Chapter 22: The Door
Lyle looked at the deputies.
Then he laughed, loud and easy, and spread his hands to the room.
"This is a misunderstanding," he said. "Gentlemen, ladies, please. My wife has been under enormous strain."
"These two women have been paid to say these things."
"By whom?" the commodore said.
Lyle's mouth opened and shut.
"I am her husband," he said, turning to the deputies. "We were married on the fourth of October before a hundred and eighty witnesses."
"I have no other wife. I have never had another wife. I'll swear to it on anything you like."
"Please do," said the woman in the suit.
"I swear it." He lifted his right hand like a boy in school. "I have never been married to anyone but Cassidy Barnwell."
For a moment, nobody breathed.
Then the first wife took a folded paper out of her gray coat.
She walked down the aisle to the deputies, and handed it over.
"Beaufort County marriage license," she said. "Seven years ago. Gavin Kemp and me."
