the scene

A flowery woman, seated on a couch, announced.
Where is my toy ?
Somewhere in the distance, the bells of an ancient cathedral, dark around the edges, the top bright and clear. A short figure stands out.
“Mam, dear, pray”, a silver tongue .
Where is my boy?
“Aha”, said the little man, “an abreaction surely!”
