Yet more laughter greeted that. McGarr found Pascal Burke’s signature of the day before. And he noticed, turning back farther still, that a stay of a fortnight’s duration had been usual for the dead eel policeman. “ ‘Details, man,’ the pukka insisted. ’ “ ‘Oh,’ said your man, tallying up his scores in his head. ’ “ ‘What? You’re jokin’ me,’ said the pukka, incredulous and hoping his powers weren’t waning. ’ “ ‘No, a month,’ replied your man. ’ ” The joke was an old chestnut that McGarr had heard countless times before.
Lighting a cigarette, McGarr glanced up. A leaden sky, frayed here and there with patches of brilliant luminescence, was sweeping to the east. And the pall it was casting had prompted one fisherman out on the river to weigh anchor and stroke toward shore; another was trying to start his outboard engine, as his skiff drifted south on dark, swift water. It would storm soon. From the edge of the courtyard where the formal garden began, McGarr could see into the town—a 46 Bartholomew Gill housewife scurrying to fold her wash into a brimming basket; a shopkeeper stepping out of his door to carry a sandwich board inside, while his children—McGarr assumed—rushed out onto the footpath to pull in the goods that the shop had been offering passersby.

You and I were agreed. ” Tallon wagged his head, his face suddenly a tragic mask. “Nor this village. You’re going to let this . . thing”— he flourished a hand at the bed—“what we had nothing to do with, what was done by some outsiders, ruin our lives. “Peter, I implore you. I beseech you. ” There was a histrionic element to Tallon’s personality that was both curious and distressing and McGarr tried to remember if he’d always been that way.
