
warnings
on
this
subject
I
must
say
that
I
felt
uneasy
.
Had
he
heard
her
,
and
was
he
daring
me
?
And
what
dire
thing
could
happen
if
the
sock
was
removed
?
I
sought
to
reason
with
him
,
but
he
signed
to
me
to
look
sharp
,
and
I
removed
the
sock
.
The
part
of
him
thus
revealed
gave
David
considerable
pleasure
,
but
I
noticed
,
as
a
curious
thing
,
that
he
seemed
to
have
no
interest
in
the
other
foot
.
However
,
it
was
not
there
merely
to
be
looked
at
,
for
after
giving
me
a
glance
which
said
"
Now
observe
!
"
he
raised
his
bare
foot
and
ran
his
mouth
along
the
toes
,
like
one
playing
on
a
barbaric
instrument
.
He
then
tossed
his
foot
aside
,
smiled
his
long
triumphant
smile
and
intimated
that
it
was
now
my
turn
to
do
something
.
I
thought
the
best
thing
I
could
do
would
be
to
put
his
sock
on
him
again
,
but
as
soon
as
I
tried
to
do
so
I
discovered
why
Irene
had
warned
me
so
portentously
against
taking
it
off
.
I
should
say
that
she
had
trouble
in
socking
him
every
morning
.
Nevertheless
I
managed
to
slip
it
on
while
he
was
debating
what
to
do
with
my
watch
.
I
bitterly
regretted
that
I
could
do
nothing
with
it
myself
,
put
it
under
a
wine-glass
,
for
instance
,
and
make
it
turn
into
a
rabbit
,
which
so
many
people
can
do
.
In
the
meantime
David
,
occupied
with
similar
thoughts
,
very
nearly
made
it
disappear
altogether
,
and
I
was
thankful
to
be
able
to
pull
it
back
by
the
chain
.
"
Haw-haw-haw
!
"
Thus
he
commented
on
his
new
feat
,
but
it
was
also
a
reminder
to
me
,
a
trifle
cruel
,
that
he
was
not
my
boy
.
After
all
,
you
see
,
Mary
had
not
given
him
the
whole
of
his
laugh
.
The
watch
said
that
five
and
twenty
minutes
had
passed
,
and
looking
out
I
saw
Irene
at
one
end
of
the
street
staring
up
at
my
window
,
and
at
the
other
end
Mary
's
husband
staring
up
at
my
window
,
and
beneath
me
Mary
staring
up
at
my
window
.
They
had
all
broken
their
promise
.
I
returned
to
David
,
and
asked
him
in
a
low
voice
whether
he
would
give
me
a
kiss
.
He
shook
his
head
about
six
times
,
and
I
was
in
despair
.
Then
the
smile
came
,
and
I
knew
that
he
was
teasing
me
only
.
He
now
nodded
his
head
about
six
times
.
This
was
the
prettiest
of
all
his
exploits
.
It
was
so
pretty
that
,
contrary
to
his
rule
,
he
repeated
it
.
I
had
held
out
my
arms
to
him
,
and
first
he
shook
his
head
,
and
then
after
a
long
pause
(
to
frighten
me
)
,
he
nodded
it
.
But
no
sooner
was
he
in
my
arms
than
I
seemed
to
see
Mary
and
her
husband
and
Irene
bearing
down
upon
my
chambers
to
take
him
from
me
,
and
acting
under
an
impulse
I
whipped
him
into
the
perambulator
and
was
off
with
it
without
a
license
down
the
back
staircase
.
