Chapter X
Netta's father one day picked her up, swung her into the air, and put her down on the top of the high Italian cabinet in the hall. "There, you little slut," he said, "what does the world look like from up there?" "Quite different; you wouldn't know it. The pictures look so queer--upside down; and the staircase isn't the same--or anything. Can't you come up too?"
