Arthur answered one call around 9.
    “This is Bob Cole,” said a rich tenor voice. “Is that Arthur? . . . Eddie Howell called me last night and told me the sad news. I’m very shocked and saddened, Arthur. Could I possibly have a word with your mother?”
    “Yes. Just a minute, I’ll call her.” Arthur did, and his mother came in from the bedroom. “The Reverend Cole now,” Arthur said.
    Arthur went out to the backyard, not wanting to hear what his mother said. This morning, he had woken up earl
...y, found himself in his familiar old bed, and thought, “My God, I’m home!” and had imagined his mother coming in with coffee around 8, which was exactly what had happened. His grandmother had telephoned earlier this morning, and she was arriving at 8:30 this evening at Indi Airport. That would be to the good. The detention place where Robbie was being held had telephoned also. They wanted Lois to come this morning and sign some papers, and Arthur had offered to go, but the police wanted his mother.MoreLess
