Chapter 16: Letter Torn in Half
Eugene Holloway's study had a green lamp, a wall of ledgers and a desk too big for one old man.
Nelson had carried Percy in from the car, still asleep, and handed him to the housekeeper at the foot of the stairs.
Now he stood in front of his grandfather's desk with his hands in his pockets and his jaw tight.
I sat in the leather chair by the window with my coat on.
Eugene did not ask us to sit, and he did not ask us to be calm.
"Sunday night, a woman sat in the chair you're in," he said to me.
"She wore a red coat, and she called me Mr. Holloway the way a person says a password."
"My mother," I said.
"She told me she had written to me once."
He opened the top drawer of his desk, and his hand shook a little.
He laid two pieces of paper on the blotter, side by side.
They were halves of a single sheet, yellowed along the tear.
Someone had held them together with a strip of tape that had gone brown.
