through the door into the living room elliott could see the back of his father's hea , thesilver hair shaking when he disgree with the umpire or got exited about a play .5 the orange leafed trees outside their picture window , and the fact that his college team waswinning , made pop forget about the MS , sometimes he did get depressed , though . then he'd say things like ."el , you'll be on your own someday ."
but most of the time pop seemed to feel fine . heran the house from his wheelchair , he and gloria the sexy housekeeper .
someday pop would be in trouble elliott wassaying up for that , to make sure he'd have the best care .
four - thirteen ,"get 'im ! " pop said ," did you see that . EL! "
THEY STILLL LIVED IN THE BRICK HOUSE HE'D BEEN BORN IN . for many years , poop had ferried back and fort from seatle , where he was a professor of linguistics at the university . he was also a sanskirt scholar .even now , those two words sent a shiver of excitement through elliott . his father knew things nobody else knew ,about ancient magical words .
popp had seemed like the smartest man in the world when elliott was akid . most nightsafter supper , betteen six and seven , they'd go into the den and shut the door . his father would pull down a volume of the encyclopaedia britannica from the shelf , and they would read an article together . they worked in alphabetical order , sio one night it would be electomagnetism , and the next , elephants .
then elliott would finish his homework , which hardly took any time , because he was a bright one , so opop said . he told elliott about sanskiort . linguistics wasn't about languages , it was about logic .
