Karely went to the smaller of the two rooms which had been allotted them, and in a few minutes he was in bed.
"Dear mamma, we shall freeze here," said little Sizike, feeling the ice-cold pillows; "what shall we do?" and knocking at Karely's door, she asked if he were asleep.
"What do you want, Sizike?"
"We cannot undress here, Karely, there are no curtains on the windows."
"Well, blow out the candle."
"O dear! I am afraid in the dark!"
"Then lock the door."
"The door will not shut properly."
"Well, wait, Boske, I will get up and sleep there, and you can come here with mother," and, jumping up and out of bed, he dressed and came into the next room, putting the ladies into his.
"And now confess, Erzsu," he said, trembling with cold; "why did you cheat me out of my warm bed into this cold one?"
