One Eye Laughing, The Other Weeping - Plot & Excerpts
Pretty good, I think.I wish Sophy were here — then we could have fun making a list of all these good American words. I could write to her, but I don’t know where she is and she doesn’t know where I am. Uncle Martin is try-ing his best, I know, but so far we haven’t heard from anyone.I’m glad Sophy is not in Vienna. Uncle Martin said she will be safe in England.He showed me some of the photographs he devel-oped in the darkroom. The one of the couple didn’t come out very well, much to my surprise. But the one of the old lady who sat near us after they left was wonderful.In Uncle Martin’s photographs, people always come out looking elegant and dignified, no matter what they’re really like.The old lady was poor, and her fingernails were dirty and bitten down. She was wearing a soiled rain-coat, and boots that were falling apart. But in Uncle Martin’s photograph, she looks like an empress. SUNDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1938There are stories in the newspaper about Hitler and Czechoslovakia.
