Banks Lend Umbrellas When the Sun Is Shining and Ask for Them Back When It Starts to Rain

Dr. Heimler showed up again the next day. I figured he must’ve designated Saturdays his “Check on Rose Hawkins Day.” While I still pretended not to be home, his arrival didn’t give me such a panic this time. It was earlier in the morning than last time, and I hadn’t yet gone outside to work on the wash. This time I knew he hadn’t seen me, ’cause I was already inside. I’d also decided ahead of time not to let Mama sit on the back porch, just in case. I’d decided right. She was sitting peacefully in her chair, and the last time I checked, a wingback chair doesn’t rock. Dr. Heimler knocked a couple of times before getting in his car and driving away. Later, when I went out to sweep the front porch, a piece of paper fell from the door. It read:

Mrs. Hawkins,

I’ve dropped by the last two Saturdays to check on you. If you’ll send Lizzie to get me at your earliest convenience, I’ll be sure to come right away. We seem to be missing each other.

Sincerely,

Dr. Heimler
