In today's mail, there was an envelope addressed to Jimmy's mother, but it had been sent to our house on Trotter's Way. This has happened before, and I tossed it on the kitchen counter, thinking that I'd take it by to Mrs. Dewar later on. As I did, I noticed a familiar return address on the back, and it dawned on me that it was my letter after all, so I opened it: I was right. It was from my old sorority on Milledge Avenue in Athens, soliciting contributions.
Sometimes I forget that my first name is Dorothy, so that makes me a Dorothy Dewar too, just like Jimmy's mother. And that makes Jimmy and me another James and Dorothy Dewar, just like his parents.
