A month after the funeral, Maureen came into my bedroom one night and sat down. She had a pamphlet from the Duke University School of Medicine."I'm go...ng to cure cancer," she said softly."I know you are, sweetheart," I said, not to patronise or belittle her, but because I knew right then that if there was cure for cancer to be found anywhere in this world, Maureen was going to hunt it down, and she was going to destroy the disease that had taken her Mom from her. So she and I made a deal; if. The basement wasn't finished. It looked pretty plain and filled with a lot of junk the way basements are. The washer and dryer was down there and boxes and old bicycles and some weight lifting equipment that looked like it never got used. The only thing that seemed really odd was the old stained mattress laying flat on the floor and then they grabbed me."Push him down!"

I pulled open the door and found one of the lieutenants who roomed on the second floor above me. "Pardon," he said, looking at me as if I were a rubbish pile of some sort and smelled bad, "have you seen a woman, oh, yes, there she is." He stepped in the room, brushing past me as though I was invisible. "Mrs. McReynolds," he said, simpering, "your servant, ma'am. They tole me at the barracks, well, won' you come and dine with us. I know it's late, but, well, we'd be delighted, ma'am, yes,.
