ulntangibles Daddy, can I have a drink of water? Yesg now go away! The pressure of the book took up the tenseness in my thumbs. I could hear rather indistinctly The Mystery Story of the Week from the seven tube superheterodyne in the living room. For the seventh time I reread: The bell invites me. Hear it not, Duncang for it is a knell that summons thee to heaven or to hell.', Rick, the phone's ringing. Can you get it? UNO! damn itf' Don't be mad, dear. I'll get it. Will you turn the radio down? My thumbs pressed into the pages. Daddy, Holly wants a drink too. I flipped the page. Read,,' I commanded myself, Read, . . . These deeds must not be thought after these ways, so, it will make us mad . . . ,' I read. I lost myself. The hellish clamor around me faded to a pulse beat. Now and then a flash broke through from the telephone conversation. . . . Yes, Mother, these strikes are terrible . . . yes, he's studying for his Hnal . . . I think he'll get a 'B' . . . Well, when you're Rick's age and going to college it's not as easy as it could . . . ,' The page turned of itself. People were tolerant of my reading this highbrow stuff. They assumed a polite look of feigned interest for a minute, then rose up, saying they didn't have much time to read. Besides,', they'd comment after a pause, it,s too dry, and anyway whatis the fun in reading about a murder when you know who the murderer is all the time? Could it be, I thought, I have developed an inferiority complex over this stuff? . . . Oh no, Inspector! It was the maid who killed him. She knew he had athlete's foot. She mopped the floor with a deadly poison dissolved in the water. Anyone else was safe, but Mr. Ordway, getting out of the tub and stepping on the floor in his bare feet, absorbed the poison through the tiny lesions between his toes . . . ', I dug deeper into the next scene. It was a panacea for the vague nausea I felt deep in my throat. Here, thank God, was escape from heckling . . . from calls . . . from the chaos of the age . . . the homicidal maid and her deadly scrub bucket. I was in over my head now. The pulse beat subsiding to a bare palpitation. I read . . . Confusion now hath made its masterpiece. 5,IQyli,1e CLIFF MILLER
