"That lambskin was a fancy of Mother's when she was a little girl, Clara had told me. On the day of her first communion, her godfather gave her a frizzy white lamb with a pink ribbon around its neck. The little girl was so happy, she wished the tiny animal would never grow up. My grandmother, who loved her daughter very much, had the lamb slaughtered and skinned, and its tanned hide lined with pink satin.
