Now, it's Angela.
She lied down one day and never got up to smoke her Woodbines. She moans and says lemonade. Frankie didn't know how to get her her lemonade because they don't have money; they don't even have coal for the fire. So, Frankie goes out and plans to ask Mrs. O'Connell if she can loan him a bottle of lemonade because his mother is sick and would pay them as soon as his mother gets the dole.
But, Frankie didn't have the courage to ask. He saw the delivery truck of lemonades and saw Mrs. O'Connell having tea and bread and Frankie thought this isn't a great time to ask her. So, he figured out a way to get more than a bottle of lemonade and a loaf of bread for him and his brothers.
Since Angela couldn't get up in the morning to wake them up, Frankie and his brothers started to miss school. This went on until the officer from the school goes to their home and discovered what was wrong. He immediately asked Frankie to go to her grandmother, who, later on, went to get a doctor.
Angela has pneumonia and was brought to the hospital.
However, the kids got to stay at their Aunt Aggie's until Angela gets out.
