72. Finally, twenty years later, the shepherdess also
disappeared. It was then that I was finally forced to question my Mother about
the figurines. She said:
73. After you broke the plaster shepherd, I did not know what to
do. I really wanted to throw the shepherdess out also but I couldn’t bring
myself to do it.
74. The two figures were a wedding gift from your Aunt Lucille,
and I have always hated them. Aunt Lucille, and Uncle Carmen’s living room is
full of hundreds of those things on little stands shelves and tables, and I can
hardly stand to go over there because of it.
75. But your father insisted, and so I put them on the window
ledge by the front door, where if they stopped by unexpectedly, like they
always did back then, they would see them.
