  8. Friday, 10:40 PM   Dear Friend,   A lady should never get this dirty, she said.   She stood there with a quiet, proud dignity. She was incomparably dirty -- her face and hands smeared, her clothes torn and soiled. The lady was 11.   My brothers are hungry, she said. The two little boys she hugged protectively were 8 and 9. They were three of the most beautiful children I’d ever seen.   Our parents beat us a lot, she said. We had to leave. The boys nodded mutely. We had to leave, one of them echoed. The children did not cry. I struggled to manage part of a smile. It didn’t come off very well. The littlest kid looked back at me, with a quick, dubious grin. I gave him a surreptitious hug. I was all choked up.   I would like to take a shower, the lady said.   Seventeen years ago, I did not know that there were thousands of runaway, abused and abandoned children like these in this country.   I learned the hard way.
