TITANIC: A STORY TOLD
Chapter Seven

 

Lizzy was unpacking Rose's things in the small, utilitarian room. Rose was placing a number of framed photographs on the bureau, arranging them carefully next to the fishbowl. Brock and Bodine were in the doorway.

Brock spoke up. "Is your stateroom all right?"

Rose smiled. "Yes. Very nice. Have you met my granddaughter, Lizzy? She takes care of me."

Lizzy responded. "We met up on deck just as few minutes ago, Nana. Remember?"

Rose brushed her fingers against the top of her head. "Oh, yes."

Brock glanced at Bodine. Bodine rolled his eyes. Rose finished arranging her photographs--pictures of her children and grandchildren, her late husband.

"There, that's nice. I have to have my pictures when I travel."

"Would you like anything? Is there anything I can get you?" Brock asked.

Rose looked up at him. "Yes. I would like to see my drawing."
