"My step-mother looked at me at least once on each of these miserable
days, and said: 'Rose-Marie, you look very odd. I hope you are not going
to have anything expensive. Measles are in Jena, and also the
whooping-cough.'
'Which of them is the cheapest?' I inquired.
'Both are beyond our means,' said my step-mother severely."
