Excerpt from As the Goose Flies But Ellen was not thinking of any of these things. She was thinking of the story that her grandmother had for gotten again. Ellen's grandmother was very Old; so old that she Often called Ellen by the names of her own little children; children who had grown up or died years and years ago. She was so Old she could remember things that had hap pened seventy years before, but then she forgot a great many things, even things that had occurred only a few minutes before. Sometimes she forgot where her Spectacles were when they were pushed back on her head. Most of all she forgot the stories she tried to tell Ellen. She would just get to a very interesting place, and then she would push her Spectacles up on her forehead and look vaguely about her. I forget what came next, she would say.
