Chapter 19: At the Garden Party

The Merriman lawn had been turned into a fall garden.
There were pumpkins on hay bales, brass heaters among the hydrangeas, and sixty people in cashmere holding cider.
A man in a black suit stood at the gate with a tablet.
Maybelle got out of her car in her good blue cardigan, with her glasses on their chain and her purse over her arm.
"Name?" the man said.
"Maybelle Calhoun, Grady Hospital, nights." She held up the hospital newsletter folded in thirds. "It's a Foundation event. I'm the Foundation's hospital."
The man looked at his tablet, and then at the long driveway, and then at her bad knees.
He did not have the nerve to stop her.
