He didn't remember such a cold winter in Vienna
yet. Every
time the
door opened and a cloud of cold air flew into the
cafe, he shivered a little. For a long time no new visitors
came, and Sigmund fell into a light
senile nap, but now the
door banged again, and he raised his head to look.
Two newcomers just entered the cafe - a whiskered gentle-
man and a lady
with a high chignon.
The lady held a long sharp umbrella in her hands.
The gentleman carried a small purse decorated by dark shiny
furs, a
little moist from the melted snowflakes.
