Chapter 3 THE TINY BOX I hadn’t really forgotten my strange adventures in the sky but by the Spring of 1947 it had been so long since my “treatment” at the hands of my visitors that I rarely thought of my forays through space, anymore. Mother and Daddy and I were planning to move into my grandparent’s huge house and I loved exploring their big place, especially the music room. I could be pretty sure that when I was in that room with the grand piano I would be the only one in there. I knew I’d miss the attic in our old house though and one of my favorite occupations was searching through the trunks and suitcases which were full of my mother’s discarded clothing. I thought of her dresses as “lady dresses.” My favorite was made of peach colored silk. I’d gotten up enough nerve to put the dress on just as the sun was rising high in the sky. After a quick dance across the room I took off the pale silk and folded it to replace it in the tray of the humpback trunk. It was wonderful to touch and smooth the silk and satin dresses there. A navy blue and an emerald satin dress were nestled into the tray with the peach silk. I tipped the tray up to take one last look at the mass of bright satin, feathers and lace that filled the space below. “Mama’s things are pretty.” As I talked I glanced up at the darkening window in the nearest dormer. “I’ll choose the green dress tomorrow. To wear when I get to sit at Grandma’s piano.” I smoothed the satin and silk surfaces once again before I clicked the lid closed. “Gotta hurry. Mama’ll be waiting.” The chicken was good but there was the spoonful of green beans that mama had put on my plate and the two slices of tomato. She would never let me be excused from 24

Now for the porch. “Can I go to the porch, mama” “May I.” “May I” “Yes. But stay on the porch.” “Can I go out into the yard” “Better stay on the porch.” Just before I let the screen door slip from my hand I turned back and asked her the question I’d been holding back for a week. “Mama, could I take one of your pretty dresses with me when we go to grandpas” “My dresses” “You know. The dresses in the attic. The ones you wore when you were a model in St. Louis.” “We’ll see tomorrow. Don’t slam the screen.” I flipped on the porch light, then allowed the screen door to settle quietly into place. When the light was on the porch seemed more like a platform for performing to me. Maybe the neighbors were looking at me even though it was afternoon. At least I was wearing one of my favorite dresses. The pale blue with the circular skirt. I lifted the side of the skirt and danced a series of pirouettes toward the side banister. When I closed my eyes I could see myself as a beautiful woman in a satin gown, a green satin gown. I could see myself dancing. “Like Ginger Rogers, maybe,” I mumbled, and in my own mind the porch became my lighted stage. Whirl, glide, a tiny run and another whirl. Eyes still closed, I touched the banister at the far end then without looking I whirled the length of the porch, dizzying myself with my wild dance. I tripped just a little and opened my eyes to the lush green of a wide meadow bordered by trees. The grass was the same color as Mama’s satin dress. The meadow looked
