The
mother
s
handbag
lay
on
a
chair
at
the
other
end
of
the
table
.
She
opened
the
bag
and
got
out
a
powder
compact
that
had
a
small
round
mirror
on
the
inside
of
the
lid
.
She
opened
the
compact
and
handed
it
to
her
husband
.
He
grabbed
it
and
held
it
before
his
face
and
in
doing
so
spilled
most
of
the
powder
all
over
the
front
of
his
fancy
tweed
jacket
.

"
Be
careful
!
"
shrieked
the
mother
.
"
Now
look
what
you
ve
done
!
That
s
my
best
Elizabeth
Arden
face
powder
!
"
283
"
Oh
my
gawd
!
"
yelled
the
father
,
staring
into
the
little
mirror
.
"
What
s
happened
to
me
!
I
look
terrible
!
I
look
just
like
you
gone
wrong
!
I
can
t
go
down
to
the
garage
and
sell
cars
like
this
!
How
did
it
happen
?
"
He
stared
round
the
room
,
first
at
the
mother
,
then
at
the
son
,
then
at
Matilda
.
"
How
could
it
have
happened
?
"
he
yelled

"
I
imagine
,
daddy
,
"
Matilda
said
quietly
,
"
that
you
weren
t
looking
very
hard
and
you
simply
took
mummy
s
bottle
of
hair
stuff
off
the
shelf
instead
of
your
own
.
"
285
"
Of
course
that
s
what
happened
!
"
the
mother
cried
.
"
Well
really
Harry
,
how
stupid
can
you
get
?
Why
didn
t
you
read
the
label
before
you
started
splashing
the
stuff
all
over
you
!
Mine
s
terribly
strong
.
I
m
only
meant
to
use
one
tablespoon
of
it
in
a
whole
basin
of
water
and
you
ve
gone
and
put
it
all
over
your
head
neat
!
It
ll
probably
take
all
your
hair
off
in
the
end
!
Is
your
scalp
beginning
to
burn
,
dear
?
"
286
"
You
mean
I
m
going
to
lose
all
my
hair
?
"
the
husband
yelled
.
287
"
I
think
you
will
,
"
the
mother
said
.
"
Peroxide
is
a
very
powerful
chemical
.
It
s
what
they
put
down
the
lavatory
to
disinfect
the
pan
only
they
give
it
another
name
.

"
What
are
you
saying
!
"
the
husband
cried
.
"
I
m
not
a
lavatory
pan
!
I
don
t
want
to
be
disinfected
!
"
289
"
Even
diluted
like
I
use
it
,
"
the
mother
told
him
,
"
it
makes
a
good
deal
of
my
hair
fall
out
,
so
goodness
knows
what
s
going
to
happen
to
you
.
I
m
surprised
it
didn
t
take
the
whole
of
the
top
of
your
head
off
!
"
290
"
What
shall
I
do
?
"
wailed
the
father
.
"
Tell
me
quick
what
to
do
before
it
starts
falling
out
!
"
