We went with Mr. Shimerda back to the dugout, where
grandmother was waiting for me. Before I got into the
wagon, he took a book out of his pocket, opened it,
and showed me a page with two alphabets, one
English and the other Bohemian. He placed this book
in my grandmother's hands, looked at her entreatingly,
and said, with an earnestness which I shall never
forget, "Te-e-ach, te-e-ach my Antonia!"
