Chapter Ten

On the night of the Leather Show in Lavender Hall, Junior had to meet up with Stella to get his dancing outfit together. While he was walking down the path toward Stella’s cabin, he ran into an older couple who were renting a house in The Farms for the summer. No one ever referred to them by their last name: they were Hector and Myrtle, or “the old couple from Brooklyn.” And they were never seen apart.

Myrtle was down on her knees, at the foot of the stone steps that led to the summer help cabins. Hector was standing over her scratching the back of his silver-white head. Myrtle had just dropped her purse on the path and everything had fallen out. The purse was a huge bamboo affair, with thick leather straps and a gold clasp. Junior thought it was more like the size of a small briefcase than a purse.

When Junior saw this, he kneeled to help the old woman. Myrtle seemed frail and brittle and her spotted fingers reminded him of claws. It was getting late and he was in a hurry, so he grabbed a few men’s wallets and a pair of sunglasses with thick black frames she couldn’t reach and shoved them into the bamboo purse.

“Thank you so much,” Myrtle said. Her voice was high-pitched and light. “I’m such a mess, and this old bag has too much inside.”

The purse was so packed with junk, from eyeglasses cases to half full boxes of Chiclets, she could barely close it and fasten the gold clasp. It smelled of mothballs and mints. Junior wondered why she was carrying all those men’s wallets around like that, but he figured it wouldn’t have been polite to ask. Old people, he knew, had peculiar habits.

When everything was back inside the purse, he lifted it off the path and helped the old woman up to her feet. He handed her the heavy purse and smiled.

“I can’t thank you enough,” she said.

“You’re a very nice young man,” Hector added. He was looking up at the sky, as if he were avoiding Junior’s face.

“You’re welcome,” Junior said, walking backward to the steps. He didn’t want to talk. He wanted to get ready for the show that night. “Well, I’ll see you later,” he said, then turned around fast and jogged up the steps.

When he reached Stella’s cabin, she was waiting for him near the bed. She wasn’t wearing any makeup that afternoon and her blond hair was up in a neat French twist. This was the first time Junior had ever seen her in casual short pants, sneakers, and a simple white blouse. She had smooth clear skin and soft green eyes. Without makeup, he thought she looked much younger. His outfit for the show was neatly resting on the mattress, and the knee-high black leather boots with the four-inch high heels were on the floor at the foot of the bed.

Junior looked down at the bed and stared. He pressed his
