In a little district west of Washington Square, a colony of artists settled,

程度の副詞

attracted by low rents in the buildings abandoned by the companies so prosperous until "the crash".

At the top of a squatty, three- story brick, Sue and Johnsy had their studio.

They had met in May and enjoyed each other's company so much that the joint studio resulted.

In November a cold, unseen stranger, whom the doctors called Pneumonia, stalked about

the colony, touching one here and there with his icy fingers.

Johnsy, he smote. Her thin blood was no match for Mr. Pneumonia.

Sue was beside herself with worry, and the only shoulder to cry upon was that of Old Behrman -

a painter who lived on the ground floor below them.

He had wielded the brush for forty years,

always about to paint a masterpiece, but had never yet begun it.

He drank to excess, and regarded himself as a guard dog of sorts,

to protect the two young women in the studio above.

Good afternoon, Mr. Behrman. Any luck with your paintings today?

Nothing today. Here, let me help you with your groceries.

Thank you, but I think you've got your hands full enough.

I shlep all this down to Washington Square, and for what?

Ah! Mr. Behrman, this is beautiful. Is it new?

Ja, ja, ja, I paint it today. I could have sold it too. For twenty dollars.

Ach! No, no, no! It's not for a woman like that!

She only wanted to buy the painting because it matched the color of her sofa!  Hmmph! Ein Yuchna!

Twenty dollars? You want money, be a banker. You want misery, be a painter like me.

She seems to be getting worse... The doctor is on his way.

Oh, such a foolish girl! Painting out in the cold like that for hours -

Uhh, I'm sorry,- I mean - She's such a sweet young thing.

And such a talent - a gift - for painting, I should have.

Listen. You tell her I will make a prayer for her. Ja?

She has one chance in... let us say, ten. And that chance is for her to want to live.

This way people have of lining-up on the side of the undertaker makes the entire pharmacopeia look silly.

Your little lady has made up her mind that she's not going to get well.

She... she wanted to paint the Bay of Naples some day.

Paint! Bosh! Has she anything on her mind worth giving a second thought to?

I will do all that science, in as far as it's filtered through my efforts, can accomplish, but

when a my patient of mine begins to count the carriages in her funeral procession

I must subtract fifty percent from the curative power of medicine.

If you can get her to ask just one question about the new winter styles in overcoats,

I will promise you a one-in-five chance for her, instead of a one-in-ten.

Did I tell you I saw old Mr. Behrman on my way back from the market?

A new one. Oh, you should see it. It's wonderful.

You shouldn't have bothered. I really don't want any soup.

Oh, Johnsie, you have to eat something. You need your energy.

I'll just leave it here next to you. Try to have a little at least.

They're falling faster now. Three days ago there were almost a hundred.

It made my head ache to count them. But now it's easy.

There goes another one. There are only five left now.

I've known that for three days now. Didn't the doctor tell you?

I've never heard such nonsense! What have old ivy leaves to do with your getting well?

And you used to love that vine so. Don't be a goosey!

Why, the doctor told me that your chances for getting well real soon were...

Why, that's almost as good a chance as we have in New York when we ride the street cars or walk past a new building.

Try to take some soup now, and let Sudie go back to her drawing, so she can sell the editor man with it,

and buy port wine for her sick child, and pork chops for her greedy self.

I want to see the last one fall before it gets dark. Then I'll go, too.

- will you promise me to keep your eyes closed, and not look out the window until I am done working?

I must hand those drawings in by tomorrow.  I need the light, or I would draw the curtain.

I'd rather be here by you. Besides, I don't want you to keep looking at those silly ivy leaves.

Tell me as soon as you've finished. I want to see the last one fall.

I'm tired of waiting. I'm tired of thinking. I want to turn loose my hold of everything, and go sailing down.

Just like one of those poor, tired leaves.

I must call Mr. Behrman up to model for a new illustration.

I'll not be gone a minute. Don't try to move until I get back.
