她的頭發(fā)并未全白，只有五十多歲，實(shí)際還是中年--這一點(diǎn)，她自己也清楚。她平日的行為舉止，遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)看不出實(shí)際年齡--無(wú)論從哪方面都看不出。她象過(guò)去一樣能干--忙家務(wù),在花園里種花、除草，開(kāi)著拖拉機(jī)幫助干農(nóng)活--盡管有些事情她做起來(lái)不如以前那樣利索。她的兒子蒂姆兩三年前就建議她不必(bùbì)再開(kāi)拖拉機(jī)了。不過(guò)那是因?yàn)榇_實(shí)沒(méi)有必要，而不是因?yàn)樗狭?。那她為什么?huì)突然覺(jué)得自己老了呢？

史蒂夫——多蘿西的丈夫——十年前去世(qùshì)了，那時(shí)蒂姆年僅二十歲。蒂姆中斷了大學(xué)的農(nóng)學(xué)課程，回到農(nóng)場(chǎng)干活。他象特洛伊人一樣辛苦地工作，歸還父親欠下的債務(wù)。最初多蘿西和他一塊干，一直干到他能完全上手；于是，她就逐漸把更多的農(nóng)活交給蒂姆做，自己專心伺弄花園，種些花草，操持家務(wù)。
