Susan knocked on the door several times before Miss Mable came to the door. She had the radio on in the kitchen so loud you could hear it outside. Gospel music. "Give Me That Old Time Religion." Edie recognized that song. Her mother played it on the piano all the time.
Miss Mable looked shocked when she opened the door. Where on earth did these people come from? No car or truck? She looked at Edie with her mouth opened for about a minute before she said anything. "Can I help you all?"
"May I please use your phone?" Edie replied.
"Darling, yes you sure can. Now how are you gonna get up them steps?"
As luck would have it, here comes Miss Mable's brother Harry. He was the man that Edie met at the train station down town when she came home from Philadelphia. He pushed her chair to the cab and they talked while they were waiting for the cab. They were very glad to see one another. Now Harry can help Edie up the steps. Do I smell coffee? Edie thought as she entered the kitchen.
