AMALIA'S RAGE
The next morning Paula, by command of the señora, took the child off to the ironing-room, sat her in a high chair, and asked a young girl, who was working at the window, for some scissors.
"What are you going to do?" Josefina asked.
"Cut your hair."
"Why? I don't want my hair cut."
Whereupon she got down from the chair with determination, but Paula turned back and put her up again.
"Be quiet," she said severely.
"I don't want to, I don't want to," she doggedly returned.
"It is certainly a shame to cut such beautiful hair," said one of the girls who was ironing.
"What do you mean, child? An order is an order."
