Drag the boxes you’ve already checked out to the driveway. When passersby slow down, anticipating a sale, wave them pleasantly along. ‘I did a course,’ said Hickey, and presented the plans for outline planning permission across the table like a bunch of flowers, for he was in love with Ray Lawless, I realised then. ‘Larney?’ I said in amazement. ‘You’re still alive?’ I had to keep from blurting, gauging that he must be over a hundred by now, for Larney had been an old man when I was a boy, and a young man when Father was a boy, having served our family since he himself was a boy. I’m so surprised that I can’t emit as much as a peep. Edda’s planning trips abroad with her little mom. The child must have picked some magic mushrooms this morning. The father’s face suddenly lit up: A ghostly figure appeared in the light of the steeple. Bones dangled from the huge, angular, white body beneath a hideous, twisted face. It was an Iroquois spirit, or the closest effigy the rangers could manage in the short time they had to prepare. In the stable, the skull of a horse, found hanging on a peg at the back of the stable, had been adorned with horns of braided straw. Hung from a rope, it appeared to eerily hover over the lantern. ‘That’s funny, Tristram. You’re a funny man. Yeah.’ He nodded. ‘That’s what everyone’s been saying about you lately. He’s a bit funny, isn’t he, that fella? Something funny about him.’ Emily knew Jean had been a vegetarian since high school. She knew because she’d been the one to convince her, way back in her animal rights days. Apparently, Emily had given up vegetarianism herself in the years since, but Jean couldn’t figure out why Emily would invite her over for lunch without having anything she could eat. Jean took it personally, as if Emily were making a point. On what, she couldn’t say. She just knew that the point felt directed at her — chicken in the salad, bacon in the macaroni and cheese — and she considered faking a stomachache and calling home. Yes, you’re all wrapped up in superstitions. You’d have probably been burned at the stake in the old days. Within a day, all of the Emperor’s gentlemen have Shonagon’s response written on their fans. Shonagon becomes not only the confection of choice, but also a kind of legend at court. For her small witticism, her tiny act. But it’s along a web of such small elegances that Shonagon survives, since she is not beautiful, and not noble, and soon enough not young either. Every week she is more at risk of being sent away, and even her own intelligence, which is what saves her, also makes her vulnerable. She can’t stand the sight of her reflection, or the sight of other women in decline, and that revulsion also fuels her work. “I cannot stand a woman who wears sleeves of unequal width,” she says. And “When I make myself imagine what it is like to be one of those women who live at home… I am filled with scorn.” As a samurai’s judgment of a ronin makes psychological sense as someone catching sight of themselves in a lower state, Shonagon is never more rough than on figures who resemble her. In her list of “unsuitable things” she notes: “A woman who is well past her youth is pregnant and walks along panting.” Another passage describes a visit from a beggar nun who is asking for offerings from the altar — asking, basically, for food. Shonagon and the other court women are amused by the beggar nun, who dances and sings, but they are also repelled by her clothing and manners, which are repeatedly described as disgusting. The ladies prepare a package of food for the beggar nun, and then complain that she keeps coming around; we hear that the beggar’s voice is curiously refined; the fate of the beggar nun could easily be that of the women then at court, though this is never said. Instead, the beggar nun passage switches abruptly into a lengthy anecdote about all sorts of hopes and bets among the court ladies as to which mound of snow made in the castle courtyard will last the longest; none of the court ladies wins; Shonagon prepares a poem about the last of the snow; the empress has the snow swept away, ruining the game; Shonagon is more devastated by this than seems to make sense; but the empress has treated her court ladies in the same indulgent then indifferent way that the court ladies treated the beggar nun; Shonagon juxtaposes the scenes so that we see each person, even the empress, slipping in power, clinging to the tiny entertainments they can offer, their only currency. Taste culture helplessly tells another story. Kush wanted to thank Roxanne, but doing so would prove she was right about him. Instead he said,“Why should I care if Karinger kills Watts?” At this, I turned my head.‘Who told you that?’ It’s beautiful when there’s a full moon. Lubbi plods happily into the good garden, where he and Mom and Edda and I had seen better days. Isn’t that why one lives? To have seen better days. How old are you? “The housekeeper already ID’d him but I’m required to ask.” ‘Down there. Do you hear it? That vibration.’ He turned his head to follow the direction of my finger, but my question had thrown him into a paroxysm of confusion. ‘It’s not a riddle, Larney. It’s a simple question. Do you hear that noise?’.
