Read this passage
soon after dinner, his father would go to sleep in his chair,
his mother and sister would urge each other to be quiet;
his mother, bent deeply under the lamp, would sew fancy
underwear for a fashion shop; his sister, who had taken a
sales job, learned shorthand and french in the evenings so
that she might be able to get a better position later on.
