Betty Smith Quotes

Francie Nodded Shyly. The Girl Brought An Eraser Close To The Mesh. Francie Poked A Finger Through To Touch The Vari-colored Felt Layers Blended Together By A Film Of Powdered Chalk. As She Was About To Touch This Soft Beautifulness, The Little Girl Snatched It Away And Spat Full In Francie's Face. Francie Closed Her Eyes Tightly To Keep The Hurt Bitter Tears From Spilling Out. The Other Girl Stood There Curiously, Waiting For The Tears. When None Came, She Taunted: "Why Don't You Bust Out Crying, You Dockle? Want I Should Spit In Your Face Again?" Francie Turned And Went Down Into The Cellar And Sat In The Dark A Long Time Waiting Until The Waves Of Hurt Stopped Breaking Over Her. It Was The First Of Many Disillusionments That Were To Come As Her Capacity To Feel Things Grew. She Never Liked Blackboard Erasers After That.
