about him was his cooperative spirit, for he set about gathering the eggs off the floor and put them in the icebox of his own accord. But he and his brother Leeb would not come near the expert—unlike his sister Wadia, who chatted with her and answered her questions with a boldness beyond description. The general idea Mrs. Hoffman formed from watching the children for a short while was that they are stamped with the stamp

of merriment and "lightness of spirit," which makes them lov-able children.

Now "breakfast" had come, but not one of the children appeared to eat it, the reason being that they had lost their appetite from eating so many Easter eggs.

After the breakfast meal, Wadia accompanied her parents and the expert guest to church, and how greatly her good behavior stirred the admiration of her companions! But she displayed her stubborn-ness in its plainest form afterward, upon their return from church after performing their devotions: she wanted to buy some sweets from the vendors, and her mother forbade it.
