I peeled the sodden fabric of my trousers away from my knees. They were scattered with hairs from Prince’s coat. The water in my shoes was warming up. ‘It’s a fine house.’ At the end of summer, Jean moved away to college, and Karinger and I started high school. Four years later, my sister had gone back to Jean, as in denim, and moved East for law school. Karinger and I celebrated our diplomas before he left for boot camp. Then we had our last conversation, and time passed indifferently. Truly, what was the struggle for Winifred compared to the struggle for Consuelo? Nothing. Pure vanity. Montemayor had no illusions about this. But the easier it appeared to him to defend Winifred, the more heartbroken he felt that he’d lost his Consuelo. He had almost forgotten Mortimer, but now he began to hate him again vehemently. If Karinger had shaved and worn a long blond wig, he’d have looked just like Linda. She even wore baggy T-shirts, too. After working at the shelter all day, she’d come home to Karinger, his younger sister, Roxanne, me, and the three cats living in the trailer. I couldn’t tell if the shaggy brown carpet smelled like the cats or if the cats smelled like the shaggy brown carpet. Either way, Linda had that smell, too. “You know what I’m gonna do, right?” he said. She gave me a sleepy smile and kissed me. It wouldn’t be worthwhile doing such a thing here. We’re all so clear, sort of. Now is the time.The time of questions. ‘He’s one of your creditors, isn’t he? He’s been sent by one of them?’ “Lately? For the past nineteen years I’ve compared troubles before getting dressed in the morning.” Half a dozen candles were lit along the platforms used by the Africans, and Duncan looked up at more than three dozen wary faces. Ursa, the big slave who had saved Murdo from his misery after Gabriel’s beating, spoke to the others in his native tongue, and several came forward to greet Duncan, led by the man’s wife and son. Duncan introduced himself and Ursa gave his hand a vigorous shake, then pulled his son forward. “Kuwali speak good,” the man said of his son. A nervous voice inserted itself into the silence.“Pennsylvania rangers started disappearing months ago, and some farmers who had been in our militia.” Jess Ross fixed the French girl with an inquiring gaze, as if assessing the truth of her words. “Came back with it from a Jamaica posting, he says.” She pushed back her curly brunette hair to see Duncan better. “Jamie . . . I mean Mr. Winters mentioned he had a Scottish doctor among his charges. Can it be true?” She’s so rebellious, I say, feeling terribly ashamed of my worthless excuse for a daughter, who won’t even deign to look in on her old benefactress. She does everything opposite of what I want, I add. I’ve come all this way on just a trace of hope. I quit my job, ended my lease, emptied my apartment, scoured it from top to bottom, loaded all the appliances into the truck, left dear old Dad. After doing all that, the least I can do is make one little phone call now that my rescue operation is threatened. But I want to wait and see first.Wait and see. I should know how to do that. I haven’t done anything for an entire year but wait and see, in despair. “From the sky drip big drops”: Part of a verse by the versifier and shop owner?sleifur G?slason (1873–1960). The verse in full reads: “Detta ?r lofti dropar st?rir, / dignar um ? sveitinni. / Tvisvar sinnum tveir eru fj?rir, / taktu ? horn ? geitinni” (“From the sky drip big drops / wetting the countryside / twice two makes four / take the goat by the horns”). “There was a tinker, who mended some pots. That circuit rider, who led us in hymns and moved on.” “Of course he did. He taunted them, and knew they would take vengeance for Hobart’s death once he taunted them with the medallion, knew he was not one of those who had to be preserved for the hangings. His body was failing him, so he chose his day. It is the way of the true warriors, the ones following the old ways, to make their deaths mean something, to fill their last acts with honor.”.
