Chapter 19: The Table
The Cavanagh cousins ate at the Gaslight every Friday at seven, at a table made from the old fermenting-room doors.
Doyle walked in at five past, through the front, in a clean shirt, with Abel's ledger under his arm.
Noelle walked beside him in her navy scrubs, with her green lanyard on and her hand in her coat pocket.
The guard at the door started to lift a radio, and Doyle looked at him.
The guard put it down again.
The tasting room was long and warm, with copper kettles along one wall and a hundred-year-old bar at the end.
A dozen people sat at the table over lamb and red wine.
They were men and women in their forties and fifties, with Cavanagh noses and Cavanagh jaws, and they stopped chewing one by one.
At the head sat Harlan, with his cane hooked on the chair back and a napkin tucked into his collar.
On his left, Cade lounged with a glass of whiskey and a gold watch catching the candlelight.
