A Dinner Of Herbs (104 page)

At this John put his arms around her, and she about him, and they clung together for a moment. And she

thought: How strange, I’ve had to wait, too, until I’m forty before my brother embraces me.

Quietly now, she turned from him and went towards Willy and, taking his waiting hand,

she gripped it.

She would have all the embraces she needed in life from now on. And when her child

was born, be it

male or female, she would see that it was cuddled and held as a baby, and that never in its life would it be

starved for affection. So whatever it did in life, good, bad, or indifferent, could not be laid at the door of

a starved life. Moreover, she would teach it not to hate.
