A banner hung over the stage in gold thread.
AMES FAMILY FOUNDATION: CHAMPION OF FAMILY CAREGIVERS.
Under it stood a podium, a string quartet, and a framed portrait of Adele in her pearls, smiling the way she smiled at the bank.

Half the room had been at her club on Thursday.
"That's the girl," a woman whispered near me.
"The one who knew all the medicines."

A young man in a bow tie checked my name against a list and ran his finger down it twice.
"Table twelve," he said.
"It's at the back."
"By the service doors."
"I know," I said.
The tables nearest the stage had white orchids and name cards in silver ink.
