The dress was designed for a woman younger than her fifty-something years but she probably looked better in it than she would in more age-appropriate garb. Oh, yes there was. You’ve seen him since. I told myself over and over again that I accepted the things that I could not change, but I didn’t, and I couldn’t, and I wouldn’t, but I had to. ‘Ring,’ I urged my phone, holding it out like a compass to guide me, clenching it so hard that the casing creaked. My mind howled with the need to speak to M. Deauville. Perhaps it was a test. If so, I was failing. When I came to the Deep Ditch, over which there was no plank, I stood for a while on the bank, gathering my courage to muck through it. When I finally did, my feet got all wet and muddy, and I scraped my knees as I groped my way up the opposite bank. “Old Jaho’s been here since long before any of us arrived,” Larkin explained. “Crazy old bird. Sits for hours at night spouting that mumbo jumbo. Said once he had been here for all of time. Says that going into his little tent is taboo, that it would bring a curse on any European who tries.” The northern ranger shrugged. “But when in his right senses he can explain the environs right well, even tells stories of days long past that have the ring of truth.” I was surprised to realize that tone had come from Marcia Pinkney. She opens her right hand to reveal an Egyptian beetle, my lost scarab. Over the years I read Tolstoy and Tennyson, Mary Higgins Clark and John Updike, Roger Zelazny and Octavia Butler in the early, early hours of the morning. I didn’t finish as many books as some because I usually put down a story I didn’t like and reread, many times over, those that I enjoyed. There were none. I was curious to know why he’d gone, and he said he’d gotten lost. “We tried to farm up north of Albany for a couple years, in the Saratoga country. I miss the Mohawk. Fine, stately men and women with hearts as big as the sky. I always felt safer when Iroquois were around. They shared their squash and maize that first year when our crop failed.” The older girlbrought a bucket from the well. As Duncan washed, her mother spoke a warning. “This is not your fight, Mr. McCallum,” she said. “Get on with y’er journey when you finish y’er bowls.” I wasn’t expecting Lew to help me but I had to ask — not for Theon but for myself. Nothing turns to dust faster than a dead sex worker. When I died no one would lift a finger to lay me to rest. At least I could try. Hickey drank in silence as there was nothing left to say. The mood had turned sour on the journey over in the truck. I was attending the meeting on M. Deauville’s wishes and against my better judgement, and I was adamant that Hickey should know it. I tackled the matter from various angles to drive home my point. ‘Get down off the cross,’ he said after five miles of this. We hadn’t exchanged a word since. “Sixty-two Prinz-Eugen-Strasse,” she said without turning, and, snapping her handbag shut, stuck it under her arm and got into the cab. “Because I, your husband, forbid you!”.
