I won't go to Lester if I can't go right. "Baby, don't cry so for God's sake, don't cry so!" "I wish I was dead!" "'Sh-h-h! You'll wake gramaw." "I do!" "O God, help me to do the right thing!" "If gramaw could understand, she'd be the first one to tell you the right thing. Anybody would." "No! No! That little bank-book and its entries are her life her life." "She don't need to know, mama.
Other girls' grandmothers don't tell everything they know. Alma Yawitz's grandmother wears lorgnettes, and you told me yourself they came from nearly the same part of the Pale as gramaw. But you don't hear them remembering it. Alma Yawitz says she's Alsace-Lorraine on both sides. People don't tell everything they know. Anyway where a girl's got herself as far as I have."
"Selene, Selene, ain't it coming to gramaw, after all her years' hard work helping us that she should be entitled to go back with her wreaths for the graves? Ain't she entitled to die with that off her poor old mind? You bad, ungrateful girl, you, it's coming to a poor old woman that's suffered as terrible as gramaw that I should find a way to take her back." "Take her back. Where to jail?
They think only tailors and old-clothes men and " "Selene!" "Well, they do. You you're all right, mamma, as up to date as any of them, but how do you think a girl feels with gramaw always harping right in front of everybody the the way granpa was a revolutionist and was was hustled off barefooted to Siberia like like a tramp. And the way she was cooking black beans when my uncle died.
"For God's sake, gramaw, be quiet! It's nothing. Had a row with that red-headed clerk down at the drug store. Took the freshness out of him for a while." Lilly tiptoed back to her room. All through a fitful night she woke in little starts, kissing into the bare white arm of her child as if she could not have done with the assurance of her safe proximity.
The old face loosened, the eyes peering through spectacles held across the nose with a bit of twine. "It isn't Lilly Becker?" "Right the first time, gramaw!" "Bless my heart! Bless my soul! Let me sit down. I'm right weak. Little Lilly Becker!" They embraced there in a hallway hardly wide enough to contain them.
I love you. I'm all alone. With gramaw here I could hold back somehow but now Lilly Lilly I love you." She could only stare, her mouth fallen open and the rim of her eyes their widest. "It's been so long to hold back so long. Since that first day at the street car you kissed me and now with gramaw gone Lilly "
"With the book in her drawer like always, and the entries changed once in a while, she'll never know the difference. I swear to God she'll never know the difference, mamma!" "Poor gramaw!" "Mamma, promise me your little Selene. Promise me?" "Selene, Selene, can we keep it from her?" "I swear we can, mamma." "Poor, poor gramaw!" "Mamma? Mamma darling?" "O God, show me the way!"
I'm not asking that. That's the way they always do with old people to keep them satisfied. Just humor 'em. Ain't I the one with life before me ain't I, mamma?" "O God, show me the way!" "If there was a chance, you think I'd be spoiling things for gramaw? But there ain't, mamma not one." "I keep hoping if not before, then after the war. With the help of Mark Haas "
If you think gramaw, with her life all lived, comes first before me, with all my life to live all right!" "Your poor old " "It's always been gramaw first in this house, anyway. I couldn't even have company since I'm grown up because the way she's always allowed around.
