She
stood
on
the
slight
downgrade
of
her
front
lawn
,
with
the
low
,
glaring
,
late
afternoon
sun
at
her
back
.
About
two
hundred
yards
ahead
of
her
,
her
son
Lionel
was
sitting
in
the
stern
seat
of
his
father
s
dinghy
.
Tied
,
and
stripped
of
its
main
and
jib
sails
,
the
dinghy
floated
at
a
perfect
right
angle
away
from
the
far
end
of
the
pier
.
Fifty
feet
or
so
beyond
it
,
a
lost
or
abandoned
water
ski
floated
bottom
up
,
but
there
were
no
pleasure
boats
to
be
seen
on
the
lake
;
just
a
sterne
-
end
view
of
the
county
launch
on
its
way
over
to
Leech
s
Landing
.
Boo
Boo
found
it
queerly
difficult
to
keep
Lionel
in
steady
focus
.
The
sun
,
though
not
especially
hot
,
was
nonetheless
so
brilliant
that
it
made
any
fairly
distant
image
-
a
boy
,
a
boat
-
seen
almost
as
wavering
and
refractional
as
a
stick
in
water
.
812
After
a
couple
of
minutes
,
Boo
Boo
let
the
image
go
.
She
peeled
down
her
cigarette
Army
style
,
and
then
started
toward
the
pier
.
813
It
was
October
,
and
the
pier
boards
no
longer
could
hit
her
in
the
face
with
reflected
heat
.
She
walked
along
whistling
"
Kentucky
Babe
"
through
her
teeth
.
When
she
reached
the
end
of
the
pier
,
she
squatted
,
her
knees
audible
,
at
the
right
edge
,
and
looked
down
at
Lionel
.
He
was
less
than
on
oar
s
length
away
from
her
.
He
didn
t
look
up
.

"
Ahoy
,
"
Boo
Boo
said
.
"
Friend
.
Pirate
.
Dirty
dog
.
I
m
back
.
"
815
Still
not
looking
up
,
Lionel
abruptly
seemed
called
upon
to
demonstrate
his
sailing
ability
.
He
swung
the
dead
tiller
all
the
way
to
the
right
,
then
immediately
yanked
it
back
in
to
his
side
.
He
kept
his
eyes
exclusively
on
the
deck
of
the
boat
.
816
"
It
is
I
,
"
Boo
Boo
said
.
"
Vice
-
Admiral
Tannenbaum
.
Nee
Glass
.
Come
to
inspect
the
stermaphors
.
"
817
There
was
a
response
.

"
You
aren
t
an
admiral
.
You
re
a
lady
"
Lionel
said
.
His
sentences
usually
had
at
least
one
break
of
faulty
breath
control
,
so
that
,
often
,
his
emphasized
words
,
instead
of
rising
,
sank
.
Boo
Boo
not
only
listened
to
his
voice
,
she
seemed
to
watch
it
.
819
"
Who
told
you
that
?
Who
told
you
I
wasn
t
an
admiral
?
"
820
Lionel
answered
,
but
inaudibly
.
