Mrs
.
Deardorff
went
on
about
Beth
’
s
school
work
while
the
lady
in
the
blue
cardigan
paid
rapt
attention
.
Mrs
.
Deardorff
said
nothing
about
the
green
pills
or
about
Beth
’
s
chess
playing
;
her
voice
seemed
filled
with
a
distant
approval
of
Beth
.
When
she
had
finished
there
was
an
embarrassed
silence
for
a
while
.
Then
the
man
cleared
his
throat
again
,
shifted
his
weight
uneasily
and
looked
toward
Beth
as
though
he
were
looking
over
the
top
of
her
head
.
“
Do
they
call
you
Elizabeth
?
”
He
sounded
as
if
there
were
a
bubble
of
air
in
his
throat
.
“
Or
is
it
Betty
?
”
She
looked
at
him
.
“
Beth
,
”
she
said
.
“
I
’
m
called
Beth
.
”
During
the
next
few
weeks
she
forgot
about
the
visit
in
Mrs
.
Deardorff
’
s
office
and
absorbed
herself
in
schoolwork
and
in
reading
.
She
had
found
a
set
of
girls
’
books
and
was
reading
through
them
whenever
she
had
a
chance
—
in
study
halls
,
at
night
in
bed
,
on
Sunday
afternoons
.
They
were
about
the
adventures
of
the
oldest
daughter
in
a
big
,
haphazard
family
.
Six
months
before
,
Methuen
had
gotten
a
TV
set
for
the
lounge
,
and
it
was
played
for
an
hour
every
evening
.
But
Beth
found
that
she
preferred
Ellen
Forbes
’
s
adventures
to
I
Love
Lucy
and
Gunsmoke
.
She
would
sit
up
in
bed
,
alone
in
the
dormitory
,
and
read
until
lights
out
.
No
one
bothered
her
.
One
evening
in
mid
-
September
she
was
alone
reading
when
Fergussen
came
in
.
“
Shouldn
’
t
you
be
packing
?
”
he
asked
.
She
closed
her
book
,
using
her
thumb
to
keep
her
place
.
“
Why
?
”
“
They
haven
’
t
told
you
?
”
“
Told
me
what
?
”
“
You
’
ve
been
adopted
.
You
’
re
being
picked
up
after
breakfast
.
”
She
just
sat
there
on
the
edge
of
the
bed
,
staring
at
Fergussen
’
s
broad
white
T
-
shirt
.
