What it says
Hannah is eighteen today. Her card went on Monday. We telephoned after supper, and she answered from a corridor with a great deal of noise behind her; her floor had made her a cake out of something. The proper dinner is Sunday, when her parents can come.
Eighteen years ago this morning I was in the library at Tamarack Hill, shelving the new picture books, when Bunny came to the door herself instead of buzzing. Ellen had gone in at five. I taught until 11:30, because there was nobody to take the kindergarten, and then R. came for me in the old truck and we drove to Naperville with the windows down. She was four hours old when I held her. That was before I kept anything in here, so I am putting it down now.
R. has his slide rule out on the desk in the den. He means to give it to her on Sunday. I said she will not know what it is. He said, "She will in five minutes."
