One
afternoon
when
she
was
coming
out
of
the
library
she
was
startled
by
the
sound
of
distant
laughter
and
looked
down
the
hall
to
see
,
haloed
by
afternoon
sunlight
,
the
back
of
a
tall
black
girl
.
Two
shorter
girls
were
standing
near
her
,
by
the
water
fountain
,
looking
up
at
her
face
as
she
laughed
.
None
of
their
features
was
distinct
,
and
the
light
from
behind
them
made
Beth
squint
.
The
taller
girl
turned
slightly
,
and
Beth
’
s
heart
almost
stopped
at
the
familiar
tilt
of
her
head
.
Beth
took
a
quick
dozen
steps
down
the
hallway
toward
them
.
But
it
wasn
’
t
Jolene
.
Beth
stopped
suddenly
and
turned
away
.
The
three
girls
left
the
fountain
and
pushed
noisily
out
the
front
door
of
the
building
.
Beth
stood
staring
after
them
for
a
long
time
.

“
Could
you
go
to
Bradley
’
s
and
get
me
some
cigs
?
”
Mrs
.
Wheatley
said
.
“
I
think
I
have
a
cold
.
”
“
Yes
,
ma
’
am
,
”
Beth
said
.
It
was
Saturday
afternoon
and
Beth
was
holding
a
novel
in
her
lap
,
but
she
wasn
’
t
reading
it
.
She
was
playing
over
a
game
between
P
.
Morphy
and
someone
called
simply
“
grandmaster
.
”
There
was
something
peculiar
about
Morphy
’
s
eighteenth
move
,
of
knight
to
bishop
five
.
It
was
a
good
attack
,
but
Beth
felt
Morphy
could
have
been
more
destructive
with
his
queen
’
s
rook
.
“
I
’
ll
give
you
a
note
,
since
you
’
re
a
bit
youthful
for
smoking
yourself
.
”
“
Yes
,
ma
’
am
,
”
Beth
said
.
“
Three
packs
of
Chesterfields
.
”
“
Yes
,
ma
’
am
.
”
