sure I moved Illinois. My sister and I wrote each other once a year. If that in neither of us like to talk long distance, we were happier apart. I could never see Julie or hear her voice without becoming its some point then or later. Aware of our drab and banal defeat, I had married an ungenerous woman, Julia, Big, good looking fool. I'd started out to be a surgeon and ended up a druggist. And Julie, who had too much beauty and arrogance and wit for any single ambition, never even left home. She had planned to be a world rover, an artist if she had the talent and adventurous if she didn't, and in the end, she never literally never lived in anywhere but in the house where she was born. No matter what we talked about, all we really said was, Here we are. This is how we turned out. And she never offered us the comfort of a shrug, the summing up and laying to rest, if a sigh. She never accepted it or even complained, which would have been at least a kind of acceptance. Seeing her always produced a delayed disturbance in me an obscure panic. She depresses you observe my wife, who thought Julie cold, uncritical and chose to believe that I not. She was jealous of Julie's money, her business acumen. This was absurd, but so was the truth. Julie always made me feel the time and not quite run out for us, and that I only had to do some simple, obvious thing and everything would be all right.
