Miriam (Part 2)
The child was thin and delicate. She wore a blue silk dress under her red velvet coat. Mrs. Miller felt strangely excited. And when the little girl looked at her, Mrs. Miller gave her a warm smile. The little girl walked over to her and said,” Would you do me a favor?"” Would you buy a ticket for me? They won’t let me go into the movies alone. “She handed Mrs. Miller the money. They stood together in the line.
Mrs. Miller felt there was something strange about the little girl. Her eyes were grey and very large, but they did not seem like the eyes of a child.
“What's your name? Dear.” Mrs. Miller asked.
“Miriam. “The child replied.
Mrs. Miller smiled, “why, isn't that funny, ““That's my name too. I'm Miriam Miller.”
The little girl was silent.
By this time they had reached the ticket office. Mrs. Miller bought two tickets. She gave one to Miriam and said.” It was very nice to have met you. But I must go now. “
Miriam just nodded her head.
The next week one evening after dinner, Mrs. Miller's door bell rang. She opened the door. The little girl in the red coat was standing there.
“Hello, “said Miriam,
Mrs. Miller did not know what to say. Miriam stepped into the apartment. She took off her red velvet coat and dropped it on the chair. The dress made a soft swishing sound as Miriam in walked around the room.
“What do you want? Mrs. “Miller asked, “and how did you know where I live? “
Miriam laughed. “Let’s talk about something else? “She said.
She walked over to the bird cage which was covered by a piece of cloth.
Mrs. Miller raised her voice. “Leave my bird alone. “
“Alright. “Miller said. “But I am hungry. “
“Look, “Mrs. Miller said. “If I prepare something for you to eat, will you be a good girl and go home? “
“I promise, “the little girl said.
Mrs. Miller’s hands were shaking as she made sandwich and poured a glass of milk for Miriam. She kept asking herself who the little girl was and why she had came to her house. Mrs. Miller carried the food into the living room.
