Chapter 10: Second Line

By ten on Mardi Gras morning, Magazine Street had turned into one long loud party.

A brass band marched down the middle of it, trumpets and trombones and a sousaphone, and behind the band came a second line.

Hundreds of people danced behind it with umbrellas and handkerchiefs and beads.

I wore the gold mask again, and a green dress I had not worn in eight years.

Tommy walked on my left in a black mask and a dark suit.

Vince walked on my right in a mask covered in purple feathers, which he had not let me talk him out of.

"That is the loudest mask I have ever seen," I told him.

"Thank you, sweetheart. That's the plan."

Somewhere a drum hit the beat, and the whole crowd answered it with their feet.

I had not danced in a second line since I was twenty-three years old.
