Stop that, not around Mommy. She would say, "Everything will be ok now." Will it? Ever? she thought.
Melvin did most of the driving with Alice switching over when they stopped for gas and once for a bite to eat. Breakfast sounded good to the adults but Susan had a burger and a milkshake. What a treat! Melvin ordered her some fries, too. "Mommy, when we get our new home, can we go out to eat burgers and fries every night?"
After the shock of Edie being a double amputee, Alice and Melvin found her to be quite interesting. Edie used to ice skate, ride horses, dance, swim and dive. She also made her own clothes. Made her first dress when she was nine years old. Which interested Alice. When she told them she made Susan's dress she had on (not the muddy one) they were in awe. How? Then she told them. Too bad Edie was moving away. Alice could give and get her a lot of business sewing. That sounded good to Edie, to have her own business. That's what she's going to do. I have to get another sewing machine. She told Alice what happened to her sewing machine.
