That aisle in McDaniels thatwas full of pale pinks, purples and blues.I nodded my head rapidly and Mrs. Smyth's face broke out into a grin,"OK, little...chickadee. Go on, but you come right back this way. Anddon't dawdle." The old woman's strange dichotomy reminded me of Mrs.Feinstein and her fierce outer shell. Of course, Mrs. Feinstein nevercalled me a pet name, but Mrs. Smyth tended to call all the girls in mygrade something similar. It was still bizarre, but it was better thanwhat most.
