Duncan hesitated. Surely he had not heard correctly.“A physician who knows me is here?” Gabriel made a strange hissing sound that propelled drops of saliva from his mouth. The braying of hounds broke the silence as he moved along the line. Four men on horseback rode along the end of the fields, escorted by the dogs. Gabriel stopped in front of Tanaqua.“Take off your shirt,” he ordered. The Mohawk glared at him but complied. “You damned bucks love killing Virginians. None of the others ever lifted a hand against them. But you arrive and now I have a dead one.” He snorted.‘D’ya hear yourself?’ The route over the sand has shortened since I was a kid. Back then it seemed endless. On a bumpy road, in a big cloud of dust, and Harpa frightened as could be, worrying about the possibility of a devastating glacial flood from Katla. I tried to spy escape routes for us. Where the closest refuge might benow. On the other side of Hj?rleifsh?f?i? On top of Mount Hafursey? On this trip over the sands there are serious difficulties — a mad sandstorm is a relief. To know what one should fear is so much easier than to fear everything and nothing, vaguely. The yellow delivery van slips toward us between the breast-shaped hills of Landbrotsh?lar. “What did he want, Mother?” Duncan asked. “After the driver had gone, your husband must have said to himself that both Mortimer’s and the driver’s disappearance would be noticed immediately. Didn’t he want you to report the matter after all?” While they debated, Watts leaned over to me and said,“How’s it been, being back?” Ing?lfur motions with his hammer toward the house. Sponer turned on the interior light and saw him leaning back heavily. His coat was undone and he was clutching his right side with both hands as though looking for something in his pocket. His head was slumped to one side and his mouth was half open. In the yard at Andey, air cushions expand beneath my shoes. I teeter, like the drugged woman I was on New Year’s Eve in the emergency room, with springs for legs. Sponer stood there, and after a few moments he heard the porter take a couple of steps down below on the staircase, obviously wanting to know whether Sponer was still there. Then it became quiet again, the porter was probably listening to what was going on above. The maid opened the door again. ‘Ahm.’ I checked my watch. ‘Why else would I be dead?’ There’s certainly an abundance of fragrant ointments here — Heavenly Violet’s a corny name, completely unsuitable in the shadowy luxury of a bathroom off the beaten path, but the smell of the ointment isn’t in harmony with its name. It’s terribly seductive, and I take no fewer than five minutes to smear it on, before putting on the biggest and reddest frott? bathrobe that I’ve ever seen, without a clue as to what sort of chieftain it’s intended for, because everyone in Hei?ur’s family is medium-sized. Around my head I wrap a matching towel, creating an enormous red turban, and goout. These people will just have to deal with it. He helped sit me up against the wall— ‘Jesus, your hands are freezing’ — and unbuttoned his jacket and draped it over my shoulders. It is the moments of kindness that stand out. Perhaps because there have been so few of them. I am not asking for sympathy. I am not asking for anything. I am just saying that it is the moments of kindness that stand out. It’s here, our picnic spot, I say to Hei?ur. Stop, stop. “What are you doing here, Officer Perry?” I asked. ‘Yeah,’ I said, getting up to allow two men in overalls to remove my chair and load it into the back of a truck. The rest of the bistro set had already been packed. I stood there watching the place being locked up. Checked my phone: no calls. Busy man..
