She
bent
over
and
pulled
off
her
shoes
and
lay
back
,
stretching
out
on
its
great
,
comforting
expanse
,
turning
her
head
happily
to
look
over
at
the
tightly
closed
door
that
gave
her
this
room
entirely
to
herself
.
542
She
lay
awake
for
several
hours
that
night
,
not
wanting
to
go
to
sleep
right
away
.
There
was
a
streetlight
outside
her
windows
,
but
they
had
good
,
heavy
shades
that
she
could
pull
down
to
block
it
out
.
Before
saying
goodnight
,
Mrs
.
Wheatley
had
shown
Beth
her
own
room
.
It
was
on
the
other
side
of
the
hall
and
exactly
the
same
size
as
Beth
s
,
but
it
had
a
television
set
in
it
and
chairs
with
slipcovers
and
a
blue
coverlet
on
the
bed
.
It
s
really
a
remodeled
attic
,
Mrs
.
Wheatley
said
.
543
Lying
in
bed
,
Beth
could
hear
the
distant
sound
of
Mrs
.
Wheatley
coughing
and
later
she
heard
her
bare
feet
padding
down
the
hallway
to
the
bathroom
.
But
she
didn
t
mind
.
Her
own
door
was
closed
and
locked
.
No
one
could
push
it
open
and
let
the
light
fall
on
her
face
.
Mrs
.
Wheatley
was
alone
in
her
own
room
,
and
there
would
be
no
sounds
of
talking
or
quarreling
only
music
and
low
synthetic
voices
from
the
television
set
.
It
would
be
wonderful
to
have
Jolene
there
,
but
then
she
wouldn
t
have
the
room
to
herself
,
wouldn
t
be
able
to
lie
alone
in
this
huge
bed
,
stretched
out
in
the
middle
of
it
,
having
the
cool
sheets
and
now
the
silence
to
herself
.

On
Monday
she
went
to
school
.
Mrs
.
Wheatley
took
her
in
a
taxi
,
even
though
it
was
less
than
a
mile
.
Beth
went
into
seventh
grade
.
546
It
was
a
lot
like
the
public
high
school
in
that
other
town
where
she
had
done
the
chess
exhibition
,
and
she
knew
her
clothes
weren
t
right
,
but
no
one
paid
much
attention
to
her
.
A
few
of
the
other
students
stared
for
a
minute
when
the
teacher
introduced
her
to
the
class
,
but
that
was
it
.
She
was
given
books
and
assigned
to
a
home
room
.
From
the
books
and
what
the
teachers
said
in
class
she
knew
it
would
be
easy
.
She
recoiled
a
bit
at
the
loud
noises
in
the
hallways
between
classes
,
and
felt
self
-
conscious
a
few
times
when
other
students
looked
at
her
,
but
it
was
not
difficult
.
She
felt
she
could
deal
with
anything
that
might
come
up
in
this
sunny
,
noisy
public
school
.
547
At
lunchtime
she
tried
to
sit
alone
in
the
cafeteria
with
her
ham
sandwich
and
carton
of
milk
,
but
another
girl
came
and
sat
across
from
her
.
Neither
of
them
spoke
for
a
while
.
The
other
girl
was
plain
,
like
Beth
.

When
she
had
finished
half
her
sandwich
Beth
looked
across
the
table
at
her
.
Is
there
a
school
chess
club
?
she
asked
.
549
The
other
girl
looked
up
,
startled
.
What
?
550
Do
they
have
a
chess
club
?
I
want
to
join
.
