The Lost Bird (2000)
“The wind swept across the plains and knocked at the sides of the Escort. He let up on the accelerator. The air was wavy in the afternoon sunlight.
He’d picked Megan up from the hospital in the morning and brought her back to the mission, where he left her at the guest house with instructions to rest. They both understood that she had no intention of doing so. He had been in his office about an hour when she showed up, complaining that the walls were closing in and that she preferred to work rat...her than die of boredom. The morning had slipped by him: phone calls, people dropping by, and his own unsuccessful attempts to get some work done. He managed to complete the arrangements for Father Joseph’s memorial Mass and the feast that would follow. Finally, after a quick lunch of tuna-fish sandwiches with Megan at the residence, he’d driven out of the mission and headed west on Seventeen-Mile Road.
Now he wheeled into the dirt yard in front of the house. Esther Tallman was pulling laundry off a line that stretched between the cottonwoods on one side.MoreLess
