She called on the carpenter who had made her little table and chairs out of packing cases, and on the women who had brought her the bedstead.
In short, she called on all the people whom she had listened to in the old days
and who, thanks to her, had grown wiser, happier or more self-assured.
Although some of them failed to keep their promise to come and see her, or were unable to for lack of time,
so many old faces did turn up that things were almost as they used to be.
Not that Momo knew it, she was upsetting the plans of the men in gray, and that they couldn't tolerate.
Soon afterwards, one exceptionally hot and sultry afternoon, Momo came across a doll on the steps of the old amphitheater.
It wasn't uncommon for children to forget all about expensive toys they couldn't really play with and leave them behind by mistake,
but Momo had no recollection of seeing such a doll - and she would certainly have noticed it, because it was a very unusual one.
Nearly as tall as Momo herself, the doll was so lifelike
that it might almost have been mistaken for a miniature human being, though not a child or a baby.
Its red minidress and high-heeled sandals made it look more like a shop-window dummy or a stylish young woman about town.
