Carole Marsh Quote
Is everything ok?I'm getting old and gray trying to keep up with them, John teased with a wink.Things are fine, Michele said. We've learned a lot about Bath and pirates and have been swimming a lot, and they have the neatest little library here, but . . . Michele stopped and slumped down in a heap on the floor by her Mother's feet. . . . but they haven't found that missing head yet? Mother finished.Exactly! Michele said. Just finding that stupid old head would solve everything, and I would have a chance to be in a real play before I'm old and gray.Such ambition! said Mother. I was delighted to get published before I was thirty. But I guess your reach should exceed your grasp.It seems like my grasp has been at straws so far this summer, Michele said.A quizzical two plus-two-equals-four look came over John's face. Just how hard have you kids been looking for that head? he asked.Oh . . . Michele began, biting her tongue for saying too much. We've just been keeping our eyes open.Hm, I think I'd better keep eyes open, John said, winking at Mother again. Lash them to the yardarms!Now, who's acting, Mother said and laughed.
