Chapter 19: The Plan
The sheriff got out of his cruiser slowly and set his hat on his head.
He was a big soft man of about forty, with a mustache.
I stood in Patrick's coat with my hair full of river air.
"Evening, Patrick," the sheriff said. "Mrs. Habersham."
"Sheriff," Patrick said.
"Your mother phoned at ten. She said Edith had left the house upset, and that she might do herself a harm."
"My wife is on her husband's dock," Patrick said. "She's fine."
The sheriff looked at me.
His eyes went over my coat, my bare feet in my shoes, and the tangle of my hair.
"Ma'am, are you well?"
"I'm very well," I said. "I'm a grown woman, and I wanted to see the river."
"Your mother-in-law is concerned about your state of mind."
"I'm sure she is."
He shifted his weight.
"I have to put something in the log," he said, apologetic.
"Put that she was seen walking, in full possession of her faculties, and in the company of her husband," said Patrick.
