The cause of the accident had

that due to the hilly nature of the
country near here, and because
of poor visibility, the driver of the
bus temporarily lost control of the

cursed the plate-waShers roundly.
They all stared at me in surprise
and the waitress opened her eyes
wide. It was evidently the first
time they had had such a COM
plant. She obediently scalded
the plates in boiling water, and I
succeeded in snatching them from
her befonO she had managed to dry
them on an exceedingly black and
greasy cloth.
No sooner had we begun eating
than several little street urchins
appeared round the big table.
With hungry eyes they followed
our spoons from the plate to our
mouths. They seemed positively
crazy with hunger, and my appe-
tite deserted me, for l never
learned to enjoy a meal in the
presence of hungry human beings
or animals. I pushed my plate
across to an 8-year-old boy who
sat next to me. He put his mouth
into the soup like little pig and
in a few seconds had drunk every
drop of it.
1t nearly drove me mad to see
hunger in the eyes of the other
children. They certainly did not
count on getting anything for
themselves, but still there they
sat in the vain hope that the very
sight of food would stave off their
gnawing hunger.
What if I ordered some soup
for these seven or eight boys? l
looked about me and wherever I
turned my eyes they met the sad
gaze of children. The scene on
the platform at Talovaya came to
my mind. I gave up the idea,
paid my bill and quickly went on
to the platform to get some fresh
air and to escape from the melan-
choly horror of these children's
eyes.
