“
You
can
put
your
things
in
the
nightstand
,
”
Fergussen
said
.
He
looked
at
her
for
a
minute
.
“
It
’
ll
be
nicer
over
here
.
”
She
stood
there
,
amazed
.
It
was
the
best
bed
in
the
ward
.
Fergussen
was
making
a
note
on
a
clipboard
.
She
reached
out
and
touched
his
forearm
with
her
fingertips
,
where
the
dark
hairs
grew
,
above
his
wristwatch
.
“
Thank
you
,
”
she
said
.
“
I
see
that
you
will
be
thirteen
in
two
months
,
Elizabeth
,
”
Mrs
.
Deardorff
said
.
“
Yes
,
ma
’
am
.
”
Beth
was
seated
in
the
straight
-
backed
chair
in
front
of
Mrs
.
Deardorff
’
s
desk
.
Fergussen
had
come
and
taken
her
from
study
hall
.
It
was
eleven
in
the
morning
.
She
had
not
been
in
this
office
for
over
three
years
.
The
lady
on
the
sofa
suddenly
spoke
up
,
with
strained
cheerfulness
.
“
Twelve
is
such
a
wonderful
age
!
”
she
said
.
The
lady
wore
a
blue
cardigan
over
a
silky
dress
.
She
would
have
been
pretty
except
for
all
the
rouge
and
lipstick
and
for
the
nervous
way
she
worked
her
mouth
when
she
talked
.
The
man
sitting
next
to
her
wore
a
gray
salt
-
and
-
pepper
tweed
suit
with
a
vest
.
“
Elizabeth
has
performed
well
in
all
of
her
schoolwork
,
”
Mrs
.
Deardorff
went
on
.
“
She
is
at
the
top
of
her
class
in
Reading
and
Arithmetic
.
”
“
That
’
s
so
nice
!
”
the
lady
said
.
“
I
was
such
a
scatterbrain
at
Arithmetic
.
”
She
smiled
at
Beth
brightly
.
“
I
’
m
Mrs
.
Wheatley
,
”
she
added
in
a
confidential
tone
.
The
man
cleared
his
throat
and
said
nothing
.
He
looked
as
if
he
wanted
to
be
somewhere
else
.
Beth
nodded
at
the
lady
’
s
remark
but
could
think
of
nothing
to
say
.
Why
had
they
brought
her
here
?
