Two letters had arrived for Miss Theresa Stubblefield: she put them in her bag.

Moreover, nursing various Stubblefields -- her aunt, then her mother, then her father -- through their lengthy illnesses ( everybody could tell you the Stubblefields were always sick ), Theresa had had a chance to read quite a lot.

Glad to be alone, Theresa climbed the splendid outdoor staircase that opened to her left.

Marvelous, thought Theresa, climbing in her portly, well-bred way, for she was someone who had learned that if you only move slowly enough you have time to notice everything.

Theresa sat with her letters in her lap, breathing Mediterranean air.

Cousin Emma had simply put Miss Theresa Stubblefield, Rome, Italy, on the envelope, had walked up to the post office in Tuxapoka, Alabama, and mailed it with as much confidence as if it had been a birthday card to her next-door neighbor.

Two days before he was taken sick, Cousin Elec was out worrying about what too much rain might do to his sweetpeas, and Cousin Elec had always preserved in the top drawer of his secretary a mother-of-pearl paper knife which Theresa had coveted as a child and which he had promised she could have when he died.

As for Cousin Alexander Carraway, the only thing Theresa could remember at the moment about him ( except his paper knife ) was that he had had exceptionally long hands and feet and one night about one o'clock in the morning the whole Stubblefield family had been aroused to go next door at Cousin Emma's call -- first Papa, then Mother, then Theresa and George.

They all surrounded him, the family circle, Theresa and George as solemn as if they were watching the cat have kittens, and Cousin Emma running back and forth with a kettle of hot water which she poured steaming into a white enamelled pan.

He was younger than Theresa: she remembered looking down and seeing his great round eyes, while at the same time she was dimly aware that her mother and father were not unamused.

'' ( Theresa skipped a page of details about the house.

I really shouldn't have smoked a cigarette so early in the day, thought Theresa, it always makes me sick.

`` No '', said Theresa.

Theresa turned away to escape, and climbed to a higher landing where the steps divided in two.

Was he ever successful, Theresa wondered.

Theresa Stubblefield, still holding the family letters in one hand, realized that her whole trip to Europe was viewed in family circles as an interlude between Cousin Elec's death and `` doing something '' about Cousin Emma.

The trouble is, Theresa thought, that while everything that happens there is supposed to matter supremely, nothing here is supposed even to exist.
