Narrator described how she lived with a Cordelia. After her
retirement, her boy friend James brought a small terrier to her to her
apartment in Paris. She did not like dog, but her boy friend said that a small
dog – it makes you a fool. She has sons, who are grown and have children of
their own. They do not like James. her sons are serious men but James is not. Her suns father name is Simone. They divorced
and Simone accepts James which is in some ways remarkable thing. James and her
suns age are almost same. James wanted to trip to abroad more and more. Most of
her time spends with Cordelia with Desi. Desi is her servant. Narrator has
money and experiences. When she was very young, she found the first boy she
loved, then came the war, he was arrested at the end of the war, when the
Germans were in a panic ,and they left him prison with no food. She discovered
him again, in a nightclub after the war. He was still handsome. But he had the tuberculose
from prison. One night, boy and I were eating dinner, when he began to cough,
coughing did not stop, there was blood on napkin, and his face was purple
around the eyes, and died. She never forget this horrible event.
Cordelia’s Dr. the
vet called Cordelia is Madame Lazarus. it means restored to life. When Cordelia
fainted on the street, narrator tried to make Cordelia breathing, at that
moment she thought she didn’t do nothing when her first lover was dying. She regret
that moment.
Cordelia was so old, Eventually the doctor made Cordelia
sleep forever. And narrator wanted to grab Desi at the last. She think there is
not so much time.
