There was something hard about
Bonby Comet, and something hSshle.
Perhaps il was the amishle frankneSs
with WHICH she confessed her hardness.
For the code Of Bobby's life might be
summed I'D in the six words With which
she commented on her mothers exist
ence and condemned it-"Thsyn never
get me that wav" This. as she saw
her mother at her duties about the Ave
room fat. daily duties in endless repe-
tition n-dishwsshing mopping. cooking
sewing. To Bobby her mother repre-
rented the thing against which she was
fehtinc-tae fate 70 which. she told
herself lthough not in Just these Words.
