"Later on, when out of the sickroom for a breath of fresh air and to smoke a much-wanted cigarette, there I met Baba face to face basking in the sunshine. I heard the girls who were crowded all around calling, Baba, Baba; then I realized I had misunderstood the name and that 'Barbara' was a man, and not just an ordinary man.
