is committed to asustainable future for our business,our readersand our planet.This book is made from ForestStewardship Council\"cerihed paper.  \nThe neighbors-there were in all six white people wholived at Sego Desert Lake-told one another that oldHattie could no longer make it alone.The desert life,even with a forced-air furnace in the house and butanegas brought from town in a truck,was still too difficultfor her.There were women even older than Hattie in thecounty.Twenty miles away was Amy Walters,the goldminer's widow.She was a hardy old girl,more wiry andtough than Hattie.Every day of the year she took a bathin the icy lake.And Amy was crazy about money andknew how to manage it,as Hattie did not.Hattie wasnot exactly a drunkard,but she hit the bottle pretty hard,and now she was in trouble and there was a limit to thehelp she could expect from even the best of neighbors.  \nThey were fond of her,though.You couldn't helpbeing fond of Hattie.She was big and cheerful,puffy,comic,boastful,with a big round back and stiff,ratherlong legs.Before the century began she had graduatedfrom finishing school and studied the organ in Paris.But  \nSaul Bellow  \nnow she didn't know a note from a skillet.She had tan-trums when she played canasta.And all that remainedof her fine fair hair was frizzled along her forehead insmall gray curls.Her forehead was not much wrinkled,but the skin was bluish,the color of skim milk.Shewalked with long strides in spite of the heaviness of herhips.With her shoulders,she pushed on,round-backed,showing the flat rubber bottoms of her shoes  \nOnce a week,in the same cheerful,plugging butabsent way,she took off her short skirt and the dirty avia-tor's jacket with the wool collar and put on a girdle,adress,and high-heeled shoes.When she stood on theseheels her fat old body trembled.She wore a big brownRembrandt-like tam with a ten-cent-store brooch,eye-like,carefully centered.She drew a straight line withlipstick on her mouth,leaving part of the upper lip pale.At the wheel of her old turret-shaped car,she drove,seemingly methodical but speeding dangerously,acrossforty miles of mountainous desert to buy frozen meatpies and whiskey.She went to the Laundromat and thehairdresser,and then had lunch with two martinis at theArlington.Afterward she would often visit MarianNabot's Silvermine Hotel at Miller Street near skid rowand pass the rest of the day gossiping and drinking withher cronies,old divorcées like herself who had settled inthe West.Hattie
