<Several
days later Lieutenant Drobotenko met me in the anteroom.
"I
pray you to baptise my children!" he fired off. "Properly! With a certificate! I'll
send the certificates to
my mother! She will
be delighted! But
please do it i secret so that the party organiser wouldn't know! Do it here, at
home, in the old woman's half".>
The
ritual was very solemn. Old Emma Yakovlevna despite being a Lutheran confessed
and communicated too. Kotya and Lyuda were amazingly decorous and serious, they
diligently kissed the cross! I held little Yurka in my arms.
