The Loves of Leopold Singer
Page 39
“I think life is what matters,” she said.
“And love.” Susan gave Marta a cookie for Jane.
Marta grabbed Susan’s hand. “And loving.”
Leopold was gone, and she would always know she hadn’t loved him enough. Reverend Grim was gone, and she would have to live with the knowledge she could have, should have been kinder to him. Could she have another chance with Persey? She would do what she could for him, for his sake, for Leopold’s sake and for her own.
“Find work to do and people to love—that’s how to stay alive,” Marta said to herself more than to Susan, unaware she held the cookie just out of Jane’s reach.
Jane chortled as if Marta had made a good joke. “My bi-ket.” The child stretched forth her hand.
