Stein, Gertrude
Experimental fiction, American
They did come. They came and it was the way they said they had stayed
that made the little one who sat where there was a seat eat what he ate.
He ate that and it was not the only way to ask for a pencil, it was
almost the best half of the whole that made them answer that the one who
had changed had been fatter. They said he had looked as if he were fat
when he was fatter, they said they were altogether. They meant that her
name was Lucy. They did not remember to say it. It was not complicated.
Everybody was not tired.
Half of the little piece was enough and if there was a quick movement
there would not be any change as the four who came would not come
often. That was the very friendliest thing to do to have a little pew
and not to sit in it and not to keep still a minute and to have a bed
and to have it said that the bed is not the best bed that was made when
there were not left any beds that had marble that was not colder than
some other that was not marble when it was where they saw it. It was not
the only bone the piece that was left when the day passed and in the
evening it was late, it was not the only piece there was when the little
one said that he would not stay to eat if he was to be taken away to go
to bed. They all ate something and they knew it was wet. Yesterday had
not been away. That was not easy not to say. They did say that they had
not been away.
All across the best of the wall space there is the place that is where
the pretty thing is and not alone is it there not alone, it is not
there. This is not what he said. He came to say that he knew that all
that that meant was that he had done very well to keep all those he kept
because if it did happen that he meant to keep away he would not have
all that which he said he had and he did not mean to refuse everything
he meant to finish very nicely. He did say that. He had been agreeable.
This was not the last time that he had the place finished. Certainly
not.
Able to answer he said that he was looking as he had to stay where there
was what he saw, he said that he liked flowers, he said that if he whom
he did not like to have living was rich, anything was awful. He did not
hesitate then. He came alone. That was nicer then, he did not say that
he had written the rest. If there was shown a piece that took up all
that space he would not part with it. He would not part with any of it.
Any day that was yesterday would keep bringing what he needed. He knew
that he had that little way. He said that he did not hear anything. He
came to remember a country that had been seen.
He was not the only one to have the meaning that a cold day that is
darker is darker. He did not underestimate the last of production. He
did say that he did not get any pleasure when one was showing what there
was. He did not wish to go. It was not the rest. He did not refuse to
repeat everything.
