“That’s Peter Macfellow, Avada’s friend.” – explained Harry.

“O, I see. Very nice to meet you, young fellow.” – said Agate in a trembling voice? - “I’d better help Avada with tea. I don’t want to disturb you.”

“You do not disturb us, mammy. And Avada can make tea by herself. Please, seat here, near the fair. Is it comfortablefor you?” – Harry’s voice was full of tender.

The old lady sat and began to ask questions to Peter: “Where you from?” “Who were your parents?” and so on…

At last Avada came with tea. In a few minutes after that The eldest Mss. Liblow asked again “Are you free tonight? You could stay here, we all would be glad…”

“I’m afraid, Mammy, but Peter is very busy, so I think He would not be able to stay!” – interrupted Harry.

“Why not? I’ll be very glad to stay!” – said Peter resolutely.

"I have arrived from Norway this morning - Answered Peter. - My parents died last month... It was terrible accident. - explained Peter. - So, I could not stay at their house any longer and I decided to go to England because I've never been here before."

"Oh, I'm so sorry! Poor Mr. and Mrs.Macfellow! It is so sad! - said Avada and her eyes filled with tears.

"But how it could happen?" - asked the old lady.

"I'm afraid, it is a little tactless to ask Peter about that," - said Harry to his mother.

"Of cause. Please, Peter, forgive me my tactless cutiousity" - said Agate.

Then Harry changed the subject and they all company began to have a tea. They talked about everything, laughed and smiled. Only Harry was in melancholy mood. And when he noticed Peter giving glad eye to his wife, he had become very angry.

"Didn't you uderstand?" - asked Peter, looking out of the window. "The only reason why I'm here is you! I couldn't forget you. I tried for many years, but I couldn't. I need only you!"

Avada didn't expect such passion confession at thatmoment. She come closer to him,took his arms and said: "No, you are wrong! I'm not that light-hearted young girl any more. Don't you see? I have changed. Now I 'm so different from that person from my childhood you used to know. And now I can offer you indissoluble bonds of friendship only.

Peter answered never a word.

"You must understand me, - kept to speak Avada, - I'm very happy with Harry. He is wonderful person and he loves me! I can't betray him."

"Well, I'm afraid, but friendship between us is not possible. - said Peter at last. - I love you too much to be you friend only.

" Where is my wonderful eldest sister! Hello, my dear! What's wrong with you? Why are you looking so... Well, I don't know, as a girl who suddenly knew, that someone loves her!" - she laught and in her eyes Peter saw a lot of kindness. "And now, guys, tell me the truth! What had happened in this house? I saw Harry in very bad mood. Of course, He is always in bad mood" - She laught again, - "but today, i think had happened something special, because his mother looks like the happiest woman in the whole world. O, there were so much passion! Did you fascinated her, Peter?" - she continued laughing, -" And, you, my dear sister, why do not you say a word to me? I haven't seen you for ages! I need to know all!" - at last she stopped talking but didn't stop laughing.

"Yes! She is all right now! The doctor said that she was out of risk! And she did not want me to stay with her any longer. I will tellyou all details tomorrow", - said Elisabeth.

Meanwhile Peter were looking at Elisabeth . He really liked her jovial mood and smile. "Elisabeth might lost some pounds, - thought Peter. - She never looked so thin and pretty."

"What you gonna do tomorrow?" - asked Peter to Elisabeth. - Could we go for a walk tomorrow?"

"Of cause! I spent whole last month with my mother beside her bed, so I need some fun!" - answered Elisabeth with much promising smile.

- Elisabeth, I'm so glad that our mother is out of risk... But You lost her alone! How could you do that? It would be better if you return home.
And How is your groom? When are you going to marry John?

Peter wanting to take shower,looked around the room and took the towel. Having said: "I'm leaving you girls. I think you need to talk together" he went into the bathroom.

"He had to leave me for a few weeks, because his boss had sent him to a business trip", - kept to speak Elisabeth. "He told me about that with suchirritation! But then he calmed down and decided that it would be very good if I visit you. He hoped that you would keep an eye on me!" - said Elisabeth with a smile.
"Won't you miss your groom?" - John has been asking me, when I saw him off. Then he kissed me and said: "I'm missing you already. I love you, my baby-bear!" And bla-bla-bla. Oh, I hate it! - said Elisabeth.

"Why! What do you mean? Don't you love him?" - asked Avada.

"I don't know. Sometimes I think I do, but sometimes I think I don't. He is always so sweet! I think rather too sweet! And all these words: baby-bear, baby-boo! It is too much for me! But I don't have enough courage to tell him about it. I don't want to hurt him!"

She blushed a bit and felt very mean.
"Well, why are you standing in the doorway? Ain't you gonna sleep? I've been lying here alone almost an hour!!! And may I ask you where the hell you've been?"
"I was in the kitchen, giving orders to our cook for tomorrow menu. He wanted to cook meat but I said that we rather want chicken. He tried to contest, but you know how Ihate when the cook contests against me, so it took me a lot of time to make him change the menu for tomorrow", Avada explained.
"I see. But you needn't to worry about the menu. It is not important for me", Harry said calming down.
"Yes, but I wanted to make pleasure for you. I know how you like chicken", Avada said taking her dress off.
"And what you gonna do tommorow while I will be at work?" Harry asked.
"I don't know. May be I will go with Elisabeth and Peter, for they don't know this town well yet", Avada said. "But stop talking about them! I got more interesting idea here"
"Yeah? What is it?" Harry asked smiling
"Well,keep kissing me and you'll see" Avada whispered in his ear.
