Show 117 Jon anyway besides not wanting him there and having to feel grateful he was. "Jon's not feeling well," said Bush. "I want to go to Stanley's," said Jon. "He thinks we're trying to poison him," said Neda. "Neda," said Helen. "Neda," said Bush. "Who told you?" said Jon. Joseph plugged his good ear. "I can hear you from here," said Neda. "Red will take you home when we're done eating," said Helen. Red's chest lurched. "I want to go to Satnley's," said Jon. "Stanley doesn't want you," said Neda. "That's why you're here." Neda x was fat and disgusting and sick and clear as a bell. "Stanley wants us," said Jon. "Right Bush?" "In his own way," said Bush "Stanley wants you like he wants a hole in the head," said Neda. "Stanley could use a hole in the head maybe," said Bush. That's when Edju and Aunt Elizabeth came in the door- "Oh hello, so very hello," said Edju. "Don't get up," said Aunt Elizabeth. "Sit down," said Helen, getting up, "and have something to Ja eat." Both Red and Neda scoured the table with their eyes. It wasn't like there was a ton of food. "Oh no," said Edju. "We're so urn very urn so very full, ooh." "We just had plenty to eat at gixXKxixxxxxairitxxxxixlixxxaaixx Stanley's," said Aunt Elizabeth. Neda chortled like the witch in Saaxxx^xx Snow White, her poetic sensibilities obviously aroused. Red's eyes stopped roving the table and he relaxed for about two seconds until he realized how xxxaxiaa he'd been manipulted and insulted once again. Helen had her hands on her head like she was trying to hold it on. Bush shrugged and put her hands in the air. Jon catapulted xa from his chair and grabbed Edju by the lapels. "Take us to Stanley's, Edju. Mother and I are in trouble here. I can't tell you how much." No^ Red ^^d-uiL^x "I've about had enough of this," he said. |
