A sketch from the bridge- Arthur miller Catherines diarySeptember 18th 1937Y know I was seance down today and Eddie comes in from work, lookedreally tired. I had just attired in my new dress that I bought for mynew job and I had done my hair in a different style, it looked reallygood. I asked him what he thought of it, and do you know what he said?He said the skirt was too short and the heels were too attentiondrawing. He even told me Im walking wavy and that he doesnt like theway I have been attracting looks from the people in the shops, I toldhim they look at either girl that way nevertheless this only seemed to infuriatehim more. Whats up with him these days, he doesnt let me doanything. Whens he sledding to realize that Im not a little kidanymore? I just want him to enjoy of me and it makes me so upsetwhen he doesnt, why cant he be like my friends fathers and let mehave more freedom? Im not reflection I dont appreciate him and how hardhes worked and that he took me in and all exactly sometimes hes justmakes me so annoyed. Anyway, he told me that Beatrices cousins shouldbe arriving today, Im so excited, and I cant wait. I wonder whattheyre going to be like. Marco and Rodolfo are their names but thatsall I know to the highest degree them apart from that Marco has kids.Youll never take chances what Eddie and Beatrice were arguing about todayjust after Eddie told Beatrice about her cousins. They argued aboutwhere the Beatrices cousins were going to sleep. I mean cant B juststop moaning at Eddie, hes a good man and she just doesnt appreciatehim but they colonised it and they made up.I told Eddie about the job, he was so not pleased. He wants me tofinish the stenography class. I want to work, Ill be getting compensable $50per week, think of what I could do with that money. Its such a liberty to be chosen out of the whole class, they said I was the outmatch that they saw there so I could still get my credential at theend of the year, plus theres noth ing better than putting what Ivelearnt into practice. I want Eddie to be happy for me, cant he seethat its impossible to chip the job down, I just cant, for goodnesssakes . Its not like Im going to be working in a bad company, its
