Then
Mother
went
into
the
Library
.
There
was
more
talking
.
Then
the
bell
rang
again
,
and
Ruth
fetched
a
cab
.
The
children
heard
boots
go
out
and
down
the
steps
.
The
cab
drove
away
,
and
the
front
door
shut
.
Then
Mother
came
in
.
72
Her
dear
face
was
as
white
as
her
lace
collar
,
and
her
eyes
looked
very
big
and
shining
.
Her
mouth
looked
like
just
a
line
of
pale
red
--
her
lips
were
thin
and
not
their
proper
shape
at
all
.
73
"
It
's
bedtime
,
"
she
said
.
"
Ruth
will
put
you
to
bed
.

"
But
you
promised
we
should
sit
up
late
tonight
because
Father
's
come
home
,
"
said
Phyllis
.
75
"
Father
's
been
called
away
--
on
business
,
"
said
Mother
.
"
Come
,
darlings
,
go
at
once
.
"
76
They
kissed
her
and
went
.
Roberta
lingered
to
give
Mother
an
extra
hug
and
to
whisper
:
77
"
It
was
n't
bad
news
,
Mammy
,
was
it
?
Is
anyone
dead
--
or
--
"

"
Nobody
's
dead
--
no
,
"
said
Mother
,
and
she
almost
seemed
to
push
Roberta
away
.
"
I
ca
n't
tell
you
anything
tonight
,
my
pet
.
Go
,
dear
,
go
NOW
.
"
79
So
Roberta
went
.

Ruth
brushed
the
girls
'
hair
and
helped
them
to
undress
.
(
Mother
almost
always
did
this
herself
.
)
When
she
had
turned
down
the
gas
and
left
them
she
found
Peter
,
still
dressed
,
waiting
on
the
stairs
.
