Gritli’s Children

CHAPTER VI
10/31

All trodden to death on the floor.
I must stop; the longer I think of it, the worse I feel.

I will say one thing though.

You may call a person "Aunty," but that doesn't make her one.

When we first came here, I used to say to Fani, when he wanted anything, "Why don't you go and ask Aunt Clarissa ?" and he answered more than a dozen times, "That isn't allowed here." So at last I understood, and as I didn't want to lead him to do anything out of the way, I didn't say it any more.
But now you see the difference between a real aunt and a make-believe one.

There is nothing in the world that we can't ask you.
