Where have you been? Yehudit's mother said Benny's place Yehudit replied (not thinking it worth the risk in lying about where she'd been) alone? no his mum was there Yehudit said not mentioning lying on Benny's bed listening to Elvis and the kiss what did you do there? her mother asked eyeing her moodily talked and listened to records Yehudit said pushing the image of her and Benny on his bed how is his mother? she's ok talked to us about things Yehudit said what things? her mother said voice hardening like granite words about making cakes and how to decorate them (Benny's mother had said hello and said they could go to Benny's room to listen to records) is that all? her mother said like some Spanish Inquisition interrogator o yes and about Benny's love affair with Marilyn Monroe Yehudit said are you being funny or rude? her mother said no it's true he has photos of Marilyn in frames in his room Yehudit said (2 photos by his bed) odd boy her mother said unsmiling well seeing as you are back there are chores to be done Yehudit took off her coat and set to work thinking of Benny's lips and kisses on his bed floating about her head.
