Summary

They Can’t Take That Away from Me

Eva writes that Danny took Clara’s leaving badly. When he told Eva, in tears, that Clara never really loved Poppa or him, Eva writes that she smacked him across the mouth for having said such an ugly thing. Eva writes that she feels terrible that she did it. She sent him to his room while she cleaned up the kitchen. Later, she’d apologized to him and now, later, writes that of all of the people that the poor boy could have ended up with, she’s the worst, and ill equipped to raise a kid. She and Danny both agree that they hate Iris, completely. At least Poppa died and Clara remarried and moved away. At least Clara and Ozzie stayed for Edgar’s funeral. Iris never even acknowledged his passing.
