"
Well
,
"
Ben
answered
.
"
Pat
isn
’
t
exactly
body
conscious
,
either
–
just
about
her
tattoos
.
She
wants
to
be
stuffed
and
mounted
,
nude
,
when
she
dies
,
as
a
tribute
to
George
.
"
"
‘
George
’
?
"
"
Sorry
.
Her
husband
Up
in
heaven
,
to
my
relief
?
although
she
talked
about
him
as
if
he
had
just
slipped
out
for
a
short
beer
.
While
she
was
behaving
as
if
she
expected
a
trial
mounting
and
stuffing
any
moment
.
But
,
essentially
,
Pat
is
a
lady
?
and
she
didn
’
t
let
me
stay
embarrassed

PATRICIA
HAD
HER
ARMS
around
Ben
Caxton
and
gave
him
the
all
-
out
kiss
of
brotherhood
before
he
knew
what
hit
him
.
She
felt
at
once
his
unease
and
was
herself
surprised
,
because
Michael
had
told
her
to
expect
him
,
given
her
Ben
’
s
face
in
her
mind
,
had
explained
that
Ben
was
a
brother
in
all
fullness
,
of
the
Inner
Nest
,
and
she
knew
that
Jill
was
grown
closer
with
Ben
second
only
to
that
with
Michael
?
which
was
always
necessarily
first
since
Michael
was
the
fountain
and
source
of
all
their
knowledge
of
the
water
of
life
.
But
the
foundation
of
Patricia
’
s
nature
was
an
endless
wish
to
make
other
people
as
happy
as
she
was
;
she
slowed
down
.
She
invited
Ben
to
get
rid
of
his
clothes
but
did
so
casually
and
did
not
press
the
matter
,
except
to
ask
him
to
remove
his
shoes
,
with
the
explanation
that
the
Nest
was
everywhere
kind
to
bare
feet
and
the
unstated
corollary
that
street
shoes
would
not
be
kind
to
it
–
it
was
soft
and
clean
as
only
Michael
’
s
powers
could
keep
things
clean
,
which
Ben
could
see
for
himself
.
Aside
from
that
she
merely
pointed
out
where
to
hang
any
clothes
he
found
too
warm
for
the
Nest
and
hurried
away
to
fetch
him
a
drink
.
She
didn
’
t
ask
his
preferences
;
she
knew
them
from
Jill
.
She
merely
decided
that
he
would
choose
a
double
martini
this
time
rather
than
Scotch
and
soda
,
the
poor
dear
looked
tired
.
When
she
came
back
with
a
drink
for
each
of
them
,
Ben
was
barefooted
and
had
removed
his
street
jacket
.
"
Brother
,
may
you
never
thirst
.
"
"
We
share
water
,
"
he
agreed
and
drank
.
"
But
there
’
s
mighty
little
water
in
that
.
"
"
Enough
,
"
she
answered
.
"
Michael
says
that
the
water
could
be
completely
in
the
thought
;
it
is
the
sharing
.
I
grok
he
speaks
rightly
.
"
"
I
grok
.
And
it
’
s
just
what
I
needed
.
Thanks
,
Patty
.
