Chapter 16: Constance's Table
The butler set a bowl of soup in front of me and did not meet my eyes.
"Compliments of the kitchen," he murmured, and his eyes slid toward the pantry.
Behind him the pantry door stood open an inch, and a green velvet sleeve showed in the gap.
I did not look at it.
My bag sat on the chair beside me with the clasp undone, and the little red dot inside it was counting.
"You've lost your lawyer," I said.
"I have lost a man who billed me eleven thousand dollars a month to be afraid of me."
Constance folded her napkin into a square.
"I will make this simple, because I admire you for being simple."
"I am prepared to sign this house to you."
"The deed, the grounds, the boathouse, free of every lien. Today."
"I have a banker who will release five million dollars into any account you name."
"A wing at Beacon General will carry the child's name, if you wish a name. Whatever you wish."
