" fair division between parties ," someone had scribled violently in the margin ." i shoulld be so lucky ." who sent it ? i inquired of eve . but she said she had not recognized the woman .
wills and probate lay on the kitchne table in front of me . i supposed the rest of the world was saying on very nicely without nathan . chris sharpe had , in all probability , enjoyed a good day . peter shaker's would not have been too bad eother , except , perhaps , for the odd jab of conscience . i felt sorry for carrolyne , who would be caught between loyalty to her husna=band .and her stricy=t notions of what was correct . booting nathna put in favor of peter woul;d not come under her heading of the later .
someone walked into the kitchen ." martin ."
he palced a cling - wrapped pyrex dish on the table and bent over to kiss my check ." i came as soon as i could and i've brought a macarom and cheese ."
i cast around for the polite response , any response ." lucas loves macarom and cheese ."
he sat beside me and took both my hands in his ." oaige asked linds to make it ." there was a pause ." this is terrible .
minty , but you will survive . that's what i 've come to tell you . it might seem that you won't , but you will ."
his grasp was cool and firm , and i was grateful for it ." keep telling me that , martin ."
" i have every intertion of doing so ."
the macaron and cheese had been made to perfecttion with a crip crust on top ." i'm not sure what to do first ."
martin let go of my hands . and extracted a piece of paper from his breast pocket ." i've made a list ." he said . cobbled together from what i remember when my parents died . . funeral arrangements ....."
