In another corner of the room behide a screen was a gas plate and an icebox. Mrs.Jones got up and went behide the screen.The woman did not watch the boy to see if he was going to run now,nor did she watch her purse,which she left behind her on the day bed.But the boy took care to sit on the far side of the room, away from the purse,where he thought she could easily see him out of the corner of her eye if she wanted to.He did not trust the woman to trust him.And he did not trust the woman not to trust him.And he did not want to be mistrusted now.
