dry gardenias, the remains of some ancient corsage, were attached to it, and old valentines, newspaper recipes, and snapshots of her baby nephew and of Susan Kidwell and of Bobby Rupp, Bobby caught in a dozen actions-swinging a bat, dribbling a basketball, driving a tractor, wading, in bathing trunks, at the edge of McKinney Lake (which was as far as he dared go, for he had never learned to swim).
han zeuden itsatsita gardenia idortuak, aspaldiko sortaren baten hondarrak, valentine zaharrak, egunkarietako errezetak, bere ilobatxoaren argazkiak eta Susan Kidwell eta Bobby Ruppenak, Bobby dozena bat ekintzatan hartua: beisbol bate bati eragiten, saskibaloiko baloi batekin iskintxo egiten, traktore bat gidatzen, uretan gerriraino sartuta bainu galtza handiekin Mackinney lakuaren ertzean (aurrerago sartzera ez zen ausartzen, ez baitzekien igerian).
