mother was wrong. For she had
seen Millie in tantrums before,
and they never had been like
this. They had been violent
storms Of weeping, violent stamp

tables with hard little fists.
Now there was a note,in Miles

shrek OF agony. Sally could al

eyes were turned up. showing
the whites.

stockings and shoes.
And while she worked, Millie
never stopped her groans. and
never once stopped turning and
twisting in her pain. Perspira-
tion--cold as raindrops--came out
on her soft flesh.
Once she put her hand TO her
side and tried to say something.
But her power to speak seemed
to be gone. After q second she
went on moaning like an animal
in pain.
