A fat and thickening silence settled over the curtains, between the plates, and on the sewing machine. It left the horoscopes uncut and the kettle unfilled. It dripped from the draining board, the chairs, and the unset table.
“Dear God," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. Let me be gay; let me be sad. Let me be cold; let me be warm. Let me be hungry...have too much to eat. Let me be ragged or well dressed. Let me be sincere - be deceitful. Let me be truthful; let me be a liar. Let me be honorable and let me sin. Only let me be something every blessed minute. And when I sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.”
