I've kept you out on the porch.
I've offered you nothing.
I didn't even ask you inside.
Surely a cup of tea.
I know I'd like a cup.
For a moment, she was out of herself.
Just a brief moment.
But now the Puritan morality, the politeness, the kindness to other people, asserts itself.
The tight, pinched face, as the smile hostesses use when you walk into a restaurant.
Have a cup of tea?
Thank you.
I don't want to trouble you, but I would appreciate it.
It had almost seemed normal.
The bereaved woman, talking, offering tea on the porch of her house, like any other house on the clean street.
The altar hits you first.
A red lacquered vase, bright as a fire engine, rising three feet above the oriental rug, in the center of the large wall.
Candles in profusion, burning.
perhaps a hundred, at the foot of the altar and at the apex.
And an idol, a fantastic idol.
Three hideous monkeys, half life-size, grinning, smirking, glaring, their eyes fantastically real, as if there were life inside these grotesque monsters.
