Mary doesn't have particularly many people to give gifts to--she never has--but there are, at least, three small packages to be delivered this (late) Boxing Day:
a fine pair of gloves for Mr. Kochevikov;
a blank book with creamy white pages and a pen in a case for Mr. Misurov;
and cookies and a scarf for Icarus.
There are also a smart hat and a tiepin for her husband, but she is not at all certain she will ever see him again.
