now two old ladies sit peacefully knitting,
and their names are Sometimes and Always.
"i can't understand what Life could have seen in him," stitch
-counting Always severely remarks;and her sister(suppress-
ing a yawn)counters "o i don't know;Death's rather attractive"
- "attractive!why how can you say such a thing?when i think
of my poor dear husband" - "now don't be absurd:what i said was
'rather attractive', my dear;and you know very well that
Never was very much more than attractive, Never was
stunning"(a crash. Both jump)"good
heavens!"Always exclaims "what
was that?" - "well here comes your daughter"
soothes Sometimes; at which
Death's pretty wife enters;wringing her hands,and wailing
"that terrible child!" - "what" (Sometimes and Always together
cry) "now?" - "my doll:my beautiful doll;the very
first doll you gave me,mother(when i could scarcely
walk)with the eyes that opened and shut(you remember:
don't you auntie,we called her Love)and i've treasured
her all these years,and today i went through a closet
looking for something;and opened a box and there she
lay:and when he saw her,he begged me to let him
hold her;just once:and i told him 'Mankind,be careful;
she's terribly fragile; don't break her, or mother'll be angry' "
and then(except for
the clicking of needles)there was silence
