I considered lying and, in a flash, I understood the femme fatale of film noir and noir novels. They lied because it was easier than the truth, because they had been invited in for their charms and lies, because the truth always sounded so guilty when they were just trying to make it through the day— like everybody else. An expression of dismay swept across his face, a slapped child. I looked away and pressed on. I had no kindness to give him. There was no kindness in me that day. I was forced up out of the coffin of sleep, grasping my father’s pistol. She has a gold chain around her neck. That’s not like a Wild One. I told you it was true. The Wild Ones do exist. I was about to get up and go out to him when he raised his head. “Don’t you talk about my father, Theon Pinkney.” Mom, is Dad really my dad? MY THIRD EYE. MADE FROM THE SPIT OF MY DELINQUENT CHILD. O’Dee put his arms around me and clapped my back. ‘Welcome home, man,’ he said as sincerely as he was able, though no affection or camaraderie had ever existed between us. This display was strictly for the benefit of the others, to demonstrate that we went back, that there was history, that itwas kosher. ‘Jesus, Trist, I heard you were dead.’ M. Deauville rang at the moments when I felt weak, and there were no moments when I felt strong. He had to check in with me day and night. I could not be left to my own devices for long. When I felt I couldn’t cope a second longer and had reached for the hotel phone to dial room service to order up a drink, on cue, my mobile would ring. It was as if he could read my mind. It takes one to know one, I suppose. I’d put down one phone to answer the other, overcome with gratitude tinged with resentmentand the inevitable and apparently endless flood of shame. I sat down again. ‘You’re an arsehole is who ya are now.’ Madame de Ch?vign? was the first woman in the world to have saidmerde. The jumble of cows retreats when I stand up. I call it a touch of respect, something that hardly anyone else shows me. Hei?ur takes the basket from me and rushes ahead down the slope. It’s typical of her to want to lead the group, whether it consists of one or more. She waits for me on the other side of the fence to help me cross over accident-free, and for a moment the consideration shown by this impatient person makes me feel so small and weak that a little tear slips out into the world. I watched him pour a triple shot into a squat glass. He seemed to be quivering a little. But not to fear! From here on out.
