    From the New York Times:

    There are only two things to say: Thank you, ma'am. Goodbye.

    I loved "Wrinkle" but can't remember much about it, as I read it more than 2 decades ago. Rest in Peace, Madeleine.

    "As the skipping rope hit the pavement, so did the ball. As the rope curved over the head of the jumping child, the child with the ball caught the ball. Down came the ropes. Down came the balls. Over and over again. Up. Down. All in rhythm. All identical. Like the houses. Like the paths. Like the flowers" (p. 103)
