Summary
Ilya’s Mama died on a good day.
They did not have good days very often, but that day was a good day. So was the day before that and the day before that and he had high hopes for the day after that too.
Papa had gone to St. Petersburg and he had taken Alexei with him. As soon as Papa’s car had driven out of view, Mama had called up Ilya’s school and said that her poor, precious son was terribly sick - listen to how he coughs, show them Ilyushenka! - and he cannot go to school for the entire week! So terrible to miss such important lessons, but it must be done.
or: irina tries to give ilya a good week. one good week. well, she tries to do a lot of things. for better or for worse, she did not succeed
