“When I was young,” Tanaqua said, “my grandmother told me there were invisible demons, old spirits who used to watch over what we humans do. That’s what you need, Duncan, an invisible demon.” The Mohawk stretched and laid back on his blanket. When we arrived at Joshua’s apartment, the photographer was already there, dragging a reclining chair from one side of the room to the other. “No?” “Debbie.” I could see no toddlers or children. There were a few babies in young women’s arms. Maybe one or two of them belonged to Theon. He’d once bragged to me that he’d fathered a child of every race on the planet. “Lords of the great Susquehanna and all the lands it touched. Now we have but a little slice of the Rappahannock,” the elder added, then shrugged. “To everything there is a season.” He spoke the words of Ecclesiastes with a meaningful glance at the young overseer beside him, who looked awayas if somehow shamed. Did you doze off, my little chick? I ask, thinking immediately that I shouldn’t have said something that might make her think of Gerti. ‘Builder,’ the kid said. I dropped the tablecloth on him. The men were wasting away. It was the only medical term that might describe them. Those with their shirts off showed ribs and long scars or more recent lash scabs on their shoulders. Their faces were gaunt, drained of strength. Some, apparently more recent arrivals, did not look as skeletal but wore the same blank, hopeless expression as the others. Hyanka, the fresh brand on his cheek, knelt at the end. Near him was a man with half an ear missing. Albert Sinclair of the Conococheague, Analie had reported, had half an ear taken by the Shawnee. Duncan kept count as he walked by them. Twenty-five. Another six had been captured with the nineteen from the north. “Perry,” I said to myself, imagining a road in front of me that broke off into so many pathways that it seemed like a fan. “A letter, though he knew not what it said.” “I have to go to a funeral and then... and then I’m gonna start a whole new life.” You always were such a good girl. I know, Edda. We both have a problem on our hands. The blood could be washed off, though one would have to explain away the damage. How though? Surely he’d find a way, provided the dead man and his luggage were disposed of, provided they simply weren’t there any more. As if they’d never existed, neither the man nor his cases. “A Mr So-and-so?”—“No record of him here.”—“He travelled to Vienna?”—“Definitely not.”—“And he didn’t check in?”—“He didn’t check in anywhere.”—“Did he check out at the other end?”—“Yes, but didn’t arrive here.”—“When did he leave?”—“Tuesday.”—“Really? Time of arrival?”—“Eighteen thirty-five… at the Westbahnhof.”—“Yes, he should have been on that train, but the fact is he wasn’t…”—“What?”—“The drivers?”—“Yes, one of them… Yes, the porter said that… Yes, to the Bristol.”—“But that must’ve been someone else. Nobody by that name had checked in at the hotel…”—“What do you mean, nobody had checked in?…”—“He must’ve though, but…”—“What was the driver’s name?”—“Ferdinand Sponer.”—“I beg your pardon?”—“Yes, of course.”—“Yes, sir, certainly. We’ll bring him in for questioning.” Better than whatyou’re like, says Edda, with a provocative laugh. Were you allowed to eat as many grapes as you liked off the vines?.
