Rose appears in the doorway of her bedroom, adjusting the half-veil of her hat.
She is a birdlike woman, and her arms—up to her head, elbows out —look like wings.
"We're going to the doctor who is going to help you get smart."
The veil makes it look as if she were peering down at him through a wire screen.
He is always frightened when they dress up to go out this way,
because he knows he will have to meet other people and his mother will become upset and angry.
He wants to run, but there is no place for him to go.
"Why do you have to tell him that?" said Matt. "Because it's the truth. Dr. Guarino can help him."
Matt paces the floor like a man who has given up hope but will make one last attempt to reason.
"How do you know? What do you know about this man?
If there was anything that could be done, the doctors would have told us long ago."
"Don't say that," she screeches. "Don't tell me there's nothing they can do."
