[a]nd when joy had to be impressed for these services, her remarks were usually so ugly and her face so glum that mrs. hopewell would say, “if you can’t come pleasantly, i don’t want you at all,” to which the girl, standing square and rigid-shouldered with her neck thrust slightly forward would reply. . she saw it as the name of her highest creative act. one of her major triumphs was that her mother had not been able to turn her dust into joy, but the greater one was that she had been able to turn it herself into hulga.
