Lilly Etta didn't know the men, but she knew those yellow chairs. They
were Tanya's, and they were being taken out of her building. Tanya was
being put out - Tanya, her mother, her six brothers and sisters. Their
things would be piled on the sidewalk and left there to be had for the
taking. It didn't matter if nobody else in the city cared; Lilly Etta
did. She knew what friendship was, and she wasn't going to let her
friend be thrown out without a fight.
