 I hadn't thought about Mrs. Morgan for years,
until I read in the paper
that she had died. When I was a boy, Mrs. Morgan
played solo with my
mother every tuesday afternoon. There were two
other women there, but
I can't remember their names anymore. Monkey,
Magden, something like that.
Mrs. Morgan collected opals. Her husband Ted
owned a circus, which kept
him away and out of the picture most of the time.
I'd come home from
school and the women would be hard at the cards.
I liked Mrs. Morgan, she
always had a little chip of opal for me, and said
that I should save it for
a sweetheart. I came home one day and Mrs. Morgan
was crying in our kitchen.
My mother told me to leave them alone. I learned
later that a boy from the
circus had fallen and died. He used to ride the
trapeze. Mr. Morgan went out
of business and they moved away. I've still got
the opals. It's funny how
someone you've never met manages to stay with
you.
