Home By Gwendolyn Brooks - 1953

What had been wanted was this always, this always to last, the talking softly on this porch, with the snake plant in the

jardinière1 in the southwest corner, and the obstinate2 slip from Aunt Eppie’s magnificent Michigan fern at the left side

of the friendly door. Mama, Maud Martha, and Helen rocked slowly in their rocking chairs, and looked at the late

afternoon light on the lawn and at the emphatic3 iron of the fence and at the poplar tree.4

These things might soon be theirs no longer. Those shafts and pools of light, the tree, the graceful iron, might soon be

viewed passively by different eyes. Papa was to have gone that noon, during his lunch hour, to the office of the Home

Owners’ Loan. If he had not succeeded in getting another extension, they would be leaving this house in which they had

lived for more than fourteen years. There was little hope. The Home Owners’ Loan was hard. They sat, making their

plans.

“We’ll be moving into a nice flat somewhere,” said Mama. “Somewhere on South Park, or Michigan, or in Washington

Park Court.” Those flats, as the girls and Mama knew well, were burdens on wages twice the size of Papa’s. This was not

mentioned now.

“They’re much prettier than this old house,” said Helen. “I have friends I’d just as soon not bring here. And I have other

friends that wouldn’t come down this far for anything, unless they were in a taxi.”

Yesterday, Maud Martha would have attacked her. Tomorrow she might. Today she said nothing. She merely gazed at a

little hopping robin in the tree, her tree, and tried to keep the fronts of her eyes dry.

“Well, I do know,” said Mama, turning her hands over and over, “that I’ve been getting ‘tireder’ and ‘tireder’ of doing

that firing. From October to April, there’s firing to be done.”

“But lately we’ve been helping, Harry and I,” said Maud Martha. “And sometimes in March and April and in October, and

even in November, we could build a little fire in the fireplace. Sometimes the weather was just right for that.”

She knew, from the way they looked at her, that this had been a mistake. They did not want to cry. But she felt that the

little line of white, sometimes ridged with smoked purple, and all that cream-shot saffron5 would never drift across any

western sky except that in back of this house. The rain would drum with as sweet a dullness nowhere but here. The birds

on South Park were mechanical birds, no better than the poor caught canaries in those “rich” women’s sun parlors.

“It’s just going to kill Papa!” burst out Maud Martha. “He loves this house! He lives for this house!”

“He lives for us,” said Helen. “It’s us he loves. He wouldn’t want the house, except for us.”

“And he’ll have us,” added Mama, “wherever.”

“You know,” Helen sighed, “if you want to know the truth, this is a relief. If this hadn’t come up, we would have gone on,

just dragged on, hanging out here forever.”

“It might,” allowed Mama, “be an act of God. God may just have reached down and picked up the reins.”

“Yes,” Maud Martha cracked in, “that’s what you always say — that God knows best.”

Her mother looked at her quickly, decided the statement was not suspect, looked away. Helen saw Papa coming.

“There’s Papa,” said Helen.

Day 21 8th ELA

They could not tell a thing from the way Papa was walking. It was that same dear little staccato6 walk, one shoulder

down, then the other, then repeat, and repeat. They watched his progress. He passed the

Kennedys’, he passed the vacant7 lot, he passed Mrs. Blakemore’s. They wanted to hurl themselves over the fence, into

the street, and shake the truth out of his collar. He opened his gate — the gate — and still his stride and face told them

nothing.

“Hello,” he said.

Mama got up and followed him through the front door. The girls knew better than to go in too. Presently Mama’s head

emerged. Her eyes were lamps turned on.

“It’s all right,” she exclaimed. “He got it. It’s all over. Everything is all right.”

The door slammed shut. Mama’s footsteps hurried away. “I think,” said Helen, rocking rapidly, “I think I’ll give a party. I

haven’t given a party since I was 11. I’d like some of my friends to just casually see that we’re homeowners.

Passage

The Lion in Love

By Aesop

A lion demanded the daughter of a woodcutter in marriage. The Father, unwilling to grant, and yet afraid to refuse his

request, hit upon this expedient1 to rid himself of his importunities.2 He expressed his willingness to accept the Lion as

the suitor3 of his daughter on one condition: that he should allow him to extract4 his teeth, and cut off his claws, as his

daughter was fearfully afraid of both. The Lion cheerfully assented to the proposal. But when the toothless, clawless

Lion returned to repeat his request, the Woodman, no longer afraid, set upon him with his club, and drove him away

into the forest.

Comprehension Passage -The Lottery Ticket by Anton P. Chekhov

Directions: Read the short story and answer the questions that follow. Refer to the text to check your answers.

Ivan Dmitritch, a middle-class man who lived with his family on an income of twelve hundred a year and was very well satisfied with his lot, sat down on the sofa after supper and began reading the newspaper.

"I forgot to look at the newspaper today," his wife said to him as she cleared the table. "Look and see whether the list of

drawings is there."

"Yes, it is," said Ivan Dmitritch; "but hasn't your ticket expired?"

"No, I bought it on Tuesday."

"What is the number?"

"Series 9,499, number 26."

"All right... we will look... 9,499 and 26."

Ivan Dmitritch had no faith in lottery luck, and would not, as

a rule, have consented to look at the lists of winning numbers,

but now, as he had nothing else to do and as the newspaper

was before his eyes, he passed his finger downwards along the

column of numbers. And immediately, as though in mockery of his skepticism1, no further than the second line from the

top, his eye was caught by the figure 9,499! Unable to believe

his eyes, he hurriedly dropped the paper on his knees without

looking to see the number of the ticket, and, just as though he

had drank a glass of cold water, he felt an agreeable chill in

the pit of the stomach; tingling and terrible and sweet!

"Masha, 9,499 is there!" he said in a hollow voice.

His wife looked at his astonished and panic-stricken face, and

realized that he was not joking.

"9,499?" she asked, turning pale and dropping the folded tablecloth on the table.

"Yes, yes... it really is there!"

"And the number of the ticket?"

"Oh, yes! There's the number of the ticket too. But stay... wait!

No, I say! Anyway, the number of our series is there! Anyway,

you understand..."

Looking at his wife, Ivan Dmitritch gave a broad, senseless

smile, like a baby when a bright object is shown it. His wife

smiled too; it was as pleasant to her as to him that he only

mentioned the series, and did not try to find out the number of

the winning ticket. To torment and tantalize oneself with

hopes of possible fortune is so sweet, so thrilling!

"It is our series," said Ivan Dmitritch, after a long silence. "So there is a probability that we have won. It's only a probability, but there it is!"

"Well, now look!"

"Wait a little. We have plenty of time to be disappointed. It's

on the second line from the top, so the prize is seventy-five

thousand. That's not money, but power, capital! And in a

minute I shall look at the list, and there--26! Eh? I say, what if we really have won?"

The husband and wife began laughing and staring at one another in silence. The possibility of winning bewildered

them; they could not have said, could not have dreamed, what

they both needed that seventy-five thousand for, what they

would buy, where they would go. They thought only of the

figures 9,499 and 75,000 and pictured them in their

imagination, while somehow they could not think of the

happiness itself which was so possible.

Ivan Dmitritch, holding the paper in his hand, walked several

times from corner to corner, and only when he had recovered

from the first impression began dreaming a little.

"And if we have won," he said--"why, it will be a new life, it

will be a transformation! The ticket is yours, but if it were

mine I should, first of all, of course, spend twenty-five

thousand on real property in the shape of an estate; ten thousand on immediate expenses, new furnishing...

travelling... paying debts, and so on... The other forty

thousand I would put in the bank and get interest on it."

"Yes, an estate, that would be nice," said his wife, sitting down

and dropping her hands in her lap.

"Somewhere in the Tula or Oryol2 provinces... In the first place we shouldn't need a summer villa, and besides, it would

always bring in an income."

And pictures came crowding on his imagination, each more

gracious and poetical than the last. And in all these pictures he

saw himself well-fed, serene, healthy, felt warm, even hot!

Here, after eating a summer soup, cold as ice, he lay on his

back on the burning sand close to a stream or in the garden

under a lime-tree... It is hot... His little boy and girl are

crawling about near him, digging in the sand or catching

ladybirds in the grass. He dozes sweetly, thinking of nothing, and feeling all over that he need not go to the office today,

tomorrow, or the day after. Or, tired of lying still, he goes to

the hayfield, or to the forest for mushrooms, or watches the

peasants catching fish with a net. When the sun sets he takes

a towel and soap and saunters to the bathing-shed, where he

undresses at his leisure, slowly rubs his bare chest with his

hands, and goes into the water. And in the water, near the

opaque3 soapy circles, little fish flit to and fro and green water-weeds nod their heads. After bathing there is tea with

cream and milk rolls... In the evening a walk or vint4 with the

neighbors.

"Of course, all that is silly nonsense," he thought; "but... why

should she go abroad? What would she make of it? And yet

she would go, of course... I can fancy... In reality it is all one

of 6

Day 25 8th ELA

"Yes, it would be nice to buy an estate," said his wife, also

dreaming, and from her face it was evident that she was

enchanted by her thoughts.

Ivan Dmitritch pictured to himself autumn with its rains, its

cold evenings, and its St. Martin's5 summer. At that season

he would have to take longer walks about the garden and beside the river, so as to get thoroughly chilled, and then drink

a big glass of vodka and eat a salted mushroom or a soused

cucumber, and then--drink another... The children would

come running from the kitchen-garden, bringing a carrot and

a radish smelling of fresh earth... And then, he would lie

stretched full length on the sofa, and in leisurely fashion turn

over the pages of some illustrated magazine, or, covering his

face with it and unbuttoning his waistcoat, give himself up to slumber.

The St. Martin's summer is followed by cloudy, gloomy

weather. It rains day and night, the bare trees weep, the wind

is damp and cold. The dogs, the horses, the fowls--all are wet, depressed, downcast. There is nowhere to walk; one can't go

out for days together; one has to pace up and down the room,

looking despondently at the grey window. It is dreary!

Ivan Dmitritch stopped and looked at his wife.

"I should go abroad, you know, Masha," he said.

And he began thinking how nice it would be in late autumn to

go abroad somewhere to the South of France... to Italy... to

India!

"I should certainly go abroad too," his wife said. "But look at

the number of the ticket!"

"Wait, wait!..."

He walked about the room and went on thinking. It occurred to him: what if his wife really did go abroad? It is pleasant to

travel alone, or in the society of light, careless women who

live in the present, and not such as think and talk all the

journey about nothing but their children, sigh, and tremble

with dismay over every penny. Ivan Dmitritch imagined his

wife in the train with a multitude of parcels, baskets, and bags;

she would be sighing over something, complaining that the

train made her head ache, that she had spent so much money... At the station she would continually be having to run for

boiling water, bread and butter... She wouldn't have dinner

because of its being too expensive...

"She would begrudge6 me every penny," he thought, with a glance at his wife. "The lottery ticket is hers, not mine!

Besides, what is the use of her going abroad? What does she

want there? She would shut herself up in the hotel, and not let

me out of her sight... I know!"

And for the first time in his life his mind dwelt on the fact that

his wife had grown elderly and plain, and that she was

saturated through and through with the smell of cooking,

while he was still young, fresh, and healthy, and might well

have got married again.

to her, whether it is Naples or Klin. She would only be in my

way. I should be dependent upon her. I can fancy how, like a

regular woman, she will lock the money up as soon as she gets it... She will hide it from me... She will look after her relatives

and grudge me every penny."

Ivan Dmitritch thought of her relatives. All those wretched brothers and sisters and aunts and uncles would come

crawling about as soon as they heard of the winning ticket,

would begin whining like beggars, and fawning upon them

with oily, hypocritical smiles. Wretched, detestable people! If

they were given anything, they would ask for more; while if

they were refused, they would swear at them, slander them,

and wish them every kind of misfortune.

Ivan Dmitritch remembered his own relatives, and their faces, at which he had looked impartially in the past, struck him now as repulsive and hateful.

"They are such reptiles!" he thought.

And his wife's face, too, struck him as repulsive and hateful.

Anger surged up in his heart against her, and he thought

malignantly:

"She knows nothing about money, and so she is stingy. If she

won it she would give me a hundred roubles7, and put the rest

away under lock and key."

And he looked at his wife, not with a smile now, but with

hatred. She glanced at him too, and also with hatred and anger.

She had her own daydreams, her own plans, her own

reflections; she understood perfectly well what her husband's

dreams were. She knew who would be the first to try and grab

her winnings.

"It's very nice making daydreams at other people's expense!"

is what her eyes expressed. "No, don't you dare!"

Her husband understood her look; hatred began stirring again

in his breast, and in order to annoy his wife he glanced

quickly, to spite her at the fourth page on the newspaper and

read out triumphantly:

"Series 9,499, number 46! Not 26!"

Hatred and hope both disappeared at once, and it began immediately to seem to Ivan Dmitritch and his wife that their

rooms were dark and small and low-pitched, that the supper

they had been eating was not doing them good, but lying

heavy on their stomachs, that the evenings were long and

wearisome...

"What the devil's the meaning of it?" said Ivan Dmitritch,

beginning to be ill-humored. "Wherever one steps there are

bits of paper under one's feet, crumbs, husks. The rooms are

never swept! One is simply forced to go out. Damnation take

my soul entirely! I shall go and hang myself on the first aspen-

tree!"
