Since her bedroom was off the foyer, it was not difficult to tiptoe pass the lime colored love seat and old mahogany table, that had been her grandmother's and enter her room unnoticed.
    Depositing her books on the bookshelf, that along with her desk and toy chest, occupied two sides of her room, she circled her little white bed with the blue checked coverlet and settled herself in a little red chair with its matching ottoman that had been her Daddy's last present. She was just getting comfortable when Christifina appeared in the doorway. Although the nurse was only slightly taller than Gigi her chubby body seemed to occupy the whole lower part of the doorway.
