P142.L03

مادرزنم با صورت برافروخته، با صورتی که در موقع اوقات تلخی زنم حالا می‌بینم که رنگ لبش می‌پرد و چشمهایش گرد و وحشت‌زده می‌شود، دست مرا می‌کشید از میان مردم رد می‌کرد و به میرغضب که لباس سرخ پوشیده بود نشان می‌داد و می‌گفت: «این هم دار بزنید».

My mother-in-law, with an inflamed face—with the face I now see when my wife is in a bad temper, when the color drains from her lips and her eyes become round and terrified—was pulling my hand, leading me through the crowd, pointing me out to the executioner, who wore red clothes, and saying: “Hang this one too.”
