Julkalendern #19

"At christmas 1948 my aunt and I went down to visit my brother in Virginia, laden with presents. I had been writing to Dean and he said he was coming East again; and I told him if so he would find me in Testement, Virginia, between Christmas and New Year's. One day when all our Southern relatives were sitting around the parlour in Testament, gaunt men and women with the old Southern soil in their eyes, talking in low, whining voices about the weather, the crops, and the general weary recapitulation of who had a baby, who got a new house, and so on, a mud-spattered '49 Hudson drew up in front of the house on the dirt road. I had no idea who it was. A weary young fellow, muscular and ragged T-shirt, unshaven, redeyed, came to the porch and rang the bell. I opened the door and suddenly realized it was Dean."
