The Ballad of Sad Café

Miss Amelia is the richest woman in the

town. It is a town which is maybe just

alike as the one you will see from the

train’s window, being depicted in a kind of

tedious barren color and where people are

seen idle everywhere and gossip-like

rumors fly amidst. In quotation from the

passage, “a place that is far off and

estranged from all other places in the

world.” Miss Amelia is sometimes told in

those rumors due to her strangeness –

indeed, both wealth and eccentricity. Her

experience sounds quite ridiculous for her

arguing on some trifles and a queer

marriage which ends in just 10 days

between her and a man that ranks, in the

town, the first as the most handsome one

amongst boys. But one day, a seemingly

ordinary but crucial day, a hunchback

called Lymon Willis, entered Miss Amelia’s

store, and claimed kin to her. This intruder

should had been expelled, but to

everyone’s surprise, after the hunchback

suddenly sat on the bottom steps and

cried, Miss Amelia gave him a cup of

liquor and then led him into the premises.

People even thought that Miss Amelia

was doing this with an intention for money

-murder. To probe this line, I’ll quote

several sentences here:

“It is known that if a message is written with lemon juice on a clean sheet of paper there will be no sign of it. But if the paper  is held for a moment to the fire then the  letters turn brown and the meaning be - comes clear. Imagine that the whisky is the fire and that the message is that which is known only in the soul of a man.”

Still puzzled, right? But it is ok, when the

book is read, you’ll find a type of

character that is lacked of in Miss Amelia

in Lymon, a childlike instinct. This

character of Lymon makes him a talking

fish in the store with other guests – as he

has been in the town for years. A span of

romance began like a flame that was

kindled and would sure to be out of

control –unilaterally, still. And here the

writer, again, try to expound the entity of

love to us for firstly line explanations and

secondly disclosure of lovers’ minds. It

mainly says that people, generally, are

inclined to love rather than be loved

because the initiative lover would ask

everything from the other one and

eventually leave a deprived soul for him/

her. Miss Amelia found her destination in

Lymon, she spent almost all her money on

him. But one afternoon, that man, the one

who married Miss Amelia before, came

back from the jail. And Lymon fell in love

with him just at the first eye – an eerie but

affectionate contact. Then Lymon

escaped out of the town with this comely

but cruel man with all the cash and goods

in Miss Amelia’s store. As for Miss

Amelia, she finally, after several months,

locked herself in her premises with all the

window sealed and perish in silence, in

her or his (it should have been before) --

Sad Café.
