In the little front room of chromos, folding bed with desk attachment, a bisque knickknack or two, they were finally knee to knee, Lilly's hat tossed aside, her hands clasping the old veiny ones. "Begin at the beginning, Mrs. Schum. Everything. First, tell me, dear, how long since you have heard of my folks?"
Schum lying there on the edge of death, yet reluctant to go, Lilly's days an intricate pattern of hospital, office, and home. She was more tired than she knew and for days after the tragedy went about with a springy little sob just behind her throat, which was perpetually taut from holding back tears.
