00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.570 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:00:00.570 --> 00:00:03.720 align:middle line:84%
One more, just a
little short lines.

00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:06.300 align:middle line:90%
This one is called "Lesson."

00:00:06.300 --> 00:00:08.100 align:middle line:90%
Turn it off.

00:00:08.100 --> 00:00:10.830 align:middle line:90%
Three strokes.

00:00:10.830 --> 00:00:12.600 align:middle line:90%
"Lesson."

00:00:12.600 --> 00:00:17.760 align:middle line:84%
"Whenever my mother, who taught
small children forty years,

00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:22.620 align:middle line:84%
asked a question, she
already knew the answer.

00:00:22.620 --> 00:00:26.730 align:middle line:84%
"Would you like to"
meant you would.

00:00:26.730 --> 00:00:29.880 align:middle line:84%
"Shall we" was
another, and "don't you

00:00:29.880 --> 00:00:35.430 align:middle line:84%
think" as in "don't you think
it's time you cut your hair?"

00:00:35.430 --> 00:00:40.200 align:middle line:84%
So when, in the bare room,
in the strict bed, she said,

00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:41.910 align:middle line:90%
"you want to see?"

00:00:41.910 --> 00:00:46.590 align:middle line:84%
Her hands were busy at her
neckline, untying the robe,

00:00:46.590 --> 00:00:52.500 align:middle line:84%
not looking down at it, stitches
bristling where the breast had

00:00:52.500 --> 00:00:55.560 align:middle line:90%
been but straight at me.

00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:59.160 align:middle line:84%
I did what I always
did, not weep.

00:00:59.160 --> 00:01:01.050 align:middle line:90%
She never wept.

00:01:01.050 --> 00:01:05.129 align:middle line:84%
And made my face a
kindly whitewashed wall,

00:01:05.129 --> 00:01:11.480 align:middle line:84%
so she could write, again,
whatever she wanted there."
