She
heard
Mr
.
Ganz
inhale
sharply
.
After
a
second
he
said
,
“
King
to
bishop
one
.
”
“
That
’
s
mate
in
three
,
”
Beth
said
,
without
turning
.
“
First
check
is
with
the
knight
.
The
king
has
the
two
dark
squares
,
and
the
bishop
checks
it
.
Then
the
knight
mates
.
”
Mr
.
Ganz
let
out
his
breath
slowly
.
“
Jesus
Christ
!
”
he
said
.
They
were
watching
the
Saturday
-
afternoon
movie
when
Mr
.
Fergussen
came
to
take
her
to
Mrs
.
Deardorff
’
s
office
.
It
was
a
movie
about
table
manners
called
“
How
to
Act
at
Dinnertime
,
”
so
she
didn
’
t
mind
leaving
.
But
she
was
frightened
.
Had
they
found
out
that
she
never
went
to
chapel
?
That
she
saved
pills
?
Her
legs
trembled
and
her
knees
felt
funny
as
Mr
.
Fergussen
,
wearing
his
white
pants
and
white
T
-
shirt
,
walked
her
down
the
long
hallway
,
down
the
green
linoleum
with
black
cracks
in
it
.
Her
thick
brown
shoes
squeaked
on
the
linoleum
,
and
she
squinted
her
eyes
under
the
bright
fluorescent
lights
.
The
day
before
had
been
her
birthday
.
No
one
had
taken
any
notice
of
it
.
Mr
.
Fergussen
,
as
usual
,
had
nothing
to
say
:
he
walked
smartly
down
the
hall
ahead
of
her
.
At
the
door
with
the
frosted
glass
panel
and
the
words
HELEN
DEARDORFF
—
SUPERINTENDENT
he
stopped
.
Beth
pushed
open
the
door
and
went
inside
.
A
secretary
in
a
white
blouse
told
her
to
go
on
to
the
back
office
.
Mrs
.
Deardorff
was
expecting
her
.
She
pushed
open
the
big
wooden
door
and
walked
in
.
In
the
red
armchair
sat
Mr
.
Ganz
,
wearing
a
brown
suit
.
Mrs
.
Deardorff
was
sitting
behind
a
desk
.
She
peered
at
Beth
over
tortoise
-
shell
glasses
.
Mr
.
Ganz
smiled
self
-
consciously
and
rose
halfway
from
the
chair
when
she
came
in
.
Then
he
sat
down
again
awkwardly
.
“
Elizabeth
,
”
Mrs
.
Deardorff
said
.
She
had
closed
the
door
behind
her
and
now
stood
a
few
feet
away
from
it
.
She
looked
at
Mrs
.
Deardorff
.
“
Elizabeth
,
Mr
.
Ganz
tells
me
that
you
are
a
”
—
she
adjusted
the
glasses
on
her
nose
—
“
a
gifted
child
.
”
Mrs
.
Deardorff
looked
at
her
for
a
moment
as
though
she
were
expected
to
deny
it
.
When
Beth
said
nothing
,
she
went
on
,
“
He
has
an
unusual
request
to
make
of
us
.
He
would
like
you
to
be
taken
to
the
high
school
on
…
”
She
looked
over
at
Mr
.
Ganz
again
.
“
On
Thursday
,
”
Mr
.
Ganz
said
.
