The women sat among the doomed things, turning them over and looking past them and back. This book. My father had it. He liked a book. Pilgrim's Progress. Used to read it. Got his name in it, right here. And his pipe-still smells rank. And this picture-an angel. I looked at it before the fust three come-didn't seem to do much good. Think we could get this china dog in? Aunt Sadie brought it' from the St. Louis fair. See? Wrote right on it. No, I guess not. Here's a letter my brother wrote the day before he died. Here's an old-time hat. These feathers-never got to use them. No, there isn't room. How can we live without our lives? How will we know it's us without our past
