Maybe

she
retorted

tartly

Now
sit
and
be
still

Heaven

"
New
York
City
,
1998
A.
D.
,
was
a
paradise
for
the
sightseer
more
than
ever
in
its
history
.
Gloria
's
parents
realized
this
and
made
the
most
of
it
.
On
direct
orders
from
his
wife
,
George
Weston
arranged
to
have
his
business
take
care
of
itself
for
a
month
or
so
,
in
order
to
be
free
to
spend
the
time
in
what
he
,
termed
"
dissipating
Gloria
to
the
verge
of
ruin
.
"
Like
everything
else
Weston
did
,
this
was
gone
about
in
an
efficient
,
thorough
,
and
business-like
way
.
Before
the
month
had
passed
,
nothing
that
could
be
done
had
not
been
done
.
She
was
taken
to
the
top
of
the
half-mile
tall
Roosevelt
Building
,
to
gaze
down
in
awe
upon
the
jagged
panorama
of
rooftops
that
blended
far
off
in
the
fields
of
Long
Island
and
the
flatlands
of
New
Jersey
.
They
visited
the
zoos
where
Gloria
stared
in
delicious
fright
at
the
"
real
live
lion
"
(
rather
disappointed
that
the
keepers
fed
him
raw
steaks
,
instead
of
human
beings
,
as
she
had
expected
)
,
and
asked
insistently
and
peremptorily
to
see
"
the
whale
.
"
The
various
museums
came
in
for
their
share
of
attention
,
together
with
the
parks
and
the
beaches
and
the
aquarium
.
She
was
taken
halfway
up
the
Hudson
in
an
excursion
steamer
fitted
out
in
the
archaism
of
the
mad
Twenties
.
She
travelled
into
the
stratosphere
on
an
exhibition
trip
,
where
the
sky
turned
deep
purple
and
the
stars
came
out
and
the
misty
earth
below
looked
like
a
huge
concave
bowl
.
Down
under
the
waters
of
the
Long
Island
Sound
she
was
taken
in
a
glass-walled
sub-sea
vessel
,
where
in
a
green
and
wavering
world
,
quaint
and
curious
sea-things
ogled
her
and
wiggled
suddenly
away
.
On
a
more
prosaic
level
,
Mrs.
Weston
took
her
to
the
department
stores
where
she
could
revel
in
another
type
of
fairyland
.
In
fact
,
when
the
month
had
nearly
sped
,
the
Westons
were
convinced
that
everything
conceivable
had
been
done
to
take
Gloria
's
mind
once
and
for
all
off
the
departed
Robbie
--
but
they
were
not
quite
sure
they
had
succeeded
.
The
fact
remained
that
wherever
Gloria
went
,
she
displayed
the
most
absorbed
and
concentrated
interest
in
such
robots
as
happened
to
be
present
.
No
matter
how
exciting
the
spectacle
before
her
,
nor
how
novel
to
her
girlish
eyes
,
she
turned
away
instantly
if
the
corner
of
her
eye
caught
a
glimpse
of
metallic
movement
.
