Found in the Street
“In October, he received a telegram saying that his mother had died of a heart attack and that his “services were needed.” He was to communicate with “undersigned Mabel Haskins,” who had sent her telephone number. Ralph recognized her name, had even met her, he thought. She was his mother’s closest neighbor and best friend in the last years. So Ralph telephoned and learned that his mother had lain nearly twenty-four hours on the floor of her living-room before she was discovered by Mabel and the... house superintendent who had a key. Ralph should come at once, if he wished to attend the funeral.
Ralph didn’t want to attend the funeral, but he notified the Midtown garage of his sudden call of duty, and went to New Hampshire, only to find that his mother had been buried six hours before. The coroner came especially to see him at his mother’s apartment. Her funeral arrangements had been taken care of according to her insurance and health policies. The funeral had been done nicely, said Mabel Haskins, who was with Ralph when the coroner arrived.MoreLess
