Enid left and after a while Steve pulled the

roses until the next morning.

asked if Betty wanted him to pick up the bushes
on his way home But she said no, she'd take care

The girls were meeting on the Ellis patio

Deirdre's day; but Betty didn't feel much like
coffee, and besides she had to go to the store.
Walking back, she took a good look at the houses
on Cat Rock Road = each nearly the same, each
almost alike.
And yet, she thought, one of them different
because it was theirs alone. Couldn't he see how
different from the rest that made it? Couldn't
Steve see that his house was something unique in
the world?
She stopped halfway up the walk, stricken with
a sudden emptiness. There were bare spots on the
lawn where Steve had dug but there were similar
flaws in every lawn on the street. The pile Of
wilted dandelionS was still in the corner next to
the house, tossed there in anger by the stubborn
man she'd married who wouldn't see that home
was the people in it.
She walked over and picked up one of the
weeds, vigorous even yet. She threw il down
