the kids get out and dry off. ‘It saysUnknown. Is that him?’ A chance not to have to spend my entire life tending sick people for shitty pay. Theon had that book as a kind of counterbalance to my ever-changing library, but it was more than that. Theon saw himself as some kind of working royalty. He was king of the fuck flicks in the old days when he made a movie every week. Even after his star waned and he began living off my money and fame he acted as if everything centered around him. The historical work was a kind of talisman for his ego. ‘I was troubled, Dessie. I wasn’t myself.’ The forest looked more than ever like a jungle when we emerged some time later from our dell. Edel took the path that forked up the hill and I took the one winding down, but instead of going home I stood watching her ascend through the rhododendrons, the little bow knotted at her nape, a butterfly that had alighted on her neck. I had tied that bow myself. No trail of footprints betrayed our bower. There was no sign that we had been there at all. I was not sure whether I could even find my way back to that place again, and at the same time, by the same token, I’m not sure I ever found my way out of it. I’m still there, or part of me is, my choked morsel of a heart. But you’re so used to it. The events were familiar in my mouth. The only difference with Anna Karin is that I told her everything. The woman stroked her chin, rubbing flour into her cocoa-colored skin.“Titus!” she called. “Here your siblings were given vanilla names and you got something special, a name that one out of ten million don’t get. You might be the only Rash Vineland in the whole world.

Now, however, they were disappointed to find only Sponer’s meagre savings. The stocky one threw the envelope on the table. Equally, and oppositely, I did not expect to find M. Deauville’s brass plaque, his tarnished calling card, still on display by the front door, but then, who was left to remove it? Not a soul. The castle was gaunt and deserted. They say it has a ghost now. I would like to join him. At times I think I already have. Oh Jesus, I can’t, I’m stuck. Once outside he hurried to the cover of the nearest tree, by the road that separated the fields from the vast swamp that bordered the plantation’s eastern side. He thought the old man would have headed toward the hills and began stealing from tree to tree in that direction, but after a few steps he halted, then followed a low murmuring sound toward the bank that sloped down to the swamp. It was a verse: It was the rarest of days, when the sun, as if stretching from its winter sleep, burst through the budding leaves to ignite the wildflowers with blazes of red, blue, and yellow. His smile grew as the miles fell away. He would be in Edentown for supper, back with Sarah Ramsey and his particular friend Conawago, elder of the Nipmuc tribe, whom he had not seen for nearly a month.
