Mrs. Bertha Flowers was the         of Black Stamps.She had the grace of          to appear warm in the         weather, and on the Arkansas summer days it seemed she had a          breeze which swirled around，        her.

    Her skin was a rich         that would have peeled like a         if snagged,but no one would have         of getting close enough to Mrs. Flowers to ruffle her dress, let alone          her skin. She didn't        familiarity. She         gloves too.

    She was one of the few         I have ever          ，and has         throughout my life the          of what a human being can be.

    She appealed to me because she was like people I had never          personally. Like          in English novels who walked the moors(whatever they were)with their loyal          racing at a respectful distance. Like the women who         in front of roaring fireplaces, drinking tea incessantly from silver traysee          of scones and crumpets. Women who         over the“heath”and read morocco-bound books and had two lasts names         by a hyphen. It         be safe to say that she made me         to be Negro,just by being herself.
