She told the shopkeeper that he was asking too much for them. When he refused to come down on his price she walked out of the door. She sauntered up the street a little way, turned around, and went back into the shop again. She did this three times before he came down on his price. Then she bought the two pieces. As she came out of the store with them she laughed. ‘You have to do it every time or they will cheat you.’” Then Sorensen and Garbo hurried home. Garbo wanted to decorate the Christmas tree. Gustaf had filled the vases all over the house with holly and poinsettias. He had strung festoons of red paper and bells about the hall, the living and dining rooms. Garbo tied red ribbons around the kittens’ necks. She tied one around Polly’s neck too, but he scratched it off. Gustaf had woven the long cord of colored electric lights through the branches of the Christmas tree. Garbo added big red-glass balls, long strings of “rain,” and bits of cotton “snow.”
