When Beauty finds her mother collapsed on the doorstep of their home, she runs to call her mother's friend, the teacher, who insists that Yesterday must go to the doctor. She gives Yesterday the money needed to take a taxi to the clinic, which will get her there early enough to see the doctor, and takes care of Beauty for the day.
The lady doctor who sees Yesterday asks her where she got her name from, and Yesterday explains that her father named her Yesterday because, "He said things were better yesterday than today." The doctor tells Yesterday that she is sick and that she probably got it from her husband, who is away working in a mine.
Yesterday understands that she will die from this disease, leaving her daughter alone. She makes a plan to travel to the mine where her husband, John, works to tell him the news and to tell him that he also is sick. He reacts to this news very badly and beats her, while his supervisor looks in and then looks away.
Yesterday goes home and tries to continue living her life as best she can. She asks her teacher friend to take care of Beauty when she dies. A few months later John comes home to her. He is very ill from AIDS related illnesses and begs Yesterday's forgiveness for blaming her and for beating her for telling him the truth.
