  Passage 2

  The war was the most peaceful period of my life. The window

  of my bedroom faced southeast. My mother had curtained it, but

  that had small effect. I always woke up with the first light and,

  with all the responsibilities of the previous day melted, felt

  myself rather like the sun, ready to shine and feel joy. Life

  never seemed so simple and clear and full of possibilities as

  then. I stuck my feet out under the sheets-I called them Mrs.

  Left and Mrs. Right-and invented dramatic situations for them in

  which they discussed the problems of the day. At least Mrs.

  Right did; she easily showed her feelings, but I didnt have the

  same control of Mrs. Left, so she mostly contented herself with

  nodding agreement.

  They discussed what Mother and I should do during the day,

  what Santa Claus should give a fellow for Christmas, and what

  steps should be taken to brighten the home. There was that

  little matter of the baby, for instance. Mother and I could

  never agree about that. Ours was the only house in the

  neighborhood without a new baby, and Mother said we couldnt

  afford one till Father came back from the war because if cost

  seventeen and six. That showed how foolish she was. The Geneys

  up the road had a baby, and everyone knew they couldnt afford

  seventeen and six. It was probably a cheap baby, and Mother

  wanted something really good, but I felt she was too hard to

  please. The Geneys baby would have done us fine.

  Having settled my plans for the day, I got up, put a chair

  under my window, and lifted the frame high enough to stick out

  my head. The window overlooked the front gardens of the homes

  behind ours, and beyond these it looked over a deep valley to

  the tall, red-brick house up the opposite hillside, which were

  all still shadow, while those on our side of the valley were all

  lit up, though with long storage shadows that made them seem

  unfamiliar, stiff and painted.

  After that I wentsintosMothers room and climbedsintosthe

  big bed. She woke and I began to tell her of my schemes. By this

  time, though I never seem to have noticed it, I was freezing in

  my nightshirt, but I warmed up as I talked until the last frost

  melted. I fell asleep beside her and woke again only when I

  heard her below in the kitchen, making breakfast.
