American Stories: Miriam (third chapter)

Miriam (part 3)
The room was empty. Mrs. Miller began to feel a little frightened, she went into the bedroom. Her jewelry box was open and Miriam was looking at Mrs. Miller’s jewels. The child turned to the old woman looking deeply into her eyes.

“I want this pearl necklace “, she told her.
“Put that back”, Mrs. Miller ordered, “you can’t have it. That necklace was a gift from my husband”
“But I want it”, Miriam insisted.” it’s beautiful. Give it to me.”
Mrs. Miller suddenly felt very weak. She felt as if she were going to faint. Miriam put on the pearl necklace and went into the living room. She ate the sandwich and drunk the milk quickly.
“That’s very nice”. She said when she had finished the food. “But I wish I had some cookies or chocolates.”
Mrs. Miller sat on the sofa. Her face was very white and her eyes were staring in the space.

“You promised to leave if I made the sandwich”, she said.

Miriam picked up her coat and put it on, and then she walked to Mrs. Miller.

“Kiss me good night. “She ordered.

Mrs. Miller trembled. "Please!" The old woman whispered, "I …I don’t want to.”

“All right,” Miriam said, lifting in the eyebrow.

She walked slowly to the door, turned and looked at Mrs. Miller, and then she was gone.
