Three Rivers
“A nasty cold October wind drove the rain down, sometimes in heavy sheets that in their turn were dashed away by more gusts of wind. There was no letup in the rain all day, and by late afternoon a thick wet fog had settled in as well. It was the same on Sunday, and one could feel the gray, cold wetness of it right through to one’s bones.
Isabel loved it. It was the perfect excuse to stay tucked in the house with the animals, and the fires going. She worked a bit on Ashanti Sun, packed her cases ...and played with Rita, Winston and Arthur. She read the Sunday papers and did some cooking for Sunday lunch: roast beef (sublime), Yorkshire pudding (a flop and into the rubbish), baked apples filled with nuts and cinnamon (sheer ambrosia). Endo arrived on the scene and, horrified by the mess of his kitchen, took over and made the salad. Isabel sat in a rocking chair watching him and waiting for the phone to ring telling her the plane had been canceled and the job was off.
She was completely relaxed and ready to go, but for some reason she had a feeling that something would happen, and it was not going to come off.MoreLess
