i allowed myself to be led into the kitchen and put into a chair ." you must atke your time ." rose was so gentle , oh so gentle . she palced a glass of water in front of me and i stared at it . nathan is dead .
after a while , i asked , "can i see him ?"
"of course . they haven't moved him . it was too late by thte time the ambulance came . he hasn't been disturbed . there is nothing to be froghtened of , minty . i promise you ." ros4e 's vioice beat on my eardrums ." the doctor will be here in a minute death certificate . i'm afraid it's necessary ."
"yes ." i managed a sip of water - it's montaste on my tongue , the accompaniment to my slide from wife to window . i burried my face in my hands .  how was i going to tell the boys ? lucas had felt sick this morning . had he been sick ?
" rose . i must phone home ."
"i'll do that for you ,said rose ." i'll explain that you will be home lates , but i won't go into detail ." she bent over me ." is that best ? i think so ."
after i had drunk the glass of water . rose helped me upright and led me to the door of the sitting room . she stepped back ." he's in there .
