Miss
Farley
had
a
set
of
forms
and
a
check
list
.
She
wanted
to
know
about
Beth
’
s
diet
and
her
schoolwork
and
what
plans
she
had
for
the
summer
.
Mrs
.
Wheatley
did
most
of
the
talking
.
Beth
could
see
her
become
more
expansive
with
each
question
.
“
You
can
have
no
idea
,
”
Mrs
.
Wheatley
said
,
“
of
how
marvelously
well
Beth
has
adjusted
to
the
school
environment
.
Her
teachers
have
been
immensely
impressed
with
her
work
…
”
Beth
could
not
remember
any
conversations
between
Mrs
.
Wheatley
and
the
teachers
at
school
,
but
she
said
nothing
.
“
I
had
hoped
to
see
Mr
.
Wheatley
,
too
,
”
Miss
Farley
said
.
“
Will
he
be
here
soon
?
”
Mrs
.
Wheatley
smiled
at
her
.
“
Allston
called
earlier
to
say
he
was
terribly
sorry
,
but
he
couldn
’
t
come
.
He
’
s
really
been
working
so
hard
.
”
She
looked
over
at
Beth
,
still
smiling
.
“
Allston
is
a
marvelous
provider
.
”
“
Is
he
able
to
spend
much
time
with
Beth
?
”
Miss
Farley
said
.
“
Why
,
of
course
!
”
Mrs
.
Wheatley
said
.
“
Allston
is
a
wonderful
father
to
her
.
”
Shocked
,
Beth
looked
down
at
her
hands
.
Not
even
Jolene
could
lie
so
well
.
For
a
moment
she
had
believed
it
herself
,
had
seen
an
image
of
a
helpful
,
fatherly
Allston
Wheatley
—
an
Allston
Wheatley
who
did
not
exist
outside
of
Mrs
.
Wheatley
’
s
words
.
But
then
she
remembered
the
real
one
,
grim
,
distant
and
silent
.
And
there
had
been
no
call
from
him
.
During
the
hour
they
were
there
,
Fergussen
said
almost
nothing
.
When
they
got
up
to
leave
,
he
held
out
his
hand
to
Beth
and
her
heart
sank
.
“
Good
to
see
you
,
Harmon
,
”
he
said
.
She
took
his
hand
to
shake
it
,
wishing
that
he
could
stay
behind
somehow
,
to
be
with
her
.
