She
was
right
.
I
'd
forgotten
all
about
what
time
it
was
.
472
Then
she
looked
at
me
and
asked
me
what
I
was
afraid
she
was
going
to
ask
me
.
"
Ernest
wrote
that
he
'd
be
home
on
Wednesday
,
that
Christmas
vacation
would
start
on
Wednesday
,
"
she
said
.
"
I
hope
you
were
n't
called
home
suddenly
because
of
illness
in
the
family
.
"
She
really
looked
worried
about
it
.
She
was
n't
just
being
nosy
,
you
could
tell
.
473
"
No
,
everybody
's
fine
at
home
,
"
I
said
.
"
It
's
me
.
I
have
to
have
this
operation
.

"
Oh
!
I
'm
so
sorry
,
"
she
said
.
She
really
was
,
too
.
I
was
right
away
sorry
I
'd
said
it
,
but
it
was
too
late
.
475
"
It
is
n't
very
serious
.
I
have
this
tiny
little
tumor
on
the
brain
.
"
476
"
Oh
,
no
!
"
She
put
her
hand
up
to
her
mouth
and
all
.
"
Oh
,
I
'll
be
all
right
and
everything
!
It
's
right
near
the
outside
.
And
it
's
a
very
tiny
one
.
They
can
take
it
out
in
about
two
minutes
.
"
477
Then
I
started
reading
this
timetable
I
had
in
my
pocket
.
Just
to
stop
lying
.
Once
I
get
started
,
I
can
go
on
for
hours
if
I
feel
like
it
.
No
kidding
.
Hours
.

We
did
n't
talk
too
much
after
that
.
She
started
reading
this
Vogue
she
had
with
her
,
and
I
looked
out
the
window
for
a
while
.
She
got
off
at
Newark
.
She
wished
me
a
lot
of
luck
with
the
operation
and
all
.
She
kept
calling
me
Rudolf
.
Then
she
invited
me
to
visit
Ernie
during
the
summer
,
at
Gloucester
,
Massachusetts
.
She
said
their
house
was
right
on
the
beach
,
and
they
had
a
tennis
court
and
all
,
but
I
just
thanked
her
and
told
her
I
was
going
to
South
America
with
my
grandmother
.
479
Which
was
really
a
hot
one
,
because
my
grandmother
hardly
ever
even
goes
out
of
the
house
,
except
maybe
to
go
to
a
goddam
matinee
or
something
.
But
I
would
n't
visit
that
sonuvabitch
Morrow
for
all
the
dough
in
the
world
,
even
if
I
was
desperate
.

The
first
thing
I
did
when
I
got
off
at
Penn
Station
,
I
went
into
this
phone
booth
.
I
felt
like
giving
somebody
a
buzz
.
I
left
my
bags
right
outside
the
booth
so
that
I
could
watch
them
,
but
as
soon
as
I
was
inside
,
I
could
n't
think
of
anybody
to
call
up
.
My
brother
D.
B.
was
in
Hollywood
.
My
kid
sister
Phoebe
goes
to
bed
around
nine
o'clock
--
so
I
could
n't
call
her
up
.
She
would
n't
've
cared
if
I
'd
woke
her
up
,
but
the
trouble
was
,
she
would
n't
've
been
the
one
that
answered
the
phone
.
My
parents
would
be
the
ones
.
So
that
was
out
.
Then
I
thought
of
giving
Jane
Gallagher
's
mother
a
buzz
,
and
find
out
when
Jane
's
vacation
started
,
but
I
did
n't
feel
like
it
.
Besides
,
it
was
pretty
late
to
call
up
.
Then
I
thought
of
calling
this
girl
I
used
to
go
around
with
quite
frequently
,
Sally
Hayes
,
because
I
knew
her
Christmas
vacation
had
started
already
--
she
'd
written
me
this
long
,
phony
letter
,
inviting
me
over
to
help
her
trim
the
Christmas
tree
Christmas
Eve
and
all
--
but
I
was
afraid
her
mother
'd
answer
the
phone
.
Her
mother
knew
my
mother
,
and
I
could
picture
her
breaking
a
goddam
leg
to
get
to
the
phone
and
tell
my
mother
I
was
in
New
York
.
Besides
,
I
was
n't
crazy
about
talking
to
old
Mrs.
Hayes
on
the
phone
.
She
once
told
Sally
I
was
wild
.
She
said
I
was
wild
and
that
I
had
no
direction
in
life
.
Then
I
thought
of
calling
up
this
guy
that
went
to
the
Whooton
School
when
I
was
there
,
Carl
Luce
,
but
I
did
n't
like
him
much
.
So
I
ended
up
not
calling
anybody
.
I
came
out
of
the
booth
,
after
about
twenty
minutes
or
so
,
and
got
my
bags
and
walked
over
to
that
tunnel
where
the
cabs
are
and
got
a
cab
.
