leaned heavily against her. After
minute, he planted two big feet in
her lap and licked her face with
surprising gentleness. 1t was not
until then that Abby knew she
was crying.
She put her arms around the
dog and held him tight for a long
time. Then she stood up.
Come ON, Shakespeare, we'll
60 out in the fresh air and eat
worms"
On the way downstairs Abby
thought, I used to matter. I couldn't
60 o,oay tor an afternoon wtthout
coming home to a sitxation that
screamed tor me. Now big George
is so busy and tired that home is Just
hole he e1eeps into. And my SON
Iises at his Fraternity house and
only comes home 10 delise7 dirty
laundry or borrow money. And Liz
is ashamed Of me.
She glanced toward the living
room There was no sign of Liz,
but Sylvia was curled ON the couch
like contented cat. She was read
ing Abby's new historical novel
from the lending library and her
fingers were dipping rapidly in and
out of a box of chocolates.
Hot rage exploded in Abby's
stomach. The book was nothing
much. But Abby hadn't had a
chance to open it herself. The
candy was stale. But little George
had bought it for her when he
came home last Sunday night and
found her alone. He hadn't gone
so far as to stay home and keep
her company, but he had gone out
and come back with the candy. 1t
was at least signal that he knew
his mother was alive and breath
ing.
Abby strobe to the doorway.
where's Liz?"
Sylvia put down the book. Her
pale hair was caught up at the
back of her head and fell in stiff
waterfall down her neck. She
made a fluttering gesture with one
hand and said something Abby
could not hear. Abby went over
and stopped the record changer
roughly. Where's Liz?"
SYLvIA waved her hand again.
Il sent her to the store for some
nail polish. l Clipped my thumb
nail on the way home in the
street car"
She returned to the book,
absent mindedly lingering the
candy. Finally she pushed the cen
ter of one piece with a long finger
nail and rejected it.
Stop that!' Abby snatched
the box from under Sylvia's hand.
She found the damaged piece and
gave it to Shakespeare.
Il wouldn't give him candy.
Those kind of dogs get fat and
disgusting"

Abby turned around deliber-
ately. Il should think you'd be
bored. hanging around with Liz"
Sylvia sat up and touched the
back of her hair. 'Oh. Liz is a dear
little girl. don't mind her."
Abby said: And her mother is
an old crow"
Sylvia's eyebrows shot up.
why, Mrs. -"
Abby crossed her arms. Listen.
Listen, Sylvia. If my daughter is
such dope that she lets you push
her around, that's her business.
But when you're in this house,
just remember I'm mistress here.
Keep your hands off my books
and my candy. And stop criticiz-
ing my hair and clothes to Liz.
too"
Sylvia drew back. She looked
frightened. why. Mrs. Daley,
we - Mother and think you're
awfully cute. Mother thought you
were the cutest mother at the
P.T.A. and just about the only
one with any possibilities"
Possibilities" There was a
dangerous edge to Abby's voice
but Sylvia didn't recognize it. She
nodded more confidently.
Mother said if you'd just have
your hair cut and re-shaped and
learn to use a cream makeup
foundation. you'd take ten years
off your age"
"How old do you think amp"
oh, about Mothers age. But
MONS smart. She never admits
to more than thirty-nine."
ABBY sucked in her breath. Big
George had long since given up
weighing himself and was growing
gray and bald. But Abby weighed
precisely what she had in college.
There wasn't a bit of gray in her
hair. Strangers were constantly
astonished that she had two huge
children, even after she explained
that little George was born when
she was eighteen But out of the
mouth of a babe from Chicago

not thirty-nine. I'm - would you

For once, Sylvia stopped look

a new dress or anything, would
you let me take you around? I'm
trying to get a job in the store this
summer and every little thing
helps. And I'm very good at FASH
ion. really. You'll look like a
dreamboat. 80"
lmEE nights later, when Liz
was in bed and George was still
groaning over class themes, Abby
said: DO you really like it? Or
were you just slapping Liz down."
Like what?" George straight
ened YEARLY.
My hair" said Abby. Dol
really look ten years Younger"
George turned and smiled at
her. Her hair was cut in what
would have been known in her
college days as a bob" Il WAS
parted on one side and arranged
over her forehead in what would
have been known as a dip" in
her high school days.
You look fine. What about
some toasted cheese sandwiches
and cocoa?"
Too fattening. Darling. and do
you know what's happened?''
ITO hell with fattening. I'm
hungry
Then listen. Liz went to the
game with Mike this afternoon.
She's back doing a series of inter-
views for the school paper on foot
ball players. She's going SWIM
ming with the gang tomorrow
night"
George took off his glasses.
That's fine. But how -
How? Me. Me. l fixed it. You
told me to, and l fixed it,
Her husband stood up. Good
girl. Are there any pickles in the
house, the garlic Hnd?"
Abby stood up, too. Listen,
George. Do you know why Liz is
back with her gang? Sylvia desert
ed her. And do you know why?
Sylvia has a crush on me-"
George looked up quickly. "A
crush?"
''DoN'r look so horri6ed. It's
perfectly normal. for a girl her age.
I ask her advice and it builds up
her ego. And then she sits and
lengthens skirts for me-"
But a crush. That can get
pretty tiresome.
Abby Strengthened her shoul-
ders- Now, George. It's the least
could do for Liz. And I'll find
Sylvia a beau one of these days.
The trouble is. she's scared of
boys"
George said: Scared? Now.
Abby"
Really. Her mother never let
her 60 out with boys. And the
poor girls scared to death. under
all the silly veneer. Isn't that just
ridiculous?"
