Chapter 14: What He Let Happen

The photographer sent both prints before the gathering began.

I put them on the mantelpiece beside Roderick's empty frame.

He picked up the first and held it at arm's length.

Lucan stood in it with the chair hanging behind his shoulders.

"This was a mistake," Roderick said.

"An expensive one," I replied.

"I paid for my copy."

He turned it facedown and put the second over it.

"This is the family picture."

"Those are the same two people," Elspeth pointed out.

He straightened the second print and looked for its caption.

I had the folded strip about the frightened bride in my pocket.

Winnie put the chairs in a circle and left the frame empty.

Roderick carried his chair toward the fireplace.

The others stayed where they were, leaving him outside the circle.

Roderick returned his chair without comment as Lucan came in.
