Marguerite Entertained a Feeling
clearly jacked around- a feeling of ennui
- sitting passively while her mother combed her hair
- Rabbis singing
- a minor avalanche
Marguerite entertained a feeling of ennui, even sitting passively while her mother combed her hair. In the hallway she heard Rabbis singing, their stentorian chant releasing a minor avalanche of Gentile spiders fleeing the resounding Yiddish. The apartment in the synagogue had cheap rent, but the landlord clearly jacked around Marguerite’s impressionable mother.
