Charlie is asleep in the other room, but he wakens to the sound of his mother shrieking.
He has learned to sleep through quarrels—they are an everyday occurrence in his house.
But tonight there is something terribly wrong in that hysteria.
He shrinks back into the pillow and listens. "I can't help it! He's got to go!
We've got her to think about. I won't have her come home from school crying every day like this because the children tease her.
We can't destroy her chance for a normal life because of him."
"What do you want to do? Turn him out into the street?"
"Put him away. Send him to the Warren State Home." "Let's talk it over in the morning."
"No. All you do is talk, talk, and you don't do anything. I don't want him here another day. Now—tonight."
"Don't be foolish, Rose. It's too late to do anything... tonight. You're shouting so loud everyone will hear you."
"I don't care. He goes out tonight. I can't stand looking at him any more."
"You're being impossible, Rose. What are you doing?" "I warn you. Get him out of here."
