Quote: “My ears were itching and I wanted to go home suddenly. This was all very well but she couldn’t just comb her hair, wash her face and pretend everything was hunky-dory. After the Howard Johnson’s snub. And no apology. Nothing.”
I understand now that Twyla was saying that after the incident were Roberta was very rude to her, she couldn’t just pretend that it never happened and everything was okay now.
