the numerous family. She wore a blouse of green velvet and a
black four-in-hand tie. She welcomed me with a cordial
handshake and a gay smile, as though all that had transpired
between us had been a childish misunderstanding, but she was ill

The book-cases and book-stands were full to bursting. There was a
piano in the room and two tables littered with books, prints, and
photographs. The space between book-cases and over the piano
was hung with etchings, crayons, pen-and-ink drawings, and
photographs. The other two of Tevkin's children present were a
chubby girl of twelve, named Gracie, and a young man of
twenty-eight, two or three years older than Anna, named Sasha.
Sasha had a half-interest in an evening preparatory school in
which he taught mathematics, being now confined to the house by
a slight indisposition
