The girl put her cup back in its saucer(茶碟) carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” Her voice was hungry with a need that no amount of food could supply. They left after that, holdin

43、g their bundles of papers against the wind. They hadnt said “Thank you.” They didnt need to. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup.

44、rown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a good steady jobthese matched, too.I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy prints of small sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich
