The Second Saladin
“He had a history of unpleasant evenings, for during them, late, when he was alone, the things that he could not control by sheer will crawled out to harry him. And when he had found Johanna in her car, across from the blinking police lights, the rushing officers and medics, the gathering crowd, he was aware that in some strange way a trap had been sprung in his mind. He had stared at her, knowing exactly what had happened, and why, and how: he saw it now. A pain came and took his breath away an...d almost knocked him to the sidewalk.
He had thought he heard somebody tell him to be reasonable.
The memory would not die; it had increased the next several days, all through his time as athlete, among the postman and his friends.
Be reasonable, somebody was telling him.
The voice was sane and calm; it was almost compassionate.
“Paul. Be reasonable.”
Chardy was alone in his little Silver Spring apartment, on the night after he returned from Danzig’s. A baseball game was over on the tube, it was that late.MoreLess
