You
stay
there
and
you
keep
your
head
down
.
Don
’
t
get
into
any
trouble
.
You
hear
me
?
"
"
But
—
"
There
was
a
click
,
and
the
line
went
dead
and
stayed
dead
.
There
was
no
dial
tone
,
but
then
,
there
never
was
.
Nothing
but
time
to
kill
.
The
conversation
with
Wednesday
had
left
Shadow
with
a
sense
of
disquiet
.
He
got
up
,
intending
to
go
for
a
walk
,
but
already
the
light
was
fading
,
and
he
sat
back
down
again
.
Shadow
picked
up
the
Minutes
of
the
Lakeside
City
Council
1872
–
1884
and
turned
the
pages
,
his
eyes
scanning
the
tiny
print
,
not
actually
reading
it
,
occasionally
scanning
something
that
caught
his
eye
.
In
July
of
1874
,
Shadow
learned
,
the
city
council
was
concerned
about
the
number
of
itinerant
foreign
loggers
arriving
in
the
town
.
An
opera
house
was
to
be
built
on
the
corner
of
Third
Street
and
Broadway
.
It
was
to
be
expected
that
the
nuisances
attendant
to
the
damming
of
Mill
Creek
would
abate
once
the
mill
-
pond
had
become
a
lake
.
The
council
authorized
the
payment
of
seventy
dollars
to
Mr
.
Samuel
Samuels
,
and
of
eighty
-
five
dollars
to
Mr
.
Heikki
Salminen
,
in
compensation
for
their
land
and
for
the
expenses
incurred
in
moving
their
domiciles
out
of
the
area
to
be
flooded
.
It
had
never
occurred
to
Shadow
before
that
the
lake
was
man
-
made
.
Why
call
a
town
Lakeside
,
when
the
lake
had
begun
as
a
dammed
mill
-
pond
?
He
read
on
,
to
discover
that
a
Mr
.
Hinzelmann
,
originally
of
Hüdemuhlen
in
Brunswick
,
was
in
charge
of
the
lake
-
building
project
,
and
that
the
city
council
had
granted
him
the
sum
of
$
370
toward
the
project
,
any
shortfall
to
be
made
up
by
public
subscription
.
Shadow
tore
off
a
strip
of
a
paper
towel
and
placed
it
into
the
book
as
a
bookmark
.
He
could
imagine
Hinzelmann
’
s
pleasure
in
seeing
the
reference
to
his
grandfather
.
He
wondered
if
the
old
man
knew
that
his
family
had
been
instrumental
in
building
the
lake
.
Shadow
flipped
forward
through
the
book
,
scanning
for
more
references
to
the
lake
-
building
project
.
They
had
dedicated
the
lake
in
a
ceremony
in
the
spring
of
1876
,
as
a
precursor
to
the
town
’
s
centennial
celebrations
.
A
vote
of
thanks
to
Mr
.
Hinzelmann
was
taken
by
the
council
.
Shadow
checked
his
watch
.
It
was
five
thirty
.
He
went
into
the
bathroom
,
shaved
,
combed
his
hair
.
He
changed
his
clothes
.
Somehow
the
final
fifteen
minutes
passed
.
He
got
the
wine
and
the
plant
,
and
he
walked
next
door
.
The
door
opened
as
he
knocked
.
Marguerite
Olsen
looked
almost
as
nervous
as
he
felt
.
She
took
the
wine
bottle
and
the
potted
plant
,
and
said
thank
you
.
The
television
was
on
,
The
Wizard
of
Oz
on
video
.
It
was
still
in
sepia
,
and
Dorothy
was
still
in
Kansas
,
sitting
with
her
eyes
closed
in
Professor
Marvel
’
s
wagon
as
the
old
fraud
pretended
to
read
her
mind
,
and
the
twister
-
wind
that
would
tear
her
away
from
her
life
was
approaching
.
Leon
sat
in
front
of
the
screen
,
playing
with
a
toy
fire
truck
.
When
he
saw
Shadow
an
expression
of
delight
touched
his
face
;
he
stood
up
and
ran
,
tripping
over
his
feet
in
his
excitement
,
into
a
back
bedroom
,
from
which
he
emerged
a
moment
later
,
triumphantly
waving
a
quarter
.
