I am a bachelor and live all alone. I am of a habit of purchasing toys and presents, and food, and distributing it among the needy families. My housekeeper Alina usually helps me with this. This time I bought a lot, including a rocking horse and several boxes of soldiers, as well as hare, fox, the stag and wild boar hunts. At home I found out that the stag and wile boar hunts were missing. I delivered the presents to a family of a poor bookbinder Lemmerhirt. When I was there a woman came in, very nicely dressed, very pretty, well proportioned but very short. She called me by name, called me "my dear", said that she was "my Alina" (the same as my housekeeper); then gave me the box with the missing hunts, and told that she "found" them. She asked me to see her home, but went to my place, where she swooned; the real Alina didn't want her in, and think she was a hooker. After the woman came to her senses, she said that she just pretended to swoon to be let in, and asked me to "give him up give up the prisoner", that "her destiny, her life" depended on it. I didn't understand her, she had a fit of temper and went away. What was this? How did she know me, my name, where I live, about missing presents? And what did she want?What should I do?
