ABSTRACT
As they come up the stairs today, Victor is hanging over Fredrik’s shoulder. It looks as if he has been sleeping in the stroller on their way here, and has just been awakened. He is sleepy-eyed and his blond hair is wet with perspiration under his cap. Fredrik tries to remove Victor’s outdoor clothes but Victor has his own ideas. He insists on keeping his boots on while Fredrik pulls his snow trousers off. He repeatedly refuses to see that this will not work. Fredrik is tired but patient as he explains that the boots are too big and the trouser legs too narrow.
