  Arrach (Garden)
The Garden Orache, or Mountain Spinach (Atriplex hortensis), is a tall, erect-growing hardy annual, a native of Tartary, introduced into this country in 1548.
'Orache is cooling,' says Evelyn, 'and allays the pituit humours.' Being set over the fire, neither this nor the lettuce needs any other water than their own moisture to boil them in.
The name Orache, given to this Goosefoot and others of the same tribe, is a corruption of aurum, gold, because their seeds, mixed with wine, were supposed to cure the ailment known popularly as the 'yellow jaundice.' They excite vomiting.

 Nabokov Tutorials - 'Orache'
'Orache' (1932) the story with which 'A Bad Day' is twinned, seems more successful partly because the characterisation of Peter is less sentimental, because there is less straining for the evocation of atmosphere, and because the story is more concentrated in its purpose.
Peter learns at school that his father is to be involved in a duel, and he finds it difficult to control his emotions until classes finish.
We know from both Nabokov and Field that the events of 'Orache', like 'A Bad Day', are largely autobiographical.
