Marge Gellis watched the pen shiver in her hand. She set the pen down next to the sheet of yellow stationery. The sheet was blank. It would stay blank, she realized, because whatever courage, or conviction, she ever possessed had left her long ago (the day she and Norm were married, she knew). And it wasn't as if she had any place to go, any money, or friends, or relatives who could take her in. (Her mother, in that lousy, two-room apartment, certainly wouldn't welcome her, she knew.)

She was probably very fortunate that she had this place, and Norm; at the age of forty-five and never having been attractive, anyway, and with no talents, she was caught here, and lucky for it.

She worked the piece of yellow stationery into her hand, as if her hand were a spider gobbling the paper up. She wadded the paper into a tight ball and held it in her fist for a long while.

To have used it, she thought, to have written the kind of letter to her husband that her impulses told her had to be written would surely have been an act of self-destruction.
