Chapter 11: Why
He opened the passenger door of the sedan for me, and I got in without a word.
We drove out of the Battery past the old houses and the cannon and the wet green park, and neither of us spoke until the Ashley River bridge.
The bridge runs long and low over the marsh, with a narrow shoulder and a wide sky.
"Pull over," I said.
"Detty."
"Pull over."
He pulled onto the shoulder and stopped.
Cars went by at sixty on the left.
The marsh stretched flat and gold on both sides of us under a pale afternoon sky.
I turned in the seat.
"What's in the chest?" I said.
"I'll tell you when I can pay for it," Anson said.
"That's not an answer. That's the thing you say instead of an answer."
"It's the only one I've got."
I let a car go by before I spoke again.
"A man at a table tells you your brother was reckless," I said, "and you thank him."
His whole body went still.
"I watched your hand," I said. "I watched it for ten minutes. It lay on that cloth and it did not move, and you let him say it."
"Detty," he said.
"He called Luc a drunk. In front of you. In front of me. And you said thank you, Judge, for your kindness."
