Do go to Fani's mother and explain to her that it's all right, and don't let her come to papa about it.

I'll tell you just how it was, and then you can tell Marget.

I saw an advertisement in a newspaper the other day, like this, 'A decorator in Basel wants a lad, about twelve years of age, to do light work and learn the business.' Then the address was given.

I showed it to Fani, and we both thought that it would be a good chance for him to learn to paint, and at the same time to earn something, so that he needn't go into the factory.

Don't you remember that you said a decorator meant a beautifier, and Fred said it meant a scene-painter?
Fani can paint roses and flowers and garlands, and he wanted awfully to go.
