You can't get in there, I tell you no way you try to fix it after the way gramaw had to leave. Even before the war Ray Letsky's father couldn't get back on business. There's nothing for her there, even after she gets there. In thirty years, do you think you can find those graves? Do you know the size of Siberia? No! But I got to pay I got to pay for gramaw's nonsense. But I won't.

People won't come from town 'way out to this old cabbage-patch. Even Gertie Wolf, with their big house on West Pine Boulevard, had her reception at the Walsingham Hotel.

"Why, baby, a girl couldn't have a finer trousseau than the old linens back yet from Russia that me and gramaw got saved up for our girl linen that can't be bought these days. Bed-sheets that gramaw herself carried to the border, and " "Oh, I know! I knew you'd try to dump that stuff on me. That old, worm-eaten stuff in gramaw's chest." "It's hand-woven, Selene, with "

I know a thing or two." "Why, Selene! That's gramaw's to go back " "You mean the bank-book's hers?" "That's gramaw's, to go back home on. That's the money for me to take gramaw and her wreaths back home on." "There you go talking luny." "Selene!" "Well, I'd like to know what else you'd call it, kidding yourself along like that." "You " "All right.

A child like you that's been indulged, that I ain't even asked ever in her life to help a day down in the store. If I had the money, God knows you should be married in real lace, with the finest trousseau a girl ever had. But I ain't got the money I ain't got the money." "You have got the money! The book in gramaw's drawer is seven hundred and forty. I guess I ain't blind. I know a thing or two."

"Yes; only I well, if you want to know it, mama, it's no fun for a girl to bring a boy like Lester up here in in this crazy room, all hung up with gramaw's wreaths and half the time her sitting out there in the dark, looking in at us through the door and talking to herself." "Gramaw's an old " "Is it any wonder I'm down at Amy's half the time?

"Why Selene that's gramaw's to go back " "You mean the bank-book's hers?" "That's gramaw's to go back home on. That's the money for me to take gramaw and her wreaths back home on."

The book in gramaw's drawer is seven hundred and forty. I guess I ain't blind.

Nobody can say I ain't good to gramaw; Lester say it's beautiful the way I am with her, remembering always to bring the newspapers and all, but just the same I know when right's right and wrong's wrong. If my life ain't more important than gramaw's, with hers all lived, all right. Go ahead!"
