The Cybil War
The Cybil War
“Tony had forgotten the insult of being cast as a dill pickle, and he was telling Simon that today was his sister’s birthday and he couldn’t go home until five o’clock. He began imitating his sister. He could do this perfectly.
“Tony spoils eeeeeeverything. He spies on us and he copies what we say. I don’t even want to have a paaaaaarty if Tony’s going to be here. He spoils eeeeeeverything.”
He was warming to the imitation when Harriet Haywood came up. “Cybil wants to know if you’re mad at her,”... Harriet said to Simon.
Simon raised his head from the drinking fountain. Before he could answer, Tony asked, “What would he be mad at Ackerman for? What’d she do?”
“You know,” Harriet said, “for taking his part in the play, for getting to be Ms. Indigestion.”
“Oh, that.” Tony was plainly disappointed.
“Well, is he mad?”
Simon stood to the side, hand still on the water fountain, watching Harriet and Tony Angotti. He felt like a patient being discussed by a doctor and nurse.MoreLess
