Sam
’
s
words
had
been
very
quiet
,
an
intimate
conversation
walled
by
noise
of
eating
and
cheerful
company
.
His
wife
was
far
down
the
table
.
She
looked
up
and
said
clearly
,
"
That
’
s
an
exaggeration
,
Jubal
.
I
think
I
’
m
about
number
six
.
"
Her
husband
called
out
,
"
Stay
out
of
my
mind
,
beautiful
!
–
we
’
re
talking
men
talk
.
Give
Larry
your
undivided
attention
.
"
He
picked
up
a
hard
roll
,
threw
it
at
her
.
She
stopped
it
in
mid
-
trajectory
,
threw
it
back
at
him
while
continuing
to
talk
;
Sam
caught
it
and
buttered
it
.
"
I
’
m
giving
Larry
all
the
attention
he
wants
?
until
later
,
maybe
.
Jubal
,
that
brute
didn
’
t
let
me
finish
.
Number
-
six
place
is
wonderful
!
Because
my
name
wasn
’
t
even
on
the
list
till
we
joined
the
church
.
I
hadn
’
t
rated
as
high
as
six
with
Sam
in
the
past
twenty
years
.
"
She
did
then
turn
her
attention
back
to
Larry
.
"
The
real
point
,
"
Sam
said
quietly
,
"
is
that
we
two
are
now
partners
,
much
more
than
we
ever
were
even
at
the
best
period
in
our
outside
marriage
–
and
we
got
that
way
through
the
training
,
culminating
in
sharing
and
growing
closer
with
others
who
had
the
same
training
.
We
all
wind
up
in
twosome
partnerships
inside
the
larger
group
–
usually
,
but
not
necessarily
,
with
our
own
spouses
-
of
-
record
.
Sometimes
not
?
and
if
not
,
the
readjustment
takes
place
with
no
heartache
and
a
warmer
,
closer
,
better
relationship
between
the
soidisant
‘
divorced
’
couple
than
ever
,
both
in
bed
and
out
.
No
loss
and
all
gain
.
Shucks
,
this
pairing
as
partners
needn
’
t
even
be
between
man
and
woman
.
Dawn
and
Jill
for
example
–
they
work
together
like
an
acrobatic
team
.
"
"
Hmm
?
I
suppose
,
"
Jubal
said
thoughtfully
,
"
that
I
had
thought
of
those
two
as
being
Mike
’
s
wives
.
"
"
No
more
so
than
they
are
to
any
of
us
.
Or
than
Mike
is
to
all
the
rest
.
Mike
is
too
busy
,
has
been
,
I
should
say
,
until
the
Temple
burned
–
to
do
more
than
make
sure
that
he
shared
himself
all
the
way
around
.
"
Sam
added
,
"
If
anybody
is
Mike
’
s
wife
,
it
’
s
Patty
,
although
she
keeps
so
busy
herself
that
the
relation
is
more
spiritual
than
physical
.
Actually
,
you
could
say
that
both
Mike
and
Patty
are
short
-
changed
when
it
comes
to
mauling
the
mattress
.
"
Patty
was
not
quite
as
far
away
as
Ruth
,
but
far
enough
.
She
looked
up
and
said
,
"
Sam
dear
,
I
don
’
t
feel
short
-
changed
.
"
"
Huh
?
"
Sam
then
announced
,
loudly
and
bitterly
,
"
The
only
thing
wrong
with
this
church
is
that
a
man
has
absolutely
no
privacy
!
"
This
brought
a
barrage
of
food
in
his
direction
,
all
from
distaff
members
.
He
handled
it
all
and
tossed
it
back
without
lifting
a
hand
?
until
the
complexity
of
it
apparently
got
to
be
too
much
and
a
plateful
of
spaghetti
caught
him
full
in
the
face
-
thrown
,
Jubal
noticed
,
by
Dorcas
.
For
a
moment
Sam
looked
like
a
particularly
ghastly
crash
victim
.
Then
suddenly
his
face
was
clean
and
even
the
sauce
that
had
spattered
on
Jubal
’
s
shirt
was
gone
.
"
Don
’
t
give
her
any
more
,
Tony
.
She
wasted
it
;
let
her
go
hungry
.
"
