Chapter 17: Sugar on Snow
The Company's Sugar-on-Snow supper filled the church hall to the rafters.
Forty tables stood in rows, and pans of fresh snow went down the aisles on trays.
I sat at the long Station 4 table between Gilles and Ansel, in a green dress Emile's sister had lent me.
A man's hand rested on my thigh under the cloth.
I did not know whose.
It moved an inch up when I reached for the pickle dish, and I stopped looking.
Normand was across from me, pouring syrup in a gold loop on a plate of snow and handing it across the table.
"Eat," he said.
"You're a menace," I told him, and ate it.
Tibo sat at the end with his knee against mine, and every few minutes it pressed.
There were two hundred people in that hall, and all of them knew these five men.
They stopped at our table in a stream to shake hands and ask about the engine, and every one of them looked at me.
"This is Jo," Gilles said, to each of them.
