SAYMAN LINIMENT 106 | Made by the Makers of SAYMAN SALVE wouldn't reproach yourself afterward. The way you feel now, I — I don't even feel that I can ask you again to come with me." I didn't understand, not any of it. I moved through the next day or two numb with bewilderment, cleaning his clothes, helping him to pack, to sort the papers in his desk. None of it seemed real. He wasn't really going — not John, who loved me, who was dearer to me than my own life. And even after he had gone, and the house was as queerly silent and still as if death had visited it, I still didn't believe it. I had to remind myself not to set his place at the table; I lay wakeful and tense at night, listening for — expecting — John's step on the stairs, John's voice calling my name. And every morning I awoke with a sense of anticipation. Today I might hear from John. Surely today he would call me, or he would come into town, and I would meet him, even if by chance, on the street. When people asked about him, I told them that he'd bought the farm and had gone out there to "get it started" — as if at any time we would be together again. BUT the days passed, and there was no word, no sign from him. March became April, and the weather turned warm, and the whole world was achingly sweet with spring, and then I began to tell myself, "I must be patient; I must be prepared to wait a long time. Next fall — surely by next fall he will have given up." Mercifully, I didn't realize that he would never give up, and that he would certainly never come back, a failure, to me and to the security I had to offer. I was wretched enough in those weeks; I had trouble enough filling the lonely days, the empty nights, and I worked twice as hard as ever before. When the Methodist Church held its twenty-fifth anniversary celebration, I went all out — baked dozens of loaves of bread for the dinner, dozens of pies and cakes — and I outdid myself on the anniversary cake, a magnificent three-tiered structure, glistening white, with the name of the church traced in silver beads. I didn't trust anyone else with that cake. I carried it to the church myself, just before the dinner was scheduled to start, carefully maneuvered my delicate burden through the basement door which opened on the serving pantry. The little pantry was deserted at the moment; as I set the cake down to rest my arms I heard the chatter in the kitchen, the banging of oven doors and the clatter of crockery as the women prepared the dinner. I heard something else, too — my own name, and John's. ". . . mighty funny to me," a woman's voice was saying. "Betsey says John's gone out to get the farm started. What's there to start about the Corwin place, I'd like to know? The way old man Gorwin left it, all anyone would have to do would be to take over. My guess is that there's some trouble between them — " There was a murmur of agreement and then someone — -Mrs. Farley — said moderately, "After all, it can't be too easy, living with a cripple — " And then came Mrs. Evenson's voice, rising positively. "Of course it isn't! Believe me, I'd have thought twice before I married him, if I'd been in her shoes. In the first place, a woman doesn't feel the same way about a crippled husband as she would a normal man, and in the second place, a man that's got something wrong with his body is likely to have something "You will find a single drop of this will last a week."
