Passion And Affect
“Max watched them from the bay window. He looked out over the water and saw the first of the small craft battling its way to an old mooring. On the weekends he liked to sit by the bay window and watch his part of the Sound. It soothed him, and it gave him a sense of propriety to see the latticework gazebo, firm on its slope. A family of barn swallows was building a nest in its thatched roof. The spot Max watched was ringed by dense firs where the Sound was squeezed into an inlet. The wind made t...he water choppy and there were white tongues on the tops of the waves.
Recently, Max had discovered that there were water rats in his part of the Sound. His four children played by the shore and reported that they had seen brown cats swimming there. Max called the Town Commission and the commission secretary suggested poison, but in the summer his babies swam face down, splashing and lapping, and Max asked if there was anything else he could do.
