Henry Law
It was easy to forget they're not like us.
You could be looking at Miss Ada and talking to her simply, and then she'd say something like
Take into account the evenings are getting long, Mr. Law.
Her father too. We'd be talking easily enough and then all of a sudden I'd remember he knew my pop and all my uncles from the day they were born till the day they died.
I suppose it was easy to forget because they made it easy. They had to, to get by.
