The
next
two
weeks
were
busy
ones
for
the
family
.
Little
by
little
Louis
's
new
job
began
to
shake
down
for
him
(
how
it
would
be
when
ten
thousand
students
,
many
of
them
drug
and
liquor
abusers
,
some
afflicted
with
social
diseases
,
some
anxious
about
grades
or
depressed
about
leaving
home
for
the
first
time
,
a
dozen
of
them
--
girls
,
mostly
--
anorexic
...
how
it
would
be
when
all
of
them
converged
on
the
campus
at
once
would
be
something
else
again
)
.
And
while
Louis
began
getting
a
handle
on
his
job
as
head
of
University
Medical
Services
,
Rachel
began
to
get
a
handle
on
the
house
.
Gage
was
busy
taking
the
bumps
and
spills
that
went
with
getting
used
to
his
new
environment
,
and
for
a
while
his
nighttime
schedule
was
badly
out
of
whack
,
but
by
the
middle
of
their
second
week
in
Ludlow
,
he
had
begun
to
sleep
through
again
.
Only
Ellie
,
with
the
prospect
of
beginning
kindergarten
in
a
new
place
before
her
,
seemed
always
overexcited
and
on
a
hairtrigger
.
She
was
apt
to
go
into
prolonged
giggling
fits
or
periods
of
almost
menopausal
depression
or
temper
tantrums
at
the
drop
of
a
word
.
Rachel
said
Ellie
would
get
over
it
when
she
saw
that
school
was
not
the
great
red
devil
she
had
made
it
out
to
be
in
her
own
mind
,
and
Louis
thought
Rachel
was
right
.
Most
of
the
time
,
Ellie
was
what
she
had
always
been
--
a
dear
.
His
evening
beer
or
two
with
Jud
Crandall
became
something
of
a
habit
.
Around
the
time
Gage
began
sleeping
through
again
,
Louis
began
bringing
his
own
six-pack
over
every
second
or
third
night
.
He
met
Norma
Crandall
,
a
sweetly
pleasant
woman
who
had
rheumatoid
arthritis
--
filthy
old
rheumatoid
arthritis
,
which
kills
so
much
of
what
could
be
good
in
the
old
ages
of
men
and
women
who
are
otherwise
healthy
--
but
her
attitude
was
good
.
She
would
not
surrender
to
the
pain
;
there
would
be
no
white
flags
.
Let
it
take
her
if
it
could
.
Louis
thought
she
might
have
another
five
to
seven
years
productive
if
not
terribly
comfortable
years
ahead
of
her
.
Going
completely
against
his
own
established
customs
,
he
examined
her
at
his
own
instigation
,
inventoried
the
prescriptions
her
own
doctor
had
given
her
,
and
found
them
to
be
completely
in
order
.
He
felt
a
nagging
disappointment
that
there
was
nothing
else
he
could
do
or
suggest
for
her
,
but
her
Dr.
Weybridge
had
things
as
under
control
as
they
were
ever
going
to
be
for
Norma
Crandall
--
barring
some
sudden
breakthrough
,
which
was
possible
but
not
to
be
counted
upon
.
You
learned
to
accept
,
or
you
ended
up
in
a
small
room
writing
letters
home
with
Crayolas
.
Rachel
liked
her
,
and
they
had
sealed
their
friendship
by
exchanging
recipes
the
way
small
boys
trade
baseball
cards
,
beginning
with
Norma
Crandall
's
deep-dish
apple
pie
for
Rachel
's
beef
stroganoff
.
Norma
was
taken
with
both
of
the
Creed
children
--
particularly
with
Ellie
,
who
,
she
said
,
was
going
to
be
"
an
old-time
beauty
.
"
At
least
,
Louis
told
Rachel
that
night
in
bed
,
Norma
had
n't
said
Ellie
was
going
to
grow
into
a
real
sweet
coon
.
Rachel
laughed
so
hard
she
broke
explosive
wind
,
and
then
both
of
them
laughed
so
long
and
loudly
that
they
woke
up
Gage
in
the
next
room
.
The
first
day
of
kindergarten
arrived
.
Louis
,
who
felt
pretty
well
in
control
of
the
infirmary
and
the
medical-support
facilities
now
,
took
the
day
off
.
(
Besides
,
the
infirmary
was
currently
dead
empty
;
the
last
patient
,
a
summer
student
who
had
broken
her
leg
on
the
Student
Union
steps
,
had
been
discharged
a
week
before
.
)
He
stood
on
the
lawn
beside
Rachel
with
Gage
in
his
arms
,
as
the
big
yellow
bus
made
the
turn
from
Middle
Drive
and
lumbered
to
a
stop
in
front
of
their
house
.
The
doors
at
the
front
folded
open
;
the
babble
and
squawk
of
many
children
drifted
out
on
the
mild
September
air
.
Ellie
cast
a
strange
,
vulnerable
glance
back
over
her
shoulder
,
as
if
to
ask
them
if
there
might
not
yet
be
time
to
abort
this
inevitable
process
,
and
perhaps
what
she
saw
on
the
faces
of
her
parents
convinced
her
that
the
time
was
gone
,
and
everything
which
would
follow
this
day
was
simply
inevitable
--
like
the
progress
of
Norma
Crandall
's
arthritis
.
She
turned
away
from
them
and
mounted
the
steps
of
the
bus
.
The
doors
folded
shut
with
a
gasp
of
dragon
's
breath
.
The
bus
pulled
away
.
Rachel
burst
into
tears
.
"
Do
n't
,
for
Christ
's
sake
,
"
Louis
said
.
He
was
n't
crying
.
Only
damn
near
.
"
It
's
only
half
a
day
.
"
