humiliated when she was standing; almost naked; with a minimum undergarment; and it is that
it should apologize first。
… All right。 See you later。 I have a food for you … Ruby said; turning up。
Vanessa went to the puter to check for the hundredth time if Dan mandara you some e…mail。
This time he had! It was a poem! She pulled a chair and anxiously clicked twice in the file。
As soon as he opened; she began to read。
Read the poem three times on the screen before you print it and read again。 The words were
ugly and angry; and hurt。 Dan had not forgiven; it was very clear。
But Vanessa has always been able to see the beauty in ugly things; and she read requests for
publication in anger sufficient to know that the poem he was special。 It was full of rich
metaphors and a passionate language; and although he wanted to bury their heads covered and
in tears; she could not stop admiring the words intelligent。 It was brilliant。
Even if Dan never speak to her; and although the poem treat it entirely horrible person and
he thought she was; she would find that the poem was published。
Dan never tried to publish anything; but not as he had not bee numb when opening a copy
of The New Yorker and saw his poem 〃Putas〃 printed in the magazine。 What wonderful way to
impress the universities to which he was applying。 She could not fail to do so。 Should it to
him。
Leaping from the chair; Vanessa vasculhou the room of Ruby to find a copy of The New Yorker
stuck under the door of the closet。 Browse the magazine to find the name of the editor;
returned to the puter and wrote a letter to him; putting the name of Dan and address it
in a sealed envelope for response。
