The next book she read to Walter was " How to love your wife?" Soon after grandmother finished reading it, she died. Just like that. It was difficult to believe. It was only after I saw them lower her body and cover it that I knew she would not come back. The morning after she died, Walter came with food. Mother went to the door. " Mrs. Gorman is dead." she told Walter. " She died last night." Walter did not move at first, he did not seem to understand or he thought she was lying. He then tried to enter, but mother shut the door a little. " Can' t you understand, she is dead, no one is here, she died last night, please do not come here again." Walter just stood there, his face white. Mother closed the door on him. She telephoned the food store and told them not to send Walter any more. I did not see Walter again for a long time, I had forgotten all about him and the days grandmother had read to him. Then one day, I saw him. He looked different. He was wearing a suit of cloth, the coat was old, and the trousers had been worn many times. He wore a white shirt and a necktie. |
