Ok, I may have
romanticized that a bit. That’s not
really how it happened. There may have
been a party to welcome in the new teacher, and it would have almost definitely
been held in the school, but I can almost be 90 percent sure there was no
sleigh. The teachers lived in a building
just behind the school. I sincerely
doubt Ivan would have arrived in a sleigh.
Nor do I have any evidence to support the idea that it happened in the
winter time. There are few references to
it indeed. Our autobiographer himself
merely states that they met at work. Maybe
they went for a walk a few times after work, or perhaps on her first day at
work Ivan saw her walking awkwardly through the hallway. Maybe it’s just the hopeless romantic deep
inside me, but regardless of what actually happened-I like my story.
