Michelle took the phone from her and called three
different girls, finally arranging a ride to the movie theater
on the east side of town. A sob was strangled in her throat. Wasting no time, he crossed straight to the
shutters and opened them. He was a
thin old man, a wreck in a ruined body, but nothing would induce him to stand in
any other way than as stiffly erect as possible like the soldier he had always
been, even though he was obliged to lean on his silver-handled cane to do so. Drawing the pay of life and then not
living. But his glance roved, to the door through which Ruth had gone,
to Enschede's drooping back. There was little more here than a sideboard, a chest for the vestments, and a
simple wooden chair. It was just
then that she came face to face with Nigel Ennison. The transverse spars
before mentioned were as slippery as ice; and the hollows between them were
filled ankle-deep with water. He was now within a foot of the bar, and introducing
himself into the hole, speedily worked his way to it. All the fury had left her, swamped by an inexplicable flood of
warmth. She
saw the moonlit waters, the black shadow of the proa, the moon-fire that ran
down the far edge of the bellying sail, the silent natives: no sound except the
slapping of the outrigger and the low sibilant murmur of water falling away from
the sides—and the beating of her heart. So you took my womb
away, you took my baby! So I could be a monster!
Because she was a monster! We are monsters!”
He grabbed the top of the cannon away from her face. Ann Veronica’s tense nerves started, and she stood still with her eyes upon
him, wondering what it might be that impended. Under her feet lay intricate mosaics, and each
warm hall was festooned in tapestries.
