“
Cashmere
.
”
Mrs
.
Wheatley
’
s
eyebrows
went
up
.
“
Cashmere
?
Are
you
sure
we
can
afford
it
?
”
“
Yes
.
”
Beth
found
a
pale
-
gray
sweater
on
sale
for
twenty
-
four
dollars
,
and
it
fit
her
perfectly
.
Looking
in
the
tall
mirror
,
she
tried
to
imagine
herself
as
a
member
of
the
Apple
Pi
Club
,
like
Margaret
;
but
the
face
was
still
Beth
’
s
face
,
round
and
freckled
,
with
straight
brown
hair
.
She
shrugged
and
bought
the
sweater
with
a
traveler
’
s
check
.
They
had
passed
an
elegant
little
shoe
store
with
saddle
oxfords
in
the
window
on
the
way
to
Shillito
’
s
and
she
took
Mrs
.
Wheatley
there
and
bought
herself
a
pair
.
Then
she
bought
argyle
socks
to
go
with
them
.
The
tag
said
:
“
100
%
wool
.
Made
in
England
.
”
Going
back
to
the
hotel
through
a
wind
that
whipped
tiny
snowflakes
against
her
,
Beth
kept
looking
down
at
her
new
shoes
and
high
plaid
socks
.
She
liked
the
way
her
feet
felt
,
liked
the
tightness
of
the
warm
socks
against
her
calves
,
and
liked
the
way
they
looked
—
bright
expensive
socks
above
bright
brown
-
and
-
white
shoes
.
She
kept
looking
down
.

That
afternoon
she
was
matched
with
a
middle
-
aged
Ohioan
with
a
rating
of
1910
.
She
played
the
Sicilian
and
forced
him
to
resign
after
an
hour
and
a
half
.
Her
mind
was
as
clear
as
it
had
ever
been
,
and
she
was
able
to
use
some
of
the
things
she
had
learned
over
the
past
weeks
from
studying
her
new
book
by
the
Russian
Master
Boleslavski
.
When
she
turned
in
her
score
sheet
Sizemore
was
standing
near
the
desk
.
She
saw
a
few
other
familiar
faces
from
that
tournament
,
and
it
felt
good
to
see
them
,
but
she
really
wanted
to
see
only
one
player
from
before
—
Townes
.
She
looked
several
times
but
didn
’
t
find
him
.
Back
in
their
room
that
evening
,
Mrs
.
Wheatley
watched
The
Beverly
Hillbillies
and
The
Dick
Van
Dyke
Show
,
while
Beth
set
up
and
went
over
her
two
games
,
looking
for
weaknesses
in
her
play
.
There
weren
’
t
any
.
Then
she
got
out
the
book
by
Reuben
Fine
on
end
-
games
and
began
studying
.
The
endgame
in
chess
had
its
own
feeling
;
it
was
like
an
altogether
different
contest
,
once
you
got
down
to
a
piece
or
two
on
each
side
and
the
question
became
one
of
queening
a
pawn
.
It
could
be
agonizingly
subtle
;
there
was
no
chance
for
the
kind
of
violent
attack
Beth
loved
.
But
she
was
bored
with
Reuben
Fine
,
and
after
a
while
she
closed
the
book
and
went
to
bed
.
