We
took
the
field
first
.
No
business
went
out
to
center
field
the
first
inning
.
From
my
position
on
first
base
,
I
glanced
behind
me
now
and
then
.
Each
time
I
did
,
Mary
Hudson
waved
gaily
to
me
.
She
was
wearing
a
catcher
’
s
mitt
,
her
own
adamant
choice
.
It
was
a
horrible
sight
.
Mary
Hudson
batted
ninth
on
the
Warriors
’
lineup
.
When
I
informed
her
of
this
arrangement
,
she
made
a
little
face
and
said
,
"
Well
,
hurry
up
,
then
.
"
And
as
a
matter
of
fact
we
did
seem
to
hurry
up
.
She
got
to
bat
in
the
first
inning
.
She
took
off
her
beaver
coat
—
and
her
catcher
’
s
mitt
—
for
the
occasion
and
advanced
to
the
plate
in
a
dark
-
brown
dress
.
When
I
gave
her
a
bat
,
she
asked
me
why
it
was
so
heavy
.
The
Chief
left
his
umpire
’
s
position
behind
the
pitcher
and
came
forward
anxiously
.
He
told
Mary
Hudson
to
rest
the
end
of
her
bat
on
her
right
shouder
.
"
I
am
,
"
she
said
.
He
told
her
not
to
choke
the
bat
too
tightly
.
"
I
’
m
not
,
"
she
said
.
He
told
her
to
keep
her
eye
right
on
the
ball
.
"
I
will
,
"
she
said
.
"
Get
outa
the
way
.
"
She
swung
mightily
at
the
first
ball
pitched
to
her
and
hit
it
over
the
left
fielder
’
s
head
.
It
was
good
for
an
ordinary
double
,
but
Mary
Hudson
got
to
third
on
it
—
standing
up
.
When
my
astonishment
had
worn
off
,
and
then
my
awe
,
and
then
my
delight
,
I
looked
over
at
the
Chief
.
He
didn
’
t
so
much
seem
to
be
standing
behind
the
pitcher
as
floating
over
him
.
He
was
a
completely
happy
man
.
Over
on
third
base
,
Mary
Hudson
waved
to
me
.
I
waved
back
.
I
couldn
’
t
have
stopped
myself
,
even
if
I
’
d
wanted
to
.
Her
stickwork
aside
,
she
happened
to
be
a
girl
who
knew
how
to
wave
to
somebody
from
third
base
.
The
rest
of
the
game
,
she
got
on
base
every
time
she
came
to
bat
.
For
some
reason
,
she
seemed
to
hate
first
base
;
there
was
no
holding
her
there
.
At
least
three
times
,
she
stole
second
.
Her
fielding
couldn
’
t
have
been
worse
,
but
we
were
piling
up
too
many
runs
to
take
serious
notice
of
it
.
I
think
it
would
have
improved
if
she
’
d
gone
after
flies
with
almost
anything
except
a
catcher
’
s
mitt
.
She
wouldn
’
t
take
it
off
,
though
.
She
said
it
was
cute
.
The
next
month
or
so
,
she
played
baseball
with
the
Comanches
a
couple
of
times
a
week
(
whenever
she
had
an
appointment
with
her
dentist
,
apparently
)
.
Some
afternoons
she
met
the
bus
on
time
,
some
afternoons
she
was
late
.
Sometimes
she
talked
a
blue
streak
in
the
bus
,
sometimes
she
just
sat
and
smoked
her
Herbert
Tareyton
cigarettes
(
cork
-
tipped
)
.
When
you
sat
next
to
her
in
the
bus
,
she
smelled
of
a
wonderful
perfume
.
One
wintry
day
in
April
,
after
making
his
usual
three
o
’
clock
pickup
at
109th
and
Amsterdam
,
the
Chief
turned
the
loaded
bus
east
at
110th
Street
and
cruised
routinely
down
Fifth
Avenue
.
But
his
hair
was
combed
wet
,
he
had
on
his
overcoat
instead
of
his
leather
windbreaker
,
and
I
reasonably
surmised
that
Mary
Hudson
was
scheduled
to
join
us
.
When
we
zipped
past
our
usual
entrance
to
the
Park
,
I
was
sure
of
it
.
The
Chief
parked
the
bus
on
the
comer
in
the
Sixties
appropriate
to
the
occasion
.
Then
,
to
kill
time
painlessly
for
the
Comanches
,
he
straddled
his
seat
backward
and
released
a
new
installment
of
"
The
Laughing
Man
.
"
I
remember
the
installment
to
the
last
detail
,
and
I
must
outline
it
briefly
.
A
flux
of
circumstances
delivered
the
Laughing
Man
’
s
best
friend
,
his
timber
wolf
,
Black
Wing
,
into
a
physical
and
intellectual
trap
set
by
the
Dufarges
.
The
Dufarges
,
aware
of
the
Laughing
Man
’
s
high
sense
of
loyalty
,
offered
him
Black
Wing
’
s
freedom
in
exchange
for
his
own
.
In
the
best
faith
in
the
world
,
the
Laughing
Man
agreed
to
these
terms
.
(
Some
of
the
minor
mechanics
of
his
genius
were
often
subject
to
mysterious
little
breakdowns
.
)
It
was
arranged
for
the
Laughing
Man
to
meet
the
Dufarges
at
midnight
in
a
designated
section
of
the
dense
forest
surrounding
Paris
,
and
there
,
by
moonlight
,
Black
Wing
would
be
set
free
.
However
,
the
Dufarges
had
no
intention
of
liberating
Black
Wing
,
whom
they
feared
and
loathed
.
On
the
night
of
the
transaction
,
they
leashed
a
stand
-
in
timber
wolf
for
Black
Wing
,
first
dyeing
its
left
hind
foot
snow
white
,
to
look
like
Black
Wing
’
s
.
