Lucy

1 I took my exams on my hospital bed while Mother Lucy, who brought the papers herself, waited on a chair next to Mama.

2 Upstairs, I stand in front of Lucy’s door for a moment too long before going to my bedroom.

3 The door closes behind her, and I sink down onto Lucy’s bed.

4 I gave him a reproachful look and walked off without responding, but already, I suppose, I’d begun to entertain the possibility that he wasn’t, after all, making it up about Miss Lucy.

5 “I figured. Kylie and Lucy are here, too.”

6 All I could think was that was nice of Lucy.

7 So, despite my mother having a total meltdown over her inability to give her older sister a “proper funeral,” Lucy was cremated.

8 When he again lifted the lid off Lucy’s coffin we all looked—Arthur trembling like an aspen—and saw that the body lay there in all its death-beauty.

9 “Lucy, what’s the circumference of a circle with a radius of 8 yards?”

10 “I feel Lucy is holding back. I know she’s new to public school. There are enormous pressures.”

11 I skimmed the results, and they were all articles about how Lucy had died.

12 “I didn’t hear the first time Mother Lucy called me.”

13 “Lucy, do you want to come over after school?”

14 Lucy is the best person to fill this secretary vacancy.

露西是秘书这个空缺的最佳人选.

15 And that—right there in those handful of words—is how I feel about Lucy.

16 I am only taking one change of dress; Lucy will bring my trunk to London and keep it till I send for it, for it may be that ...

17 I assumed that come opening day, she’d be off in Lucy Jo’s Dart to Davy Elementary, even if we had to cajole her.

18 “Look away, Lucy,” he said to the dog, “let’s not embarrass Malone by staring at his nakedness.”

19 Clare had the crib, and her younger sister, Lucy, slept in the master bedroom.

20 Lucy was a stickler for perfection, and everything had to be exactly right.

露西是个追求完美的人，凡事都得完全符合要求。
