Chapter 23: The Clan Falls
They walked Eugene up the lawn in handcuffs, with six officers around him and the whole household watching.
The cook had come out onto the back steps, still in her apron.
Two gardeners stood with their caps in their hands.
Every window of the big house held a face.
The officer who had arrested my father the day before stood by the gate with his eyes on the ground.
When Eugene passed him, the officer stepped back and let him go by without a word.
"Mr. Saltonstall, you have the right to remain silent," a detective was saying, reading from a card.
Eugene was no longer shouting.
His silver hair had come loose, and there was green pier slime down the front of his good suit.
He looked once at the house where he had been born, and I saw him see that no one on the steps would meet his eyes.
His brother-in-law was waiting in the back of a second car, with a coat over his head.
The magistrate from the list came in a third, that same afternoon.
