Petrushka walked quickly back to the edge of the wood , where he had left his cart , and drove home . The next day was Sunday , and Tatiana noticed that he was different -- moody , melancholy , and absent-minded . She asked him what was the matter ; he said his head ached . Towards five o'clock he told her -- they were standing outside her cottage -- that he was obliged to go to the river to work . `` To-day is holiday , '' she said quietly . `` I left something there yesterday : one of my tools . I must fetch it , '' he explained .
