Chapter 19: Shareholder Hall

"Wednesday, ten o'clock, the convention center," I said.

"You sit next to me."

"You don't speak unless I put my hand on your arm."

Annalise stared at me.

"That's not a job."

"It's the hardest one I've got."

She looked at the black cars lined up on the hillside road, and at her own shaking hands.

"What does it pay?"

"Nothing."

"Fine," said Annalise.

On Wednesday morning eight hundred shareholders filled the big hall on College Street.

They sat in rows of gray folding chairs under a ceiling of white lights, retired warehouse managers beside family trusts in good wool.

Behind the stage hung the green Kenworthy banner, forty feet wide, with its little pine tree.

A long table stood on the stage with a microphone at either end.

Roland Kenworthy sat at the center in a dove-gray suit and a bow tie the color of old gold.

Cordelia sat at the far left end alone, in charcoal, with her hands folded.
