She was short, but more muscular, more solid than she had appeared from three floors up. A cheap-looking grey trouser suit and some fake pearls were conspiring to make her older than she was. The buttons on the jacket looked like rusty spare change.” P9]]> 2021-12-07 12:02:26 UTC https://padlet.com/sandrahernandezarias/p2a/wish/1933314682 Actions sandrahernandezarias https://padlet.com/sandrahernandezarias/p2a/wish/1933316551 "Martha wound down the window that Pam had just closed and Pam felt she might just scream if the girl kept letting the outside in everywhere they went."

Pam, who was in the middle of forcing her arm though a recalcitrant coat sleeve, stopped in her position like a scarecrow, ‘Well, of course there are students of color, dear! I see them all the time—I mean, even before the affirmative action and all of that—I mean, there's always been the basketball scholarships and the rest—though it's much, much better now of course. They're completely here on their own steam now. Lots of Chinese young people too, and Indian, many. Many! Oh, there's plenty, plenty of people of color here, you'll see,’ said Pam and switched off her desk lamp."

She seemed calmly framed by them and remote, a figure in a plastic snowstorm.

93 Don't give up on what we've got
94 Cos Ben and Jamal love U a lot!
