Act II, Part 2 Summary

Arty writes to his father, describing the many “really, really bad” things that have happened and asking Eddie to return (104). Jay and Arty discuss Bella, who disappeared after the disastrous dinner two days earlier. Aunt Gert reveals that Bella is staying with her but asks that the boys keep this a secret from Grandma. For the past two days, she explains, Bella has done nothing but cry. Bella still plans to meet with Johnny and discuss their wedding. The boys notice that Aunt Gert struggles to talk and ask whether they should fetch a doctor. Aunt Gert tells them the issue is only a concern when she returns to her childhood home. She gives them her telephone number and leaves.

Grandma enters the living room. She suggests that Arty and Jay go out for a walk. Jay shares that Eddie’s health has improved and that he will return in eight months. The boys promise to visit their grandmother after they leave. Grandma suggests that she may not be around when they visit because she might sell the candy store. She sends them away, insisting that she can care for herself.
