But
they
didn
’
t
.
Mrs
.
Wheatley
spent
the
rest
of
the
morning
having
Beth
try
on
coats
from
marked
-
down
racks
and
turn
around
to
show
her
the
hemline
and
go
over
near
the
window
so
she
could
see
the
fabric
by
“
natural
light
,
”
and
finally
buying
one
and
insisting
they
go
down
by
elevator
.
“
Aren
’
t
we
going
to
look
at
the
chess
sets
?
”
Beth
said
,
but
Mrs
.
Wheatley
didn
’
t
answer
.
Beth
’
s
feet
hurt
,
and
she
was
perspiring
.
She
did
not
like
the
coat
she
was
carrying
in
a
cardboard
box
.
It
was
the
same
robin
’
s
-
egg
blue
as
Mrs
.
Wheatley
’
s
omnipresent
sweater
,
and
it
didn
’
t
fit
.
Beth
did
not
know
much
about
clothes
,
but
she
could
tell
that
this
store
sold
cheap
ones
.
When
the
elevator
stopped
at
the
third
floor
,
Beth
started
to
remind
her
about
the
chess
sets
,
but
the
door
closed
and
they
went
down
to
the
main
floor
.
Mrs
.
Wheatley
took
Beth
’
s
hand
and
led
her
across
the
street
to
the
bus
stop
,
complaining
about
the
difficulty
of
finding
anything
these
days
.
“
But
after
all
,
”
she
said
philosophically
as
the
bus
drew
up
to
the
corner
,
“
we
got
what
we
came
for
.
”
The
next
week
in
English
class
some
girls
behind
Beth
were
talking
before
the
teacher
came
in
.
“
Did
you
get
those
shoes
at
Ben
Snyder
’
s
or
something
?
”
one
of
them
said
.
“
I
wouldn
’
t
be
caught
dead
in
Ben
Snyder
’
s
,
”
the
other
girl
said
,
laughing
.

Beth
walked
to
school
every
morning
,
along
shady
streets
of
quiet
houses
with
trees
on
their
lawns
.
Other
students
went
the
same
way
,
and
Beth
recognized
some
of
them
,
but
she
always
walked
alone
.
She
had
enrolled
two
weeks
late
in
the
fall
term
,
and
after
her
fourth
week
,
mid
-
term
exams
began
.
On
Tuesday
she
had
no
tests
in
the
morning
and
was
supposed
to
go
to
her
home
room
.
Instead
she
took
the
bus
downtown
,
carrying
her
notebook
and
the
forty
cents
she
had
saved
from
her
quarter
-
a
-
week
allowance
.
She
had
her
change
ready
when
she
got
on
the
bus
.
The
chess
sets
were
still
on
the
counter
,
but
up
close
she
could
see
that
they
weren
’
t
very
good
.
When
she
picked
up
the
white
queen
she
was
surprised
at
how
light
it
was
.
She
turned
it
over
.
It
was
hollow
inside
and
made
of
plastic
.
She
put
it
back
as
the
saleswoman
came
up
and
said
,
“
May
I
help
you
?
”
“
Do
you
have
Modern
Chess
Openings
?
”
