The Late Child (1995)
“On the ride to the Statue of Liberty boat, Harmony sat alone. Even Eddie abandoned her.
“She’s too sad about my sister,” Eddie said. “Let’s just let her ride in the back seat until she feels better.”
He himself spent the trip happily chatting with Laurie and Sheba, and admiring Iggy’s new red leash and black collar.
“Laurie bought them just for Iggy,” he said.
Pat sat on the front seat and flirted, as best she could, with G., but G. kept turning around and flashing his beautiful white teeth at ...Neddie. It made Neddie uncomfortable and Pat mad.
“That man’s mixed up, I don’t care what his religion is,” Pat said. “I’m the one flirting with him, not you.”
“Don’t blame me,” Neddie said. “I’m ignoring him for dear life.”
Despite little irritations, on the order of G. flirting with the wrong woman, the group was mostly a happy group. They were all so cheerful that Harmony wished her part of the bus would just drop off—just detach itself, like a railroad car that had come unhooked, and coast to a stop somewhere with her in it.MoreLess
