The Red Shoes (5) [The Red Shoes]
The Red Shoes (5)
When the old bishop laid his hands on her head and spoke of the solemn promise she was about to make ― of her covenant with God to be a good Christian ー her mind was not on his words.
The music was played on the organ ; the old cantor sang, and the sweet voices of the children could be heard, but Karen was thinking of her red shoes.
By afternoon, everyone had told the old lady about the colour of Karen's shoes.
She was very angry and scolded the girl, telling her how improper it was to have worn red shoes in church, and that she must remember always to wear black ones, even if she had to put on an old pair.
Next Sunday Karen was to attend communion. She looked at her black shoes and she looked at her red shoes ; then she looked at her red shoes once more and put them on.
