Maggie's Dad (1995)
“Maggie didn’t answer a single question on it. As usual, she sat with her arms folded and smiled haughtily at Antonia. When Antonia stopped beside her desk and asked if she wasn’t going to try to answer any of the questions, things came to a head.
“I don’t have to,” she told Antonia. “You can’t make me, either.”
Antonia promptly took Maggie to the principal’s office and decided to let Powell carry through with his threat to get her fired. It no longer mattered very much. She was tired of the mem...ories and the future, and she was no closer to an answer about her own dilemma. Part of her wanted to take the chance that drastic therapy might save her. Another part was scared to death of it.
“I’m sorry,” she said when Mrs. Jameson came out into the waiting room, “but Maggie refuses to do the test I’m giving the class. I thought perhaps if you explained the seriousness of the situation to her…”
This was Maggie’s best chance, and she took it at once. “She hates me!”MoreLess
