The Best Little Table
Yesterday afternoon Father gave me permission to ask Mr. Dussel whether he would please be so good as to allow me
(see how polite I am?) to use the table in our room two afternoons a week, from four to five-thirty.
I already sit there every day from two-thirty to four while Dussel takes a nap,
but the rest of the time the room and the table are off-limits to me.
It's impossible to study next door in the afternoon, because there's too much going on.
Besides, Father sometimes likes to sit at the desk during the afternoon.
So it seemed like a reasonable request, and I asked Dussel very politely.
What do you think the learned gentleman's reply was? “No.” Just plain “No!”
I was incensed and wasn't about to let myself be put off like that.
I asked him the reason for his “No,” but this didn't get me anywhere.
