That
s
it
exactly
,
"
said
Grandma
.
"
Second
helpings
,
everyone
?
"
A
great
uproar
ensued
,
a
clashing
of
plates
,
a
swarming
of
arms
,
a
rush
of
voices
which
hoped
to
drown
blasphemous
inquiry
forever
,
Douglas
talking
louder
and
making
more
motions
than
the
rest
.
But
in
their
faces
you
could
see
their
world
tottering
,
their
happiness
in
danger
.
For
they
were
the
privileged
members
of
a
household
which
rushed
from
work
or
play
when
the
first
dinner
bell
was
so
much
as
clapped
once
in
the
hall
.
Their
arrival
in
the
dining
room
had
been
for
countless
years
a
sort
of
frantic
musical
chairs
,
as
they
shook
out
napkins
in
a
white
fluttering
and
seized
up
utensils
as
if
recently
starved
in
solitary
confinement
,
waiting
for
the
summons
to
fall
downstairs
in
a
mass
of
twitching
elbows
and
overflow
themselves
at
table
.
Now
they
clamored
nervously
,
making
obvious
jokes
,
darting
glances
at
Aunt
Rose
as
if
she
concealed
a
bomb
in
that
ample
bosom
that
was
ticking
steadily
on
toward
their
doom
.
Aunt
Rose
,
sensing
that
silence
was
indeed
a
blessing
devoted
herself
to
three
helpings
of
whatever
it
was
on
the
plate
and
went
upstairs
to
unlace
her
corset
.

"
Grandma
,
"
said
Aunt
Rose
down
again
.
"
Oh
what
a
kitchen
you
keep
.
It
s
really
a
mess
,
now
,
you
must
admit
.
Bottles
and
dishes
and
boxes
all
over
,
the
labels
off
most
everything
,
so
how
do
you
tell
what
you
re
using
?
I
d
feel
guilty
if
you
didn
t
let
me
help
you
set
things
to
rights
while
I
m
visiting
here
.
Let
me
roll
up
my
sleeves
.
"
"
No
,
thank
you
very
much
,
"
said
Grandma
.
Douglas
heard
them
through
the
library
walls
and
his
heart
thumped
.

"
It
s
like
a
Turkish
bath
in
here
,
"
said
Aunt
Rose
.
"
Let
s
have
some
windows
open
,
roll
up
those
shades
so
we
can
see
what
we
re
doing
.
"
"
Light
hurts
my
eyes
,
"
said
Grandma
.
"
I
got
the
broom
,
I
ll
wash
the
dishes
and
stack
them
away
neat
.
I
got
to
help
,
now
don
t
say
a
word
.
