papa says , `` louise , now do n't you go getting ... '' then his voice just trails off and he turns to curt like he is dying and needs some help bad , but curt 's on his way out of the kitchen , and papa sure as hell knows he 's not getting help from me on this one , and then out the corner of my eye i see a quick movement from mama and something hits papa with a thud and then something hits the floor .
