LUCY GOES TO PROM
She ended up sewing her own dress for Prom out of
sateen and tulle leftover from Shari’s sewing days. “Dear friend,” she said, “do not magnify me into a physiological problem. A smile trembled at the corners of her mouth as she recalled Gerald’s
ridiculous upbraiding of his own reflection in the mirror. “Well?” she said. At any
rate, it would be good to hear him saying the sort of things he did—perhaps now
she would grasp them better—with this world-shaking secret brandishing itself
about inside her head within a yard of him. ”
She lingered over her tea, and glancing around, a sudden reflection on the
change in her surroundings from the scene of her last night’s supper brought a
faint, humorous smile to her lips. That's how I finally got wind of it. "Wretch!" she cried, "you shall not force me to your hateful purpose. He had little money about him, and unless friends come to his aid
he must be treated as a pauper. ’
You mean you hope you do, thought Gerald cynically. "
"All right, Mr. Things were thrown
here and there, to be taken up, or again cast aside, as the whim arose; while the
broken-backed chairs and crazy table bore the marks of many a conflict. "
The words were scarcely pronounced, when Rowland disappeared.
