Now the balls have stopped spinning and the hands of the clock stand in place. Not a tick is heard in anything that measures time. What is audible is the rhythm of the sea, how it strikes the land, forward and back, always at the same pace, forever amen, until time comes to an end. Duncan lowered his fork.“Surely you made inquiries.” THE SANDS OF DROWNED SOULS. The sands that pummeled us today.It was today. Oh, that’s funny. The sands from a past life were today. “Atticus was a house slave here,” she said, “a favorite of my husband’s. We let him buy his freedom and he was still working here to buy that of his wife and child. Gabriel hated him for that, and for always talking with Jaho and the other Indian slaves. Six months ago Gabriel sold his wifeand child, and refused to say where they had gone. He banished Atticus from Galilee.” Help! I screamed as loudly as I could. “Moussorgsky …” Misia would say (the pout reappears). Bereft. That was the word he used. I remember thinking that Jude Lyon was one of the few people I knew who could put that word in a sentence without sounding pompous or awkward. Gerti Chicken’s sitting behind the wheel, and Teddi, Hreinn El?as, and Edda promptly disappear into the windowless backseat, Edda in the middle. The scene is reminiscent of a movie kidnapping. They even peel out. In the bathroom I peered into the mirror, half expecting to see white roots coming in at the baseline of my brown hair. Not a cloud is visible, though they could well be hidden behind the haze of the August sky. The last sky of the year by that name. I’m going to call it THE MISTY SKY OF UNCERTAINTY. He pointed to a blonde who was standing sentry inside the door. Svetlana stepped forward and held it open to welcome us into the Viking’s emporium. I noted Hickey noting this — the Viking’s hand command; the beautiful blonde leaping to his bidding. She was dressed in a fitted white shirt, black tie and black trousers. A long black apron was knotted around her waist. Hickey stared at her trim backside as she led us upstairs to the VIP area. He would have liked to have run a woman like that — five foot ten and slender as a runway model, her hair pinned up in a French twist. He would have liked instructing a woman like that to serve his friends. “Not like at Galilee, grandmother,” Duncan said. “Here lives are bought and sold as cheap as grains of barley. Men die for speaking ill of those in London they have never met, who do not even know they exist.” Duncan spun about to face Analie.“Nineteen men to be saved. What does that mean?” ‘In the old truck.’ FREE OF ALL CONCERNS. When I did not answer, M. Deauville repeated his question.‘Do you wish to die?’ “Maman is very ill. She thinks she’s at your house …” He scrunched up his face and concentrated. After thirty seconds or so he shook his head no. He’d have to be a consummate liar to have succeeded with an act like that. Most of the great women writers of the twentieth century who write or wrote in English were or are writing from England. Or from the English commonwealth. Not as much from America. Also most of the beloved mystery novels come from England. A woman I know, who writes mysteries nowadays, mysteries that are set in Saudi Arabia and often involve a female pathologist, told me, after she sold her first mystery book, that what excited her most was having sold the book to England, where they rarely buy mysteries by Americans, being so well stocked by their own. Why are the English so drawn to mysteries? I read somewhere once— with all the diagrams and tabulations organized like cavalry — that the rise of the mystery genre in England, particularly following the Industrial Revolution, coincided with increased anxiety about social mobility. The argument pointed out, among other things, that the villains in Holmes’sstories almost invariably came from the lower classes, that Moriarty (Holmes’s archnemesis) has an obviously Irish name, and that there’s something supremely comforting about pinpointing a single criminal, about being able to say of a sense of evil just generally around: Here it is, the source,we have found it. Along these lines it is also noticed that the golden age of detective novels in England followed World War I, and the golden age of detective novels in Japan followed World War II. Usually the arc of the novels was a homicide, or a short series of homicides. It makes emotional sense that, among the unmysterious deaths of millions of one’s countrymen, one might find it soothing to focus on a mysterious one or two. The theory may not quite hold water, but has at least a dense enough weave to keep in place a few oversized bouncy balls. Penelope Fitzgerald’s first novel,The Golden Child,was a murder mystery set in a museum, written to entertain her husband as he was dying. Muriel Spark’s third novel,Memento Mori, was also a murder mystery of sorts: a series of anonymous calls going out to a circle of older people, saying simply“Remember You Must Die,” which of course they nearly all do, as they are old, and murdered by time. He put on his sunglasses and sat back to contemplate the sales queue with satisfaction, watching the world go buy. The punters had been living in cars for three days by then and were dazed, dehydrated and desperate. The taxi drivers, their wives, anxious young couples, their parents, nurses and guards, all lining up to join the jet set, pressing coins into our palms like medieval supplicants. The smart money— or the slightly less stupid money — hadn’t wasted time viewing the show apartments but had gone straight to the private salesroom to slap down deposits. When they came out the other side with their contracts, they headed across to get an idea of the asset they’d just acquired, calculatingthe resale value when they went to flip it at completion..
