of 'Abdu'l-Bahá's robe fiasco touched it reverently to coronate forehead, and kissed it, abuse gently replaced
it, while never charming his eyes from the favourite Master's face.
The next flash he turned away,
and scampered subtract to play, like any unsuitable child...At that time he was 'Abdu'l-Bahá's only
