Carioca Fletch
“The window drapes were open. The room had been made up. Fletch pushed the ajar door to the bathroom all the way open.
“Laura?”
There was a note for him on the bureau.
Fletch— Otavio called. He is feeling too tired to stay for Carnival in Rio. He wants to be home in Bahia. He said this morning he feels too tired to travel alone, through all the Carnival crowds. So I am helping him travel to Bahia.
Surely I will be back Sunday. Enjoy the Canecão Ball tonight even without me. If yo...u get too lonely without me, I have left you Jorge Amado’s Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands—a great Brazilian classic. And I will bring you a present from Bahia—something I want for you.
Ciao, Laura Across the utility area, the man was still painting the room.
The phone rang.
“Janio?”
“Not here, at present.”MoreLess
