Put The Jilting of Granny Weatherall back in order

Seven beats from our edition of The Jilting of Granny Weatherall by Katherine Anne Porter, shuffled. Drag them, or use the arrows, until the story runs straight. No account, no streak to lose.

  1. Refusing to be sick Granny Weatherall scolds Doctor Harry and insists she is fine as he examines her.
  2. Cornelia’s care She resents her daughter Cornelia’s attention and suspects the family of whispering about her.
  3. A life of work She recalls raising her children and working the farm largely on her own after her husband John died young.
  4. George never came A buried memory rises: sixty years ago, dressed for her wedding, she waited for a man named George who never came.
  5. Calling for Hapsy Past and present blur as she longs for her daughter Hapsy and pictures her holding a baby.
  6. Father Connolly Cornelia weeps, the priest arrives, and Granny realizes she is dying and is not ready.
  7. No sign She begs God for a sign, feels jilted a second time, and blows out the light.
